Shit let me fix everyones problem with everyone all at once:

Try loving people. If you can't, try loving yourself. If you can't, let people love you while you work on yourself.

Go be kind. Go be brave.

@Mainebot Except that doesn't work, except when it does 🤔

How is that not just power of positive thinking in another form?

I'm not arguing against any of what you said, though -- more like "wow, loving yourself/others/etc *while also* addressing the kinds of systemic oppression that won't just vanish and fade in the face of love", what a thought

@shoutcacophony

Let me boost your no constructive comment and reply:

If your implied decision-making process isn't rooted in a fundamental love of a shared humanity, then isn't it inherently selfish and exploitative?

@Mainebot Says the person framing their entire response as a leading question. Agree to disagree.

I'm blocking, you do whatever you want, because it's your feed

@shoutcacophony @Mainebot what he suggests would totally work, if *everyone* did it

@Mainebot Work in progress; but I still gotta live, even though I'm not "fixed" yet and frequently mess up and hurt people.
