    I remember how this worked in Sweden where I live

    Yeah, things don’t work that way everywhere.

    We tried being nice in America. It got us here.

    You just go back to enjoying your ivory tower. We have actual problems here and your high road is not the solution.

      How did you try being nice? You have a war on everything… Drugs, freedom, privacy… Im honestly not sure how you see yourself as being nice…

      High road? Im also not sure how you took the high road. Im genuinely interested, maybe my perspective here is completely wrong.

        All of those things you mentioned were right wing power grabs.

        Taking the high road was letting that shit become mainstream.
