I am going to die thanks to Republicans and probably soon. If I don't die in a hate crime, at a protest, or thanks to some variety of preventable disease, I can still die in a shooting, driven to homelessness, as fallout from climate change, or at the very least because healthcare is unaffordable.
My family history of heart disease is a similar long term risk compared to how THEY are going to do me in, one way or another. It's the unimportant little person version of how King and X knew damn well they were going to die.

I'm triggered and I KNOW it, which is not unreasonable for having Reagan's America back but now infinitely more offensive and as a speedrun.
Not only when I tally up the recent past (eg, today's the first day I've colored art in a month), but also I think things like "they are bullies, so I know EXACTLY what they are doing; they are pushing until someone reacts violently so that they can beat heads AND be self righteous about how they're the reasonable good people."
There is no social contract anymore, you're still supposed to be a good little kike/good little faggot/whatever and comply with rules and regulations which apply to YOU but not, never, the GOOD VALUED PEOPLE.
The cream always rises to the top. We know because the people who claim to be the cream tell us so while they're abusing us.
oh yeah he bites a scorpion in half BIG DEAL FENNEC FOXES DO THAT ALL THE TIME and they're cuter than The Rock oiled up c. 2001 although to be fair The Rock doesn't make noises which are as obnoxious #iiiiiiii #EEEEEEEEE
corollary; we're surrounded by and live in a place run by people who are not in fact all that and a bag of chips, but who have been told that or treated that way so frequently they sincerely believe they're fantastic omnicompetent people who deserve better than what's already pretty good.
logically, the opposite is true, where a not especially terrible person can be completely wrecked through indoctrination.

now starting to see it better;
trying to grow up with undiagnosed ADHD and trauma means feeling terrible when I don't understand, get bored with dumb shit important to the rest of the world, or am irritable. This opens me up to
being scolded or emotionally abused, especially if there's just seemingly no break, especially because that's a lot more constant if I don't really have any sense of a long term, which becomes
sincerely believing at some big underlying level that I'm bad or flawed. And if I'm constantly braced for *some* sort of emotional attack, such that I don't have resources to step back or challenge my idea, if I'm triggered fairly often (still no good sense of a long term), and have that as an underlying assumption
of course I'm going to go through life thinking I'm flawed, a fuck up, and that I'm waiting for the next something terrible to happen.
also, a short video about tank treads mentioned the FLANGE on "Little Willie." somehow that reminded me this exists
