After spending a couple days interacting with them, I have come to agree with the common sentiment hexbear already had that it’s probably not worth trying to persuade a small number of steadfast neoliberals among those of us with limited patience, which includes myself.

If I’m a wimp and you still want to go buck wild, of course.

      Something I’ve realized with them is that liberals are just completely incurious about the world.
