I will have to process all that, but that is why I read your posts. My subconscious has a mind of its own, but so far it roots for the home team (jfz9580m first!!!) if I scrape off instinctive bougeois inhibition or something…

I do respect non-mechanical thinking..
Humans are a strange animal alright, but honest human communication in its strangest forms still beats the other kind…

We are dealing with something far worse than a simple scenario..
It has driven jfz9580m finally to some sort of raucous something..

Maybe it is a little cheesy, but one of my favorite American writers is Herman Wouk..and he was a conservative, but he was not mindless.

Maybe you can understand this PCIntern as a veteran of online discussion..I can handle anything but truly mindless or disingenuous discourse. We are all susceptible to thought terminating cliches but perma survival mode forces an inelegant form of movement as opposed to something more deliberative.
It is a judgement on me for never having planned ahead..I cannot be dishonest but a lurching Frankenstein’s monster like gait is a form of movement..

Andy Nikiforuk, one of my favorite authors who does the balancing act better than many in calling out all sided stupidity a lot had a really good piece:

Honest disagreement is one thing. But harnessing and exploiting stupidity to make reality/truth irrelevant and ahistorical is not just evil..it is myopic and wrong and dammit at some point it all affects jfz9580m who is not an impractical person!

Thanks PCIntern…ridiculous Idiocracy we live in..

Oh..I didn’t mean you were mixing it up. I was awkwardly trying to communicate that I would never be sleazy or disrespectful enough to lie where I disagree.

But…what is the least ..I identify people with somewhat different views who are still basically honest and decent people.

One of the problems of the fake sugar of online communications is it doesnt work if we are not all the thorny and unpredictable humans we are. A serious issue the left has ..like herding cats.
But times are bad enough that someone who warily tried to keep a low profile with differing degrees of trepidation ie me is mixing it up.

I am not ever running for office or ever going high profile so it is all very peculiar..heh. It is a real stressor for a type of female who is stubbornly committed to her original profession of choice and the dullest type of commensurate routine stem income stream and nothing more to have to do voluntary, academic shit work that isn’t even recognized as such and have it misinterpreted as something different.

These are truly odd waters for the citizen scientist ..but on the plus side there is a lot to be said for being a true NPC/angry villager if you can pull it off..better than always being a hapless pawn..a role that chafes one..
Moronic mass movement orchestrated this way, that way..with no holistic sense.
