    Your replies are so on point I'm saving this comment thread. This also really opened my eyes to the narrow mindedness of others. Sometimes broader historical knowledge is necessary to understand present day conditions.

    well i'm glad. i do my best to maintain an empathetic approach while also speaking the truth into the world my government wants to kill. this thread has been more mentally taxing than i would have preferred, but i keep reminding myself that it still connected with at least a few people even if all the comments are saying i'm in denial about that very same government's core nature and trying to deflect blame from it.

    I can't imagine seeing the word coagulate and having it stand out as "intellectual". I thought you did an excellent job of explaining a complex subject that is usually riddled with actual "five dollar words", in a digestible way.

    It's very thoughtful of you to keep responding to the angry folks dragging their clubs on the ground. Thank you for the labor. Good luck in your battles.
