Sent this to a lib friend of mine. Hasnt responded yet. He previously harshly scolded me for saying I wouldn’t mourn Carter’s death. He also complained abour leftists speaking horribly about world leaders. I probably shouldnt burn bridges but Im just so fucking mad at libs continuing to prioritize civility politics over actually doing or saying anything meaningful. Not to self-aggrandize obviously Im not doing activism feuding with my friends lmao. Anyway I guess Im still angry and I couldn’t help needling him. I probably need to grow up and let shit go lol.

    Sure, that’s why I think it’s good he got cancer and why op also thinks it’s good. Doesn’t explain why taunting a friend about it is a good idea though.

      who said it’s a good idea? i responded to the question of “why” someone does that kind of thing (because it feels good), not whether it’s a good idea (i don’t think it is, but it feels more good than bad in the short term)

      yeah, being nice and friendly is more of a “good idea”, but sometimes the brain can’t inhibit the urge to talk shit or troll shrug-outta-hecks
