Having withdrawals from political conflict (lemmings.world)

As a leftist I have been arguing with anyone on the right to some unhealthy degree. Seems like either the platforms I do use are just shrinking or the right side of the political spectrum aren't married to anything and pretty dispassionate now. I can attach trump but they aren't going to defend trump.

I would ignore anyone that would agree with me politically in the past, like they're cool, it's just wasn't the same rush you get when destroy someone's core beliefs you disagree politically

Recently I have been helping people that are political closer to me and getting out more. I'm not going to start conflict with them, because I'm on my journey of solidarity and I want to try working with people. It's been rewarding in a different sense, seeing a real live person in front of you be greatful or supportive is awesome, but it isn't the high as seeing someone someone's core beliefs just get crushed.

Like any addict, you have a disease. Stay on the straight and narrow, I believe in you.

Yeah I'm kinda being put on this path. I forgot to note that I feel like the group I'm helping isn't doing enough things in general, but it's also the holidays
