I'm always conflicted, in that I often want to argue with people who are Wrong on the Internet, school them a little, point out their malignancy, because people annoy the shit out of me on a constant basis, and I think maybe repressing myself from speaking my mind for fear of being disliked (or worse, banned from places) is cowardly and unhealthy, but, on the other hand, arguing with people, especially people on the internet, is petty and fruitless. You'll never change anyone's mind, and assaulting someone with negativity doesn't help them, it just becomes a two-way shit throwing contest. And a wise person feels no need to argue with anyone.

Once a year I come here to write something random and your "If this statement weren't true, you'd still be confused." Always confuses me to the point where i don't actually write anything

Do you think there will be a backlash to all the censorship, the "wokeness" the indoctrination of our kids? I do, enter Trump 2024. Ppl think I'm crazy. But I think with all I mentioned, combined with the fact we see what a Biden administration looks like. And it ain't peaches right now. We can't pay for gas, food, our babies have no formula. Drag queens are teaching our 5 yr olds about sex. Like the kingdom is burning dudes 😆
I think there will also be a massive backlash against all these ultra-conservative things the supreme court is doing/planning to do. So I don't know who's going to win. Probably the liberals because society has nomentum, it's going somewhere, and "progressiveness" seems to be what's increasing. And all the conservatives are old people who will die off and the younger generations are all being more and more indoctrinated with wokeness. Though I guess maybe both sides of the culture war will become equally irritated with each other. We're only becoming more and more polarized. I don't know what it will culminate in if not civil war. Though in numbers, the liberals are winning. The conservatives only have leverage because they're more willing to subvert democracy, and because it's the preferred party of the rich and the rift between the rich and poor keeps increasing in a runaway train.

Do you or will you donate some money to the retrospring team on patreon? https://www.patreon.com/retrospring

Are the owners of retrospring bums for panhandling through patreon? When I make donations it's to people who work hard to make the world better, eg.- Kenneth Copeland
IMO, it's completely fair for anybody who provides a public service out of their pockets to ask for donations. If you donate to them, you'll be getting what you pay for. If you only want to donate to people who are working to change the world, that's fine, that's your prerogative, maybe it's even a good idea, but it doesn't make retrospring bums.

With America now waist deep in a recession. Biden is resorting to the old school defense of redefining the question. Trying to redefine what a recession is. I'm old enough to remember the Bill Clinton blowjob scandal. And Bill when asked if he got a hummer in white house instead redefined the word "Is" We know what is means, we know what a blowjob is, we know what a recession is. 🙄
Actually, Clinton's questioning the word "is" was very valid and astute. The prosecutor was asking him if he was having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky (or something like that), and apparently he'd had relations months or years ago but not recently. So, how recently does it have to be to count as still having relations? Clinton was just trying to be honest. It annoys me when people fail to understand this and make fun of him for asking about the definition of "is." (As for Biden and the recession, I have no idea. I haven't heard of this.)
