I've also watched my country fall into reactionary madness and elect a dangerous imbecile.

I've lost much of the sense of light-heartedness, fun and good humor I had when I started. Politics now often makes me very unhappy.

I also worry I'm losing my ability to communicate with the Right. I've watched one two many people get a little two cozy with people and...

...ideas that I think are not just wrong but really characteristic of the worst politics human beings are capable of.

So it's more of a struggle than ever to try to see the humanity in the other side, to avoid feeling like a combatant in a good v. evil fight

But I still stand by my decision to leave the academic walls and try to engage populist ideas head on.

It's going to take a lot more effort than when I started, but I want to try to keep the good humor, humanity, and debate alive

I used to be anti-SJW, I guess you could still consider me one if you use the term in its original sense. Not that anyone uses it anymore.

I mean remember when "SJW" was the radfem flavour of "keyboard warrior" and not... anyone who gives a shit about minorities?
