A lot has changed for me in the last year. I've gone from being a somewhat detached observer to a pretty committed SJW.
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

To suggest that he is an imbecile is to underestimate him. Is more than he looks, study it carefully and you will know how to beat him.

This problem will not be resolved with shouts of frustration, but with earnestness and facts. And talk seriously with all parties involved.

Current psychological research gives us little hope that facts will resolve anything.
