    The guilt drips from you like the hydrogenated vegetable oil that leaks from your sweat pores.

    And you’re angry, so angry that you are being reminded of your cowardice and inaction and being held accountable for it, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, so you lash out. Like you worthless knuckledraggers always do.

    Get over it, spanky. Your refusal to take responsibility for the decline of your country means YOU and only YOU are responsible for the impending fascism that will kill millions of your countrymen, including your loved ones. Your refusal to take responsibility means YOU and only YOU are responsible for the destruction of the planet from climate collapse. And YOU and only YOU are the one who’s going to suffer from your anger. I am not going to be affected in the slightest by your anger or your outbursts or your temper tantrums. You can’t affect me that way. Anger is a poison you swallow hoping to kill your enemy, and you chugged that shit.

    Only one who’s going to suffer is you.

      … then let me ask you a question, since you seem to have figured out my entire psychological profile as well as my biography from this conversation alone.

      what country was i born in?

      you really don’t have any arguments do you? just insults based on nothing, that miss the mark completely. this started as a conversation about dark humour being used as a coping mechanism for the misery we’re faced with daily. if you’re so hasty to try to insult me basing purely on your assumption of who i am, maybe take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if you yourself aren’t the person you just so angry at.

      as much as i’d like to block your absurd attempts at trying to own whatever version of me you’ve dreamed up in your bright little head, let me indulge in the satisfaction of telling you that:

      i am actively doing my part, as much as i can, in protecting the environment. Taking the bus or even biking whenever i can, always using metal straws, opting for recycled paper products when i get the choice to, indeed turning off the lights whenever i leave the room, loading up the washing machine fully to not waste water, making monthly donations to my environment conserving charity of choice, to name a few. i am doing the best my financial situation allows me to contribute to slowing down of our planet’s decline. And yet, despite the fact i’ve been conscious of those issues for a long time - the world keeps getting worse. There is no reason for me to feel guilty in a situation where despite my best efforts - i am powerless to change anything.

      fascism? i thought we were talking about the environment? lmao. you did get that right, but seeing as a considerable amount of countries are going down that trend i won’t attribute it to clairvoyance. I vote every time i can, attend progressive protests, i’m an outspoken socialist in my circles, and actively debate with those around me to show them how logical fallacies and manipulation from the current government’s propaganda is affecting their worldview.

      to add to that, despite my negative outlook on the future of the world - i am one of the least angry people i’ve ever met, i prefer respectful debate to whatever the hell you’re trying to perform, and have not lashed out, believe me you have not seen me lash out, quite frankly i don’t remember the last time i did. If you read my words in an angry tone that’s entirely on you. Spare for the “bright little head”, which i couldn’t resist given your numerous baseless assumptions about me, i have not insulted you in this entire conversation, now look at what you’ve written and tell me who’s the angry one.

      anyhoot, you’ve wasted my time, and disappointed me quite enough. i’ll take my leave, have fun poorly psycho-analysing and insulting strangers whilst you refuse to make any actual arguments, cheers
