no one outside my immediate circle has liked a single thing i& #39;ve posted in a week lol idek why i have this acct anymore (and 1 person even unfollowed!)
i like art i guess but im not gonna pipe up anymore it& #39;s frustrating to see bad takes but i& #39;ll see more the more i interact and it& #39;s not like anyone on here cares abt my opinion anyway lol im p sure u guys think im a nazi or nazbol at this point (and im super not)
i somehow doubt anyone following me is going to read either of my pieces when they& #39;re finished, which i can& #39;t lie, does sting on a personal level considering i have worked pretty hard on them and i take pride in my writing and my analysis, but it& #39;s also like.
i feel like no one wants an actual discussion on politics where ppl disagree with with each other, they just like retweeting incredibly manipulative hot takes from strangers more than they like talking abt this stuff w ppl in their actual lives
it reminds me of a joke i saw somewhere. "you got & #39;community organizer& #39; in your bio but you won& #39;t confront your roommate about leaving his dishes in the sink." that& #39;s everyone these days lol. that was basically me when my roommate moved in her pedo boyfriend lmao
it& #39;s all a clout game and i was into socialism before it got you clout. i was wayyyy more attention-seeking when i started, so i liked the negative attention, but im more or less recovered from my childhood trauma at this point so i dont really need it.
but i still wanna talk abt stuff? like, this is my primary special interest, and the world& #39;s still turning. at times ive unhealthily obsessed over it, but strangely enough, corona has made me significantly less obsessive, after the initial shock at least.
we still have a responsibility to build a better future and we can& #39;t do that unless we talk abt it w ppl we actually know, rather than not ever discussing it but just regurgitating someone else& #39;s SEO-driven hot takes and ignoring any negative reaction they bring on themselves.
and we have to talk abt the points we disagree on too, not to be contrarians but to understand what exactly ppl want from the world. if we all just pretend like we agree with each other, esp when information is shared in such an individualistic way, nothing will get better.
and you will also end up resenting your friends! it happened that way to me, on both ends. tho when i was dishing it out the consequences were much less severe than when i received it cuz you know. nearly homeless and all that, but still i have my own regrets too.
