Thank you.

Now just for starters, you realize that there are many different types of channels that cover police brutality?
Yes but I thought the ones I watched were always above this kind of behavior. I mean, at lest one still is.
Do you seek out sensible coverage of police brutality other than the ones that are causing some sort of anxiety, or are you mainly just looking for ones that offend you?
at times, I've done the latter but I try to do the former and I mostly stick to ones I trust or at least, used to trust.

I'm getting better but I don't think I'll have complete peace of mind until either this toxicity on the left is addressed or at least, I am no longer told I am just as bad as right wingers for wanting to be the better person.

Addressed to what end?

To stop it or let it be known it will not be tolerated but I think I don't need to worry actually, I am not sure they will but if those individuals want to be monsters, I can't stop them and the leftists I still respect will never support them in that scenario.

Just stop, at this point your the one with the problem, and commenting here doesn't help.

Well I'm not trying to stop you from caring or anything, but you're not exactly the first person to notice stuff like this. It's not a secret that there is toxicity on the left, and you're basically trying to be initial in the same manner that religious missionaries do. Not that that's wrong, but it's just, well, religious, and not really suitable for impersonal interaction a lot of the time.

I kept going back and forth between thinking I can change those toxic individuals or at least rebuke them, to realizing I can't and asking others to do it for me.

That's basically what politics is. Like, not exactly of course, but that tends to be the flow of things. Politics though is also more about thinking as "us" with that being inclusive of everybody. It just happens to get divided between people who disagree about the best way to go about that.

DBF, I'm gonna ask a question and I don't mean it rhetorically, like in a hostile or snide way, I genuinely want to know: How old are you? You can be vague if you like.

Another thing: what else is going on in your life that's weighing on you and stressing you out?

I ask these things because how you're behaving feels similar to how I'd react to some troubles in my life when young combined with the behaviour of many troubled teens I knew that became obsessed with current events trends. This might just be the young being young, but it could also be you seeking a way of coping. Maybe it could be you desiring to solve this problem because you lack control over your own troubles even if this issue is beyond your scope of control. People always love to save the world when they can't save themselves.

Think about it and fi need be, just PM me if you want to say something but not in public.

This is where the youth run afoul of timeless troubles. They first realize how troublesome and messy something like politics is, assume it's broken and can be fixed and that no one has ever really tried because they've come into their newly expanded intellect and presume that they see the world clearer than all those silly older folks who certainly don't think as sharply as they do.

Well nobody explains how this stuff works really.

I'm actually 31 but also, I am special needs and feel like I am not doing anything with my life.
