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
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?
@shoutcacophony that's ok I still love you
