As a former redditor, fair.
With twitter in particular, I really really don't get how any leftists are still on there. Its like, beguiling.
Honestly, if you are any kind of a progressive or leftist or just don't identify as a rightwing piece of shit, and are still on twitter once Elon took it over, you might be a part of the problem.
I know its an extreme take, but I'm like, fresh out of fucks.
But what about the comic?! The comic says I don’t have to change my lifestyle to align with my purported values! It absolves me of my responsibility to do anything beyond complain, no matter how trivial the change required! Doesn’t the comic say complaining about a problem is basically just as good as actually contributing to fixing it?
I can’t remember if Milo or Binkley said it, but “there are no moral absolutes in a complex world.”
