I wish i could reply to the whole post, but its a few points above my iq. I want to add with your family part here-

Where me and my family differ is that they never got out of the captivity of these systems. They just became more ruthless, and thereby successful. These systems reward sociopathy. Even though my family butts heads with me politically, they do see me as a bizarrely moral person. As much as they may hate my politics by conditioning, they do instinctively recognize that my morality and principles are sound and important. They actually want me exposed to their kids because they know that they failed at something that I somehow developed: a very strong moral, principled, and virtuous core.

It may also be that they are deeply narcissistic and manipulative people, and so they've told you want you wanted to hear from them, to keep you around, but are still the deeply rooted and self centered folks they have always been, which has likely always divided you from them at a young age.

And on the part about Current, I do agree, that's where i diverge with him as well. it sounds temping to run into the hands of racial support, but at the end of the day we are a multifaceted nation with many great citizens, none whom are defined by their genetics, (maybe kamala, lol) but there are great americans of every skin color, and only in this nation, could we have such a monumental pact. The seeing every problem as 'race' is WRONG, becasue it is politics (dems citys) and ECONOMICS (poverty fucks up all in its wrath), not race, and the unique american condition allows ALL, not just x y z race to win, to find success and self sacrifice, you cant say that about MOST nations in the world, without being a part of the 'predominant' in-group, whether it be racial, religious, or political. This country allows the TRUE minority to prosper. and thats not of any color of skin, but of value, and our virtues, with it. THAT is something to fight for.

The overwhelming focus on race only serves to divide us more, as a nation. and I fear thats what all of our enemies want (chyna, russia, and the new ones yet to be seen).

We need to work together, and one day achieve racial unity, once there, nothing will stop the best country this world has ever seen.

You need a place to land.

I fully agree with the rest of your insight. I have nothing to add, so I will keep it at that, we should build up these communities, because it will itself lead the way for a better tomorrow/ And I wanna thank you for this post, gizort, because Ive been dealing with some heavy bullshit in the preceeding weeks and through today, and norms death had made it an even shittyier one, one of those few comics i'd always enjoyed, maybe he will end up being one of the best of our time; regardless. Thanks for getting my mind of the assorted tragedies that I wont get into on a gamersub. And it's an excellent post, as usual, Gizort. Keep em comin/

Its those among us who will decide to build up this great nation, that will do so, and what better place to do it, then with the internets most infamous hive of bigots and sexists, and all my gg frens/ Cheers, bois. 🍷🎮 🐸
