A silver lining is at least you have a target. I used to get into lengthy arguments on reddit with bots before I knew they were even bots.

It's the same thing, utterly futile like pissing in the ocean, and only serves to piss you off. The best thing that happened to me was figuring out that politics is all smoke and mirrors, because I was in that same trap. Screaming at the abyss, trying to effect change when nobody was listening. It just leaves you angry.
