No yeah I appreciate that. I wasnt sure anyone else could relate.

that I seriously believed that evil simply did not exist, and the closest thing to evil was just ignorance.

Yeah I believed essentially this for a long time. Like I'm pretty sure bullshit like "Hitler thought he was doing the right thing" came out of my mouth at some point.

I mean to some extent I still struggle with it. I have a hard time believing that "regular people" that I meet and can interact with can just be straight up evil. I still can only feel that way about historical figures and politicans and famous sex pests (and even then, only the worst ones) and such. I prefer to believe people are misguided in most cases. My mind tends to relate to why people think that way. And I mean, I am a stubborn rehabilitation and restoration guy when it comes to justice to this day, but now thats somewhat curtailed by the knowledge that some people cant be rehabilated, its just better to stick to it as a policy for a state.

That point about tear gas is good though.

I see a lot of lefties complain about libs as if they know they're thinly veiled fascists and are just pretending/virtue signaling

Yeah I admit my past makes this very frusterating to me. And also like, the freinds I have that are still libs and I know are fairly well meaning people overall, just misguided on some points. Ive never been as much of a fan of that kind of rhetoric.

Well said.

I think the seasoning packets made it look orange?

The way the system is explained in schools is sorta rigged towards people saying "oh well, the Supreme Court has the final say, guess theres nothing more he can do". Hexbear is one of the only places on the internet where people are saying otherwise, like to the point where I half question if I'm in a cult that believes some crazy shit that isnt actually true lol, I was raised in a semi-cult so I have some warriness of that to be fair. But yeah thats just the understanding the vast majority of people have about civics. We're taught that way. Theres really not much room left for questioning it outside of that.

I looked at your profile looking for this post (I failed) but I did see your top three final fantasies thread and responded to it three days late, because god I love that series.

Oh shit i missed something very relevat to my interests. Honestly my list fluctuates all the time and like, the possiblity of including Tactics makes it even worse

I think

1. IX
2. X

is pretty solidly true for me

But 3 could be any of IV, VI, VII, or Tactics for me depending on mood.

I also have huge soft spots for XII and XIII and think both are underated (for different reasons, also XII has been more appreciated in recent years).

Literally the least tough looking motherfucker alive.

He's team blue and team blue means take away guns.
