I figured we had much in common, my family didn't just have land, my father was a general contractor, I have worked with concrete, wood, metal and heavy equipment. I never was very good at electrical or according to my father using a level, lol.
Even when my life was hard, working fields, tossing hay, working through whatever weather, I knew the value of hard work and dedication. The attitude was let's get this done quickly because it's going to suck, get it over and move onto something else. I knew even at a young age that learning skills was part of growing up and never stopping was how to succeed in life.
Those life lessons served me well. The military has its ups and downs but also taught me that people from anywhere could make it as long as they didn't quit. I was shocked when people quit the first day at jump school, quitting never occurred to me. It wasn't any harder than farm work, started later and the weather was better. Everything else I faced, I used the same technique, I learned as a young man, this is going to suck, let's do it quickly.
I see no hope for the trolls, they will never master life because they have already quit on it.
The hard truth is there are no nonviolent protestors, zero. Everyone still in the streets tend to fall into one of two groups: paid agitators or true believers, both groups know ICE will continue to operate even with them in the way. Resisting law enforcement is not a protest, it never was. It is a crime and when you add the goal of forcing political change through acts of violence it is also an insurrection.
It might be all he has, without friends and a supportive family hanging out on imgflip and spewing hatred fits a lot of the trolls. I will withhold judgement in his case, but it does seem to fit.
One truth of all the trolls is they have no life experiences or mentors. We are both combat vets, we have seen the true good vs evil in action, we have had jobs, families, success and failures in life. All they have is hate, it is who they are and it will eat away at them.
