  • You know what will make you feel better? Learn about early American history, specifically the Revolutionary War and the period shortly before it. Ordinary citizens conquered one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Ordinary citizens. People like you and me. There was no “perfect savior” to lead them, either - George Washington was in over his head at first, but was smart enough to learn from his mistakes.

    What’s going on now is nothing to celebrate, but the ani-establishment heroes of the past certainly are.







  • Uhm, maybe my phrasing wasn’t the best. I meant how do I deal with that?

    Beyond simple proofreading and making sure you’ve expressed yourself clearly, you deal with it by not dealing with it. You can’t please everyone. Plus, some people have poor reading comprehension, some people are looking for any reason to start an argument, etc.

    Don’t drive yourself crazy by worrying about “perfect” phrasing. There’s no such thing, and even if there is, somebody somewhere would be happy to pick it apart anyway.

    You can only control your message. You can’t control how it will be received.
