I’m with you on this. There are many staunch / impassioned takes around here in the vein of us-vs-them.

I like the idea of championing what’s good and skipping the finger pointing part. Folks will shout freedom & sovereignty from a mountaintop while essentially saying “but don’t do ___ because I said so” in the same breath.

Outside of conflict being more interesting than high-fives only (movies need an antagonist for example), and the human tendency to bandwagon or pick a side (a la sports fandom)… I really don’t get it.

I don’t see anyone poo-pooing Damus on Twitter, but the reverse is true over here. This is odd.

My theory: it’s just part of the culture for peeps sharing an idyllic vision of the future. Which is mildly ironic? idk just musing. Happy Friday to all :)
