I feel like I'm having another allergic reaction to my own alleged culture. Just keep running into things-- and people-- that make me feel low-grade icky about everything.
I'm so fucking tired of people picking on the things that I love. I thought I was done with this shit after the first-gen troll farms fell apart.
But nope, here they are, right down to an article by some steely-eyed leftist shithead who's determined furry transhumanism is "narcissism" because he vaguely read somewhere Extropians are both libertarians and transhumans, and Libertarian Things Are Selfish, plus a healthy dose of "the only reason someone would want to engage in self-expression is because they think they're the center of the universe."
Toxic. Fucking toxic, right on top of a bunch of uniquely cruel and petty-minded TERFery, and dealing with My Dear Allies getting a basic political fact wrong*. And I don't have time to shovel it out today. And I don't have time to sit around feeling like my life is on the defensive.
All I can do to reassure myself is remember that our very presence INFURIATES these people. They walk around with the same kind of ennui and low-grade irritation every day just because we do our thing. That feels pretty good honestly, because increasingly these are people I WANT to be unhappy. >_<
* Trump CAN invoke executive privilege as an ex-president. There was precedent set in 2001. The leftists confidently knee-jerking that he can't are not 100% wrong but yeah it's about 80%. >___<

I'm just so tired. I felt like these topics were about to be fucking settled and people would move the fuck on, but here I am, ready to pull out defenses of lifestyle furry and gender transition I wrote in '05 for use against edgy hipsters and apply it to a professional journalist.
I hate 2021 so fucking much. Good thing tigers can run perfectly well on hate for years at a time. 🐯

@zebratron2084 similar. I mean antisemitism is always there, it never ends, but as a (long term but half assed) ally I thought the 2020s’ big issues about African-Americans *would* be things like teaching CRT in schools, rather than the related “it is not cool that the pigs just off people in the streets, no questions asked”. See also “as a long term half assed environmentalist.” All of this could be fixed at lower cost and for greater profit BUT.

And now 4 Non Blondes is trending and I just don't feel like there's a place for me on this planet anymore. :)
