    Hard to grasp how incredibly broken those people are. Like, has no one ever told them it actually feels good to help other people? It’s been scientifically supported as one of the most effective joy-inducing activities known, far beyond acquiring wealth or shopping. Ironically, it’s probably the best way to demonstrate a sense of power (which these hollow souls seem to pursuing, through vitriol)…the power to influence someone else’s existence in a beneficial way.

      I know, right? There are some people that just are mentally broken in some irreparable way, but that’s a small percentage. The rest, it’s just so hard to imagine what led them here. And it’s sad that it’s come to this.

        As the other commenter alluded, perhaps they’ve just calcified their brains into a transactional paradigm trapped in a zero-sum arena.

        They never flirted with the idea love can be an infinite resource.

      What do you think he was doing but help white people? There is no evil, just ‘good’ people killing or surpressing those who are standing in the way to a good world.
