It sounds like you have been deeply hurt and I am sorry that happened. I am not the guy who did that to you or someone you care about.
There are good men out there who would die to protect their children from other harms, are not predators and move society forward with a healthy contribution. I am one of those, not the other kind.
In terms of building a better world, that sounds amazing. Until that job is done, it definitely falls to me at a minimum to keep my family safe, because for now the world still has real dangers and predators that can hurt them.
But I am different to a woman, specifically if there's a violent threat or harm to the family.
I will step in first to handle it, I'm more suited to it. I won't be able to do it the other way around where I take the kids and run while the wife deals with whatever the threat is.
Or a simpler example, if I get attacked, I do not want the wife to step in. However, if she is attacked, I will step in.
Unless we're limiting the discussion to exclude those situations?
US citizens need to be very careful about their next steps.
If you do this wrong you will hand Trump all the reasons / excuses he needs to enact martial law (and have support for that) and then say bye bye to term limit. You need to think about the next 20 years, about a Trump dynasty etc.
Why would there have to be a point? It's possible there is no architect and thus no point. It could all be random chaos colliding into this weird situation, and we're just particles floating along in the maelstrom.
To come the question of why should you care, well you can choose pleasures or pain in your time on this planet. Pain is the default if you make no choice.
Manipulative headline. It's not holding up anything as much as people are trying to make sure they can still feed their families in the face of the insatiable corporate hunger for cost cutting to yield ever more profits.
I spent some time in Switzerland, and there was a chocolate chateau in Interlaken which sold these individually wrapped chocolate cubes which broke up and melted in your mouth.
It's very good I live very far away from that place now.
I think you hate me way too much for nothing, and you don't know me.
If this is how you engage in dialog with someone you don't know at all you will never build a better world like you claim to want.
