It's kinda sad that the only way to prevent online radicalization is people living a healthy life. Like, how do you help someone who wasn't raised with empathy and love? How do you explain to someone that they should be a nice person? I've read a little bit on the topic, but personally I believe you can't help someone with extreme stances unless it's in a personal setting. And most of the time that situation would be dangerous for most people. The whole discussion of whether true evil exists and the cycle of exploitation of mental illness is just so fascinating to me, is it really so easy to cross that line and harm the world around you? We all think we're good people, but we do bad things because they're convient and satisfying to us. We deem people worthy of pain, so we feel justified in harming them. But what do we judge people for, really? A mistake that doesn't harm us? A choice that inconveniences us for a day? When I look back at my life, all the bad people were just people with a different attitude and the people who actually did relatively bad things were pressured by friends who only saw them as tools of entertainment (or mental illness).
I guess this is more of a random thought, but judging other people's behaviour and subsequently realizing the bad things I've done in the past in the name of justice or revenge does worry me a bit. I feel like my actions are justified, but I can't say I behave the same way kind and thoughtful people do. I tend to choose superiority due to average intellect over empathetic kindness way too often and I don't really know how to deal with my inner demons. All I know is that I can't make other people responsible for my feelings, and that people telling you how to feel or who to hate are just using you as a tool for their own selfish goals.
I just hope in the future I can do better and encourage a more healthy environment myself. I'm just so tired of seeing the encouragement of hate and dislike in my life. A toxic environment will make you toxic, you yourself need to decide when to clean off. I wish I could help other people, but I know I have to work on myself first. It's scary.

My last day with her will be next sunday. She's the reason I've stayed sane for the past few months because she's so calm, reasonable and has a good sense of humour compared to my actual manager. The atmosphere is so good around my assistant manager and I'm truly going to miss these moments
