  I’ve helped the NSA return stolen laptops, and risked my life putting out a forest fire with my hoodie before it got a chance to reach the dead grass field.

  Of course there’s things I can and have done to help change the world, but politics ain’t quite my thing.

    You’re contradicting yourself my dude. You give enough of a fuck to help people. Doing things for your community is a political action. Maybe you just haven’t gotten the chance to understand your political leanings

      Interesting perspective, I’ve never really looked at it like that.

        sorry for belaboring the point but

        That’s probably due to propaganda

        You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

        And thank you for being receptive
