If your ideas are constantly evolving, being liked for your opinions can feel just as superficial as people wanting to be around you for your looks because you know they’re likely to change.
If your main issue with an obviously maladjusted, resentful, and proudly hate-filled movement is that they’re now cruel to you instead of everyone else, regardless of how alienated you feel, you’ve found your people.
Online movements fracture when people are too slow to see that shared opinions aren’t the same as shared values.
A symptom of Twitter psychosis is attracting a large audience, turning into an extremist, and believing that anyone who tries to rein you in is jealous instead of stopping you from disgracing yourself.
Many who only have same-sex relationships don’t experience a lack of sexual attraction for the opposite sex. Instead they experience a discomfort/unwillingness to engage in the role they’re expected to perform with the opposite sex.
You stop hiding behind ironic detachment when you realise your reasons for doing so are way more ‘cringe’ than speaking earnestly.
People are less susceptible to audience capture if they realise that being adored for some opinions can feel just as hollow as being dismissed for them. Or they've learned how restrictive popularity can be from their youth.
If someone calls you a 'normie' what they’re usually saying is you don’t romanticise your discontent and aren’t addicted to a fringe and unhinged corner of the internet.
People who are insightful yet cruel are annoying because they let the anger of being misunderstood overtake their ability to communicate without mockery and insult, leaving them unheard by those who most desperately need to listen.
When you’re disaffected, it’s easy to come across online communities that feels like a breath of fresh air, but when you breathe it in for too long you realise its just another harmful gas masquerading as oxygen.

If we were all on trial for our thoughts, we would all be hanged -Margaret Atwood
A therapist needs to publish a book called; Thoughts Most People Think Are Unusual But Are Actually Very Common, so we can all get over the idea that we are uniquely broken.
Every idea you outgrow is a lesson in why it’s wise to remain open to the possibility that you might be wrong.
It’s easier to recognise that you have subscribed to a destructive worldview than it is to realise that you’ve shifted to another corrosive outlook to overcompensate for your former beliefs.
If you can’t discuss an issue or idea without using online catchphrases and slogans, they are not your ideas.
The saddest part about talking to people who treat their identity as their most important feature is how it makes them overlook the vast majority of what actually makes them interesting.

The problem with a culture that insists everything is empowerment and self-expression and being our authentic selves is that nothing can be called vanity anymore. We've lost the words for self-obsession.
It’s a cruel trick of modern life to convince us that everyone cares what we’re doing, all the time; that everyone is deeply invested in how we live and how we identify and how we feel. Seriously believing that is enough to make anyone mentally ill. freyaindia.co.uk/p/you-dont-nee…
@Ayishat_Akanbi They might like that you welcome being wrong, you are hard on n your opinions and that you evolve and change them when you encounter new information that challenges them 😉
@Ayishat_Akanbi You may find respite in knowing that the hatred you receive is just as superficial.
darkly funny to get messages from women saying "no women are NOT cliquey and bitchy" who then use cliquey and bitchy aggression to try and punish me. Followed swiftly by men saying "no Dworkin WAS a fat ugly dyke and I AM entitled to access porn whenever I want." Not a shred of…
In all seriousness I do think that men and women are drawn to different types of sin. And telling a story in which your sex is the eternal hero/victim is a surefire way to excuse terrible behaviour in yourself.
You may disagree that this is the most romantic love song ever written but is it really worth fighting me over
Healthy individualism is: • Knowing your values • Using boundaries to honor those values • Trusting yourself to know better for yourself than strangers • Using courage to stand by your values • Believing in every individual’s right to control their own life—including yours
Best of Rev1: Higher education doesn't always guarantee wisdom. Don't let degrees fool you– some just graduate with a Ph.D. in self-deception. Keep your mind sharp, question the narrative, and trust your instincts.

Like seriously I have to imagine a racist frat bro intern was like “let’s tell them to call it a feather alert and see what happens!” and then he slipped “feather alert” into a PowerPoint and the boss was like “ah yes great idea” and then the practical joke congealed into reality
Serious question: Are any people of color actually okay with calling it an “ebony alert” for missing black people and a “feather alert” for native people? I am programmed to hate this kind of shit but is ANYONE okay with this? Does anyone think this is NOT offensive/racist?
This comment directed at @Tyler_A_Harper is the definition of progressive racism, i.e one’s physical characteristics (when it comes to so-called black people) determine what one can/ought think.
@notcapnamerica Is it only me that notices that all the anti-woke black guys are white passing with noses you'd see on Scottish noblemen?
this is actually a very interesting and insightful take. as a woman who’s been in a lot of spaces with other women & men (i.e. college campuses, the workplace), there is definitely a ritualistic and performative aspect to an already heavily sexually charged landscape. if a…
Many who only have same-sex relationships don’t experience a lack of sexual attraction for the opposite sex. Instead they experience a discomfort/unwillingness to engage in the role they’re expected to perform with the opposite sex.
@Ayishat_Akanbi True. In your OP you specified sexual attraction, so I was going off of that
@Ayishat_Akanbi This explains why I feel lesbians and I have always had an affinity. They like my gender neutrality.
