I hate it. I have always tried to foster healthy skepticism, but in the past couple of decades, I have become cynical.
My cynicism wouldn’t be so oppressive to me if it occasionally worked out the opposite way, but...that rarely happens.
“The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven’t got it.”
George Bernard Shaw
(Yeah, I know he was a fascist progressive)
“Moderates” caved, no need to apologize for being cynical
Regarding government, I’ve found I’ve never been disappointed when I assumed the worst, assume it is all lies.
