That is ok, what bothered me is the fact that you joked about him at all, especially using that post as a example.
I mean, if you go on the record stating you failed at everything at life but you have 15k posts.. it means you both
won at something, and
failed that aswell. That was the
chuckle really. It really isn't anymore elaborate than that.
i think there is a difference between making jokes against fanatic people who call anyone that thinks differently Nazis, fascists, sexists, al its in the world and making jokes about posts of depressed people who post they want to die and are miserable.
Barring the more sensitive matters, but its a public secret that ERA is hosting some truly bleak stuff and some really depressed and ffed up people - People who on the other end of the spectrum hate everything and everyone regarding Trump. There are 2 names that instantly pop up in my mind regarding this.
There is nothing to laugh at with that and i have written before that these
Little Helpers deserve the sympathy, but i don't want to turn a blind eye and forfeit that on the other end of the spectrum, they say terrible vile stuff. It is bothersome, because all that hate speech that is spent, could have and should have been used to help these people out. And whilst ERA has a few threads, i geniunely feel that in general, ERA isn't really helping their people out - Save for the Tidal thread which, unsurprisingly, was featured in their 1 year anniversary newsletter.
As some one who is just finishing up reading
The Gulag Archipelago, I find the user base of RestEra very similar to a communist'esque regime.
The stressed ideas of giving names, stifling decanting thought, the "good of the group"
And as bad as the want to ostracize people left here openly debating stuff I for one welcome them all back. I want MORE diverse opinions.
I want absolute open dialogue.
If its anything like Sonderkommando Auschwitz than that is a heavy pilled book to go through.
The pick above is also one i can highly recommended if one is interested hearing from the bee's knees what the Sonderkommando, the cleaning unit of prisoners in Auschwitz after the gassing had to endure. Amazingly, some survived, and then there is this story.
I can imagine your book is of similar bleakness. Knowing a bit about Russian history and Gulags, its vile shit.
