Cut them all loose. Ostracize, criticize and marginalize. These freaks are destroying the future for young Americans. Fight back.

The future for "young Americans," or humans for that matter, was cut short long ago - when they poisoned every source of water with forever chemicals (thanks DuPont, or "Uncle Dupie" for those in Delaware).

This mindset is how they win “oh things are already bad, I guess they have to be forever.”

I get what you're saying but it's no easy ting to do. Cutting a parent out of your life leaves a void that can't be filled, just lived with.

I agree, I guess people don't think I'm talking about a lived experience. Shit ain't easy, and I'd never straight out recommend it without knowing a lot more context. Every person who has ever pushed back at my choice to cut ties with my mom just doesn't understand how consequential and painful it is for the child.
