Absolutely! You don’t have any say in what family you are born into, they might be good, might suck ducks, more likely somewhere in between. You can choose family that are not biologically related to you, and love them as purely or even more so than you do biological family. Many refer to their close friends as chosen family for this very reason. Love who you love and be happy, no matter who may try to piss on your happiness.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction

Umm wasn’t Sagan responsible for scientology?

Thank you for responding. I have boiled down the aggregate of answers as basically a tankie supports authoritarianism, or use of violence to deal with opposition. If this take is incorrect, someone please correct where I have it wrong. Btw, I have deliberately ignored references to left/right as meaningless in my quest for information.

Thank you all for your help, it is much appreciated!

Just wanted to add that here online, you can expound at length on any topic you are passionate about. If someone is not interested, they’ll move on. If they are interested, they’ll engage with the topic, if they are a troll they’ll say something rude. So, ignore the trolls, chat happily away with any who engage, and you won’t even miss those who don’t care. It’s all good.

Wouldn’t it be more effective to simply delete whole subreddits en masse? Not only would that spit in spez’s face, but it would drive many to other sites like here. Or am I missing something on account of being a low tech old fart?
