hi. welcome to western civilization. you see, there's been this struggle going on for some time now between altruism and narcissism, aka conservatism and liberalism, aka leftist vs. right wing, and in the last few decades it's gotten pretty heated (it's done this before) and so yeah... the future of civilization is kinda hanging in the balance so maybe it's time for you to realize that:

IT'S A WAR. PICK A FUCKING SIDE.

Buddy. It might be time to put down the Internet for a while. This shit isn't new and has been going on as long as civilizations have had a democracy. This isn't new, this isn't even kinda old, this shits so staged it's pretty clear your being propagandized to and you've been hooked.

Give me a fucking break my guy. "iTs A wAr. PiCk A fUcKiNg SiDe."
