#and the fact that so many fma fans dismiss it for really superficial reasons feels like a huge red flag to me

Every time I see yet another post blaming that it's because of these people that we have Trump as president, no, it's because of these people, those people, that people, and all of them need to immediately get out of my life and never talk to me again...

And all I can think of is my favorite quote from Ed in Conqueror of Shamballa:

"Brother, is all of this... my fault? Why is it all turning out this way? I just... I wanted...." "I know, Al. You were just trying to bring me back home again. For whatever reason, Wrath wanted to help, that sacrifice was his choice. The other Al wanted to get me home too and feel like he did something meaningful. And Noah wanted a place to belong. We all had our excuses, and they seemed right to us. And no one thought it would lead to suffering like this. I know that. None of us were looking to start a war. But still, a war is what we got, so all of us take the blame. Do you understand? That's why we have to make it right and defend this world as long as we're alive. We can't keep living like our own dreams are all that matter, okay?"

It's all our fault. All of us. It's time we stop pointing fingers and start rolling up our sleeves.
