Man, I don't know. I just feel like everywhere I look these days everybody and their dumbass little sister is pretending that their emotions are more important than anything else. Like, ya know what I really hate? Really really fucking hate? It's early in the morning, I'm going to work, and some dude on the train is blasting shitty trap music out of his crap phone speaker. It's never good music, it's always the most abrasive shit this person can think of. Thank god I'm not in charge of anything because I'd make it my personal mission to skin every single one of these people alive in public.
But see that's the thing right, who gives a fuck about petty shit I hate? I use this ridiculous example because nobody wants to hear about my actual insecurities. But that's the other thing, fuck my insecurities, that's why they're my insecurities. And so much of this idpol crap comes down to just individuals blowing a gasket the moment anybody around them says or does anything they even slightly disagree with, because they are legitimately delusional enough to think everything in this world comes down to whether or not they feel good about themselves or not. Like for christs sake, do I think trans people don't deserve rights? Fuck no, man! I don't give a fuck! Who the hell am I to tell anybody how to live? But it's the god damn narcissism that kills me. The constant, unceasing, insistence that your emotions take precedence over everything. Somewhere along the line people started confusing personal happiness with political and economic oppression, and it's fucking stupid. And stupidity is whatever, everybody's a bit of a fucking idiot, myself included. But why, on god's green earth, is this the central point of every single political argument in the US? That's all we fucking talk about anymore.
Like c'mon, I've read these threads, nobody I saw on r/antiwork responded to this by saying "trans people aren't people and they don't deserve to be treated like people". Nobody. They said "shut the fuck up about your gender and apologize, nobody cares about your genitals" however, but that's enough to be a nazi to these people. Like motherfucker you live your life in a way most people just don't fucking understand, accept that you're gonna have to put up with others not "getting it" and make an honest effort to meet the rest of us halfway for a greater good.
But nope, all that matters is if you make me feel important and loved. Because we all need to like each other always, unless you're a person I personally don't like, then kill yourself.
