I know. I’m still out of sympathy. They’re gonna be indoctrinated by their parents and will continue being the proximate (and yes, I know that’s not the root) cause of the problem. Sometimes the symptoms need to be addressed before the underlying issues are.
I’m on a medication that suppresses my immune system. I know precisely what the dangers are here.
I disagree. I'm glad people like my brother's friend kept trying to reach me when I was still roped into the lies my parents regurgitated from the Republicans and ultra wealthy. It takes effort to get through that wall and reach the person. For me, it was pointing out all the lies I was being a mouthpiece to and checked for myself. He wasn't mad, or condescending, and through his patience I realized all the shit my parents believed were basically all bullshit.
As for this comment, I get the sentiment behind it, but abandoning these youth as they parrot their parents', just prove what the right says about the others like the Democrat party. I agree that a lot of their parents are long gone through propaganda and a buildup of lead in their brains, but we can get through to youth if we don't write them off out of the gate.
