    The world is coming to an absolute cataclysm. The US government is a non functioning shell and what does function is a kleptocracy. There’s a pandemic of sickness and death. Industries are at a stand still. It’s a depression combined with a race war multiplied by an uncontrollable virus. No one is getting out of this alive.

    have a fucking sense of humor and an honest dose of self awareness.

    Well, being a racist piece of shit on a message board is sure to fix all your ills!

    Grow the heck up. Recognize you’re not always right. That things are more complex than simplistic phrases
    The way things may appear to you, conventional wisdom compounded with self righteous indignation, are meant to provoke simplistic responses, like You’ve demonstrated.
    But have some perspective and context. And a sense of humor.

    Sorry for not finding humor in your racism. You're a sick individual.

    Not enough bandwidth on the board to address that one ...

    Perspective. It's a beautiful thing.

    People are weary. They're sick and tired of being sick and tired. As we work through this, we're going to hear some people say some ugly things. Hours and hours of this, I'm seeing that at every level, we have to do two things:

    1.) Look at where it's coming from and ask what pain is attached to it.
    2.) Hold up a mirror and ask if this is the legacy we want to leave, even if it's only for the five minutes after we hit "send" or paused to draw a breath.

    Note: I am not sure this is what I really want to say. I'm tired. I'm pissed off. Plug in whatever angry anti-social tirade you want here.

    They worked to pull down 80 statues, but only got credit for 40.
