The other thing about this shit is what rad libs require you to do in order to stop harassing you is confess all your trauma to them, all the details of your personal situation, how you “qualify.” No one should be cornered into that. https://twitter.com/gemmaparadisexo/status/1319501594895937536">https://twitter.com/gemmapara...
They don’t actually care about shit, they just use the language of “social justice” to carry out their petty vendettas.
I pretty much always think it’s correct (of me) to try to be extremely patient with people but this shit inevitable gets into the territory of abuse in which case it’s no longer correct & the correct thing is to bounce and try to get them to leave u alone
They’ve been brainwashed into an individualist outlook so can’t contextualize anything, so it’s all personal, and combine that w how alienated this shit makes us + lack of education about managing distress and you get these explosive situations
And obv u also get these liberal arguments that someone’s politics = their consumer choices
And you get this wild universalization of feelings and centering of self like “you’re a class enemy because you make slightly more money than me,” “I feel confused by what you say so you’re intentionally making people feel stupid,” “I feel uglier than you so you have an (cont)
easier time in the world,” etc. Any hurt caused to them on a personal level = some great injustice
This level of intense self focus is what we’re all taught and it makes sense that people see things this way but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a real cruelty to it, even if it is just confusion
So many of us can’t imagine anything other than existing in this state of constant competition with each other.
It’s also kinda darkly funny that people do these “woke” versions of standard high school cruelty
