Y u mad, bro?

Thanks for your sentiment. Even tho I didn't practice brevity in writing to you, I'm not actually THAT worked up by it. I mean, their actions did inspire me to post more and comment more.
But my political outlook and Lemmy is a very small, hobby-ish part of my life. I'm recently retired so I have lots of time. My Lemmy posting is usually just in between the other fun projects I work on.
Lemmy is still a relatively small community, so the same names often pop up. Which makes it seem that I'm more active than I really am. I check in daily at different times during the day when I have time or am eating, but I'm not on here for hours at a time.
And that's also the reason I can't give you a reasonable critique on the current material conditions of our country. I'm not that educated or well-spoken. I'm pro-union, pro-worker safety, and pro-privacy. I subscribe to socialist material and enjoy reading it and supporting it. And I may start a local chapter of the Socialist Workers party (the party I voted for in the election).
But I am by no means a philosopher/scholar in socialism.
Thanks, friend!
This is good news!
There's not a revolution happening. Everything will stay the same. Lemmy's aren't gonna put down Pokemon Go long enough to actually do anything uncomfortable. Dems don't wanna change things. And republicans are too stupid.
This are gonna be like this for a while. Lemmy thinking that some weird shooting a CEO was gonna start a wave of "eat the rich" soldiers going out and taking back society are a fucking joke. None of that is going to happen. I promise. Feel free to safe this message for proof of what I'm saying.
