Got 12hr banned from the hell-scape site because I was baited by an overt fascist into telling him to do something that I thought I had grown out of. They make me so mad though. I should have just gone with the classic "follow your leader" but the urge to be explicit was too strong.

I know it's not likely to change anything, but I sent a well detailed & formal email to Chris Penk after learning he had overturned Candace Owens being banned from coming to NZ. Hopefully might inspire some other people to speak up directly.

The things I am reading and seeing going on on the hell site are starting to deeply affect me but I also can't seem to rip myself away from it. How can so many people be so horrible?

It is a political parties job to win votes from the people, it is not the peoples job to give votes to a political party for simply not being a different party.
People who didn't vote aren't responsible for a Trump victory, people who voted for Trump are responsible.

Flirting with the idea of moving back over here but my brain is so broken is just wants to read twitter and get angry about it. I say "no, brain, that's not good for us" and it goes "maybe so, BUT...."

There's a lot to attack this new government for but I don't think reduced police funding is the area to attack. That's pretty based actually.
