Thanks. I'm glad you stepped off that ledge before diving further right. Keep letting any remaining poison leave your body! May you perceive so much more beauty in the little things everyday. Sometimes when we're shitty, a grotesque looking reflection is all we need to snap back to reality. During wake up moments like that, I've been in deep despair, but extra happy to feel sunshine and rain on my skin.:meow-melt:

Yeah I bet his words were batshit. Racism is wrapped around illogic. At the core of every race conspiracy is nonsense. Sounds like his presence was viscerally repulsive.

I'm sorry your friend group looks like a bunch of radicalizing libs. Conservatives and their ghoulish views feel lowkey scary to hear. I hate when they show their ass with a monsterous statement. I'm not the best at speaking my mind, but I do listen, and I can relate with losing more people to centrist ideologies.

I gotta take care of myself better before I try to pull liberals out from getting rabbit-holed into actual race conspiracies. But I'm proud of you for the long way you've come, and your efforts to pull loved ones back from a similar dark fate. You seem like a very decent man. Good luck. :soviet-heart:
