    I’m a progressive on paper, the Bernie Sanders kind and they’re calling me a Nazi.

    Correct. Are you pro genocide like Bernie too?

      No. That’s why I usually say I’m a progressive on paper, but no modern politician represents that definition despite what they may call themselves. I like that Bernie would invest in the environment and tax the shit out corporations and billionaires though.

          Anonymnity is a primary cause for the higher rate of insults in online comments compared to in-person interactions, driven by the “online disinhibition effect”. This phenomenon, where users feel unchained from typical social standards, leads to increased toxicity, lack of accountability, and dehumanization of others.

          Whatever eats at you, I hope improves. We’re all in this life together.
