 everyone's all like "everything sucks" but I'm feeling confidence and a kind
 of... externalized vigor? that's sweeping me off my feet. We'll see what
 tomorrow brings, in the general sense.

 this man who was slain - charlie kirk - he has followers. those followers will   │
 have to go somewhere. this event will focus the right, and force their           │
 contradictions into conflict. some good will come of it, some bad.               │
 the right in America is bottom-heavy. they have more followers than leaders.     │
 the left in America is top-heavy. we have more leaders than followers.           │
 tit-for-tat may create a feedback loop, one which will create tragedy on both    │
 sides, but one which we will outlast. But again, focusing our foes, and when     │
 the loop expires they will be focused while we will remain disorganized. there   │
 are many more of us than them, but they do what they're told. we, don't know     │
 who to listen to, and rely on the "wisdom" of the masses                         │
 war is a game of sacrificial suffering. This is a "cold civil war" or so I've    │
 heard, and who are we to sacrifice next? the losses are uncountable - not        │
 because they are innumerable, but because we cannot count them. it's impossible. │
 interesting to see what lies ahead.                                              │

 some days it feels like my bones are hollow and my flesh is made out of
 cardboard.
 
 today is one of those days. IDK WHY IT JUST HAPPENS SOMETIMES. Just "just a
 girl" things I guess.

 Oh, duh. I felt that way because I'd have to use those bones and muscles in the
 near future. It all makes sense now...!

 This is taken from the Wikipedia article on neo-nazism. This 9% figure,          │
 totaling 22 million people, has only gone up in the 8 years since that poll was  │
 taken. I'm sure the wikipedia editors have gone back and forth about the most    │
 important or shocking detail to add to this important article, and so I am       │
 trusting that this is valid.                                                     │
 that number has only gone up.                                                    │
 I am a communist. I fuckin' hate nazis. I would slay a nazi before anyone else.  │
 I don't hate the person, I hate the religion. I am quick to forgive, too quick   │
 if you ask any of my allies. I am that way on purpose, by design.                │
 But I'd slay a nazi if they showed themselves to me.                             │
 The question I have been asking myself lately is: "would you abandon communism   │
 if it meant defeating this foe?" and yeah, if it was that simple, I'd let        │
 posterity handle utopian societal organization.                                  │
 The dillemna I struggle with is this: would I be alright with a democracy that   │
 had liberals on one side and communists on the other?                            │
 yeah.                                                                            │

picture of a snippet of a wikipedia article on "neo-nazi-ism", specifically the start of the section on neo-nazi-ism in the united states.  In 2017, following the Charlottesville car attack, an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 9% of Americans considered having neo-Nazi beliefs was acceptable; at the time, this amounted to 22 million Americans.

 Hey, life is better on my side. If you wanna renounce your beliefs, please do,
 and tell me how and why you changed your mind.
 
 tell me it was wrong. tell me how.
 
 confess.
 
 confess
 
 confess to me.
 
 I will listen and I will hear you and I will be the mercy for you.
 
 confess and I will forgive.
 
 show me how you are wrong.
 
 give grace to those who are wronged.
 
 take as much time as you need, but, there's only so much time.
