My point is that the path I see some people going on here is a path that only leads to misery and self-destruction.

Yes, that is because this place is full of out there people. Definitely not all, but at least a substantial minority.

You cannot live a happy life living like this. You will suck the joy out of your own life.

I see your point, but do you think Alexander, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, anyone who did anything, was happy? I don't think so. Of course, the response is that just because they were not happy, does not mean that by being unhappy, you will become them. But my point is that happiness is definitely not the only consideration.

Conservatives have spent the past few decades being 'happy' instead of doing anything, conserving anything. That is why things got so much worse. If they had sacrificed 1/100 of their happiness, we would not be here.

This is how the left behaves. You cannot win against the left by becoming just like them. They have institutional support unlike the right.

Correct, simple copying is a recipe for disaster, as the people on January 6 found out (even though they did not even commit arson, murder, looting and mayhem).
