If everyone around you disagrees with you, maybe it's time to be open to the posibility that you are wrong?

Your boos mean nothing; I've seen what makes you cheer

I learned this from a friend of mine: If a crowd of people tells you that you’re blind drunk, perhaps consider that you might actually be.

Same principle. Happy to see someone pushing it out there.

give it time and you'll see how reality makes us all aware

everyone else has work to do to put food on the table; we can't respond as quickly.

Nah, I base my opinion around the evidence. If the consensus of the US and Western Europe was what drove my opinion, I'd have been in favor of killing Gaddafi, invading Iraq, torturing Asians in Vietnam, bombing Iran, and all other sorts of monstrous shit.

I'll wait for y'all to pretend you were always on the fence or against but simultaneously there was no way of knowing, since only the tankies were saying it and we know we can't trust those.
