    Dude there’s a whole set of theory called Critical Theory which deals entirely with the idea that we must always critique the status quo because things can always be better. In fact, Critical Race Theory, which became a trumped up bogeyman for the right, is a subset of Critical Theory.

    Maybe if you knew someone on the inside with no hope of getting out you’d feel different and want this ended as well as the death sentence. I don’t know man, I don’t have solutions because we have a fascist steamrolling our government. Sorry I had the fucking audacity to say anything I guess I should shut my mouth to protect myself from the Fuhrer like a good little prole.

      There is a difference between approaching a solution with “no, it’s not good enough” and “good, now let’s make it better”. It’s not really different if you strip feeling out of it, but in a greater context, that feeling means something.

      I agree with your responses, but you’re overall using the former technique. That will rub people wrong and spark conflict.
