I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.

Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.

As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.

I disagree. These are the people who call compassion the "woke mind virus" and they are takers. They live their entire lives taking from others because they think they deserve it. Yet fight against others receiving support and care.

Expend energy on people who give back instead.

thanks for your comment, i completely understand your perspective, but, you know, they say exactly the same kinda stuff about the people that they hate. it makes me uncomfortable seeing MAGA reflected in their enemies

something something gaze into the abyss something

I don't care what they say because they're liars. That's the difference. There's objectively no value in meeting liars half way. There's no value in "hearing them out" and there's no value in acting as though we just need to empathize harder.

They don't care if they lie as long as it furthers their goal, they don't care to hear what anyone else thinks, and they don't have any interest in empathy. If any of my prior statements were false then we wouldn't be where we are.

Your attempt to normalize Nazis is fucked up, to be honest. I am not a hateful person, I am done giving hateful people comfort. You should be ashamed for trying to equate the two concepts.

maybe you could approach me with compassion and try to understand, instead of just riding in on a high horse to pass judgment

or don't, believe what you want. i know i'm right.

doing the right thing is often hard. i'm gonna keep punching nazis, but when i see trump voters having their lives ruined, i'm going to put hatred aside to try to create a better world. you may not agree with me, but i hope my comments moved at least a few people.

We are tired of the hate. The tribalism. At the end of the day us seeing their humanity might help them see ours. We’ve been doing the hate for the past 8 years and it’s gotten us here.

Empathy will get more converts while anger will further radicalize all of us
