That's nice, but have you considered HATE?
- I've mostly seen that as an excuse to go kill climate refugees rather than a mechanism to motivate people to limit the damage.
  
  History is full of revolutionaries that hated their oppressors.
- Ngl, I legitimately hate Republican political leaders (not the regular folks, just their political leaders). So, yes, yes, I have. And it's absolutely useless and self-defeating.
  
  It's only useless if you don't use it~
