  • Aside from that, I find it weird that the governor of a state has repeatedly spoken on behalf of the entire state illegitimately declaring what is and isn’t welcomed in the state. In the past, he said something about Florida is where woke goes to die. It’s a weird thing to do because the governor is the lead executive of a state government, not the cultural voice of the entire state. As far as I can tell, the state legislature decides who and what is welcomed in a state through laws. Aside from that, the population itself would be its own voice. Am I wrong? Does any other governor do that?

    Disclaimer: I don’t disagree with the Andrew Tate thing, but I find it weird that a governor is making these statements.



  • Crack addiction is so sad. The war on drugs has been such a disaster. Look at people that are addicted to crack and assess if they’re having a good life at everyone else’s expense. They’re absolutely not. Yet, we punish them by placing them in steel and concrete cages for years, make their lives much more difficult afterwards, then expect them to not use when they get out.

    The anti-American circle jerk is irritating and a bit hypocritical. There are very few countries that haven’t done fucked up shit, so that’s where I think the hypocrisy comes in. However, I think the real damage is the division it grows. It draws lines by nationality instead of more helpful characteristics such as values, ideals, and goals. We all have a lot more in common than we have differences. I tend to believe that things could improve if we work together towards a common goal rather than going around stereotyping and placing blame. Personally, I don’t think that an “us vs them” model is the best approach. We’re all here in this together. Maybe we could work towards understanding, inclusion, collaboration, and interdependence while accepting and even celebrating each other’s differences.
