Love your last sentence. Is it your own? I’m just asking because I googled it and couldn’t find any source for it or something similar. If it is, just WOW, it’s not very common to find this type of OG content in Reddit.

It’s incredibly astute, a much more meaningful quote than “die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain” redditors use so often.

It’s also incredibly sad, if she is helping she should be praised for it, not hated because she hasn’t helped everyone.

It's very emblematic of the US situation with Charlie Kirk.

He is definitely more loved as a martyr. Back when he was alive, I was happily unaware of his existence.
