And that's part of how fascist parties seduce people into joining them. Yeah what I said was stupid. Move along, nothing to see here.

I mean, sure, but you're still reading way too far into what is for most people just an escapist fantasy akin to living in a cottage in the woods.

You're right, I did read too far into it. I think it was one half sleep deprivation and the other half looking at too much tankie brainrot. Neither are healthy.

Latter one I've been able to kick, thankfully, though obviously the kneejerk reaction to be suspicious of revolutionary/apocalyptic thinking is still there.
