Not sure why this 2 day old comment just showed up in my inbox, but have a response anyways.
Also an upvote for a well-worded response.
but at a certain point, patience is lost when it feels like people are just ignoring reality and continuing to not just participate in, but support institutions that have created a lot of harm for people.
I can appreciate their frustrations. I have certainly felt plenty of my own and dropped a slur or two particularly at politicians.
Some of my issue is directly related to how they express those frustrations in a public forum, but what really tweaks my tail is how overwhelming the support is for those responses.
I ignored them at first, but at some point I need to either address them or drop Lemmy, which at this point means dropping the last bit of social media that I am using. Places like Lemmy and Reddit help me stay informed, so I figured I would try pointing it out some before dropping social media again for a couple more years.
