64. I wish people would stop "freaking out" over shit that hasn't happened yet
Wed Sep 24, 2025, 06:41 PM

Of course they are going to blame the left for the incident, whether it's true (which is rare) or not, in which case they will just BLAME US ANYWAY (which is what happens most of the time.)

Our side has to stop freaking out over these things, it doesn't help and in fact is exactly what they want us to be...reactive and off balance. It makes us look bad to always be freaking out about things we have no control over.
