      Thanks for your sentiment. Even tho I didn’t practice brevity in writing to you, I’m not actually THAT worked up by it. I mean, their actions did inspire me to post more and comment more.

      But my political outlook and Lemmy is a very small, hobby-ish part of my life. I’m recently retired so I have lots of time. My Lemmy posting is usually just in between the other fun projects I work on.

      Lemmy is still a relatively small community, so the same names often pop up. Which makes it seem that I’m more active than I really am. I check in daily at different times during the day when I have time or am eating, but I’m not on here for hours at a time.

      And that’s also the reason I can’t give you a reasonable critique on the current material conditions of our country. I’m not that educated or well-spoken. I’m pro-union, pro-worker safety, and pro-privacy. I subscribe to socialist material and enjoy reading it and supporting it. And I may start a local chapter of the Socialist Workers party (the party I voted for in the election).

      But I am by no means a philosopher/scholar in socialism.

      Thanks, friend!
