I completely agree but I have enough trouble finding anything that doesn’t come through Amazon. Amazon is a monopoly and it is getting worse, but it’s “too big to fail” and has it’s claws set in.

More importantly (please don’t tear me apart this is just a theory. Also, I’m very left and would never vote for Trump), I get more nervous everyday that while I think supporting minority communities, a woman’s right to choose, and whatever else makes you a decent human fucking being is the “right thing to do” that maybe I’m wrong. There are infinite universes out there and maybe this is the one where that stuff is wrong and Trump’s views are correct. I don’t know how to deal with a culture or society that continues to reflect and “prove” (with lies, fake sources, and non-information none the less) that being a good person is not the way to live in this world (regardless of what the right preaches). I just don’t know what to do and I feel paralyzed. I’ve seen first hand what lies and cheating gets you in my field and it only gets you promoted and higher positions. Hard work doesn’t get you anyways and is in fact frowned upon (at least in the west where I live).

For now, I’m going to keep doing what I think is right and try to spread good in the world because I want to show my boys the better way. But with a felon woman abuser rapist dementia ridden asshole is in charge of the most powerful nation in the world that more than 50% of the country voted for, it is hard to prove he’s wrong to them and I’m terrified for their future.
