I used to be the type to want to consider a variety of opinions and play devil’s advocate. The last decade has radicalized me into being much more staunchly progressive. Stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.

It’s an easy trap to fall into if you’re a generally open minded person I think. I didn’t want to follow the herd, and I didn’t want to take things at face value. Those aren’t bad ideals, but when living in a corrupt and dishonest world it basically means giving too much space to people who aren’t worth it.
