    We need to find some way to meet their needs that isn’t politics

    Uhh, an MMO where they can run around shooting at minorities and yelling racial epithets into their mics?

      They’re scared. They are powerless to affect an uncertain future. They’ll get worse the longer they have to live like this. I guess we have to fix the world?

          Yeah, and a drowning man needs to stop thrashing and pulling down his rescuers, but he’s fucking drowning.

        They are easily scared you mean? For people who are so easily scared of everything, they sure seem to embrace guns and COVID like it’s their new Jesus.

          Your false bravado isn’t fooling anyone. If you’re not scared, you should be. If you feel in control of your future 20 years from now, you’re lying to yourself.
