A page from The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why by Amanda Ripley

I guess it’s not exactly surprising, but it seems to explain a lot of things I’m witnessing in my later adulthood. I’ve always felt deeply impressed by selfless heroes, but I never really pondered the profile of heroism.

          I tried to effect change for 8 years. I gave up when Americans decided that they wanted the shit world. My mental health can’t handle it, I literally am losing years of my life with every moment I spend reading about how the people in this country are hell bent on turning it into the worst possible existence.

            We were in this position before, a period of even greater division, even to the point of violence.

            Our mistake was not teaching the fascist confederates the price of evil.
