I know we're all tired of politics and junk, but just wanted to give you guys an RL update.
I was attacked.
Not online, not verbally, in real life. It was by someone from my work, didn't talk to me, didn't debate, just messaged me on Facebook calling me retard and the like, then after I blocked him he used a company truck and cut around me nearly hitting me off the road and into a building. I managed to avoid it.
In short, I will not withdraw my opinion, but this is why I said it aloud. I expected this, and it happened. I hate to say it but this is what I kind of expect these day. You say something different from the norm, and the "other side" will call you names, remove you from social media, and even take violent action.
That being said, thank you, thank you to my friends and people who took the time to talk, to discuss, even listening to my rather "passionate" views and used words, logic, and even if we disagreed they stuck around and talked it out, I'd say who they were but I don't want the hate shown to me to spread to them just because they weren't hostile towards me.
I have seen people who were understanding, kind, thoughtful, but to the blunt, it was only a few handful out of the majority I've seen.
I'm not right, I'm not left, I want peace, I want violence to stop unless it's needed to protect the innocent, regardless of who that is.
Keep a cool head on your shoulders guys, be good people, think how can I make the world a better place today and spread joy, understanding, and peace.
Cheers guys, God bless!
Tbh, people who act aggressively or try to destroy you (socially or otherwise) when criticized really aren't the ones you want in positions of power. Like...ever.
Stay safe
