          Just makes me feel more justified tbh. Thanks

            I didnt say it for you.

            I said it for anyone else reading this far down the thread.

            So your toxicity has some level of counterbalance.

            So some people can realize we can disagree but still work together.

            Because the only way you get what you want is by working for it. Not spitting in people’s eye when they’re already feeling hopeless.
