Though sadly, the truth seems to benefit most when it is backed by the real or proverbial blood of martyrs.
That's going to be yikes from me, dog.
Thank you for driving home my point, though. I don't think you're aware of how dangerous your mentality is and where it leads. I'd suggest to you that I am not your enemy and we likely have a lot of common ground. I don't think the US handled COVID well and I don't like to see others suffer so needlessly. I also think that there are many things we can do to prevent further diseases such as reduce our dependency on factory farming and to invest more in improving the general health of our country. I don't suspect you'd disagree with those thoughts.
I'm saying that the people who, most likely, matter the the most to you, have already made their judgment of you, and that's based on what can't be hidden by an anonymous username.
Because I believe the current trajectory of society will place more than just my reputation at risk for expressing my thoughts. Make of that what you will.
