81. I have given up on them.
Thu Nov 7, 2024, 12:47 PM
Nov 2024

I basically had before, but now it is complete. Not only do they not care about us, they will cheer if we are hunted down. They cannot be helped, whether they hate, have been brainwashed or are just ignorant. I do not want to interact with them or have anything to do with them. They are hateful and hate eats away at your soul. I have decided the less I have to do with them, the better it is for me.
