the issue is you thought people were better than they are. they aren’t.
I am very cynical, but my hope is that we can collectively improve our situation. I pull my hair out when people keep playing their tribal games. All they have to do is reason it out.
They don’t even see the connection between high property taxes and their militarized local police forces that gets the new shiny stuff each year.
The commercial-grade appliances at different kitchens where I have worked have needed repair calls, sometimes frequently with dish machines.
Metal geared power transmission can be designed with shear pins for a simple and cheap failure mode. Plastic is trash. Want quiet? Then use a gear profile other than straight.
The power of self-deception is incredible

hate and propaganda has you trembling in fear
I often give the benefit of the doubt towards minorities. My internal hope is that since they are a minority, they surely have experienced bigotry, reflected on it as victims, and rejected that spirit.
That mentality of mine has been completely shattered over the last couple years. The majority of the immigrants I have known have floored me with their bigotry towards so many others. It has made me curious: Are they attracted to that part of our culture? Is this the predominant spirit of the world? What the hell does it mean?
Naturalized citizens can vote. First generations can vote, and children mostly align with their parents’ beliefs.
I am not anti-immigration. At all. I am against intolerance. I am against anyone who would abuse a country’s asylum system, because it will lead to end of such lifelines.
I’m becoming more curious about whether there are biases in the type of person who chooses to immigrate (excluding refugees) to the US.
