oh god, NO, it doesn't make sense to be building a fucking nuclear bomb shelter in fucking Waterloo because I'm afraid of Trump. That is time and energy that is wasted, and if there is genuinely a threat, that means I've just made the threat more dangerous.

Even when your heart is in the right place, even when you are motivated by genuine threats, you can still make things worse by being stupid and getting manipulated. And even if the threat is real, it doesn't mean people aren't taking advantage of it to manipulate us into doing things that are not in our own self-interest.

Yea bomb shelter is exterme and useless. Sorry I didn't mention that. I assumed it was sarcasm. Silly me.

Don't bother focusing on the things you really can accomplish though. That would be dumb.
