To say that this speaks to me would be a euphemism. I feel seen. Thank you, brother.

Jordan! Wow! Wow wow wow. THANK YOU for this gorgeous and heartfelt gift. It beautifully articulated so much of what I have been feeling, thinking, and embracing. It all resonates powerfully, both thinking about my personal story right now and that of the collective.

oky doke. oh btw do you still think leftists were being histrionic when they called Trump a fascist? are you still feeling activated? pumped? I noticed you paywalled that article. Have you finally realized that people like you destroyed the USA because they were bored with their lives?

Your tone is dripping with accusatory resentment and it doesn't seem likely to be useful to engage further. You are distorting my messages and projecting a lot onto me. My writings on Trump are all still as publicly available as ever

I did not vote for Trump and have presented many critical views of him, while also balancing this with a level of nuance and openness to potential upsides -- and I continue to be critical while also holding space for non-knowing, as no one truly knows what is going on or where all this is leading

Take care

Lmao. Where are they then? Those are just words. Very non-dual of you. Do you want a gold sticker for not voting for trump, mr both-sides? I remember very clearly you saying comparisons to hitler were absurd. Well, only two months in and we are already in the concentration camp phase. Oh it must be a projection. I should heal more and maybe the the camps will go away.

I hope people see this, as immature people like you with no sense reality should NOT running men's groups.

"the concentration camp phase" -- you sound ridiculous, my friend. concentration camps were places where millions were tortured and murdered in gas chambers. where are you seeing those in the current American landscape? oh, that's right, there aren't any. you trivialize the Holocaust when you draw such preposterous comparisons

think what you like about me -- you don't know me and you're making huge assumptions based on a few scattered data points. you believe reality can be reduced to your reductive black-and-white narrative but it simply cannot

take it easy man, i wish you all the best

This is why i said what i said. It's not ridiculous, at all. You have no idea what is going on. You have no understanding of history, or really much of anything. The death camps came AFTER the concentration camps. Pick up a damn book. People like you play a big part in defending the indefensible.

And no, don't tell me to take it easy. My response to this is appropriate. Yours is not. Look at this: https://www.npr.org/2025/04/21/g-s1-61500/house-democrats-land-in-el-salvador-demand-abrego-garcias-return. These men were taken off the street in the United States. Most of them have no criminal record. They had no due process whatsoever. Consider that you might be just another ignorant American who has no idea what is going on outside of his safe little world. Safe for now. WAKE UP.

Ok, done with this thread. Goodbye.
