No one enjoys going through hardship only to be told they're a bad person for having had to go through it in the first place. I see this attitude a lot in Conservative camps from people who've never had to reevaluate a single opinion they ever held and I hold it in just as much contempt as I hold the Left in. It's outright derision of personal growth and that's a very unhealthy message to be propagating, both morally and from a more cynical pragmatic standpoint as well, although I attribute far more importance to the former.
And I'm as bitter and hateful as I am because of how much hardship I had to endure under during those days just to come out on the other side with a lot of the people who were gladly trying to stone me before "suddenly" switching sides and trying to act like my comrade in the battle they brought upon us.
I'll concede my grudges are both petty and likely unhelpful, but I am unwilling to fully let them go either because of how bad some of those days got. And I hold you no true ill will through them, regardless.
Where else would new allies come from when everyone has already taken sides?
My "culture war" was already lost, and it happened before GG even started. Allies are only important when you intend to win, and I'm well past the point of believing there is any hope but the collapse and rebuild.
And its not that I am unwilling to accept them regardless, but I have strong beliefs on the concepts of repentance and humility. Something most of my so called "Allies" consider dirty words, which is an issue when my views are so extreme I teeter on wanting all Leftists hanging from streetlamps (next to the niggers and illegals) as a symbol of our country finally being back.
