(no subject)
I can't bother to put the context in where this is funny. Roll with it if you can.
Ever want to just go up to someone who's complaining about being or having been oppressed or abused and telling them that that's the best they can probably look forward to from the world? You know, just try to shatter their little fragile psyche just for the fuck of it?
I feel like saying "You're maligned, belittled, taken advantage of, prejudged, and treated as less than a person because of physical traits outside of your immediate control that have no impact on the validity of yourself or your stance? Shit, welcome to the human race, glad you could join us."
No fucking shit you get treated like shit by other people. That's LIFE. WAKE THE FUCK UP. Trust me, nobody is ready to hand you flowers and candy and then suddenly deciding not to because you have a vagina or your skin is a certain shade. Okay, well that's a lie, there are those people, but you know what, they'd deny you those trinkets for any convenient reason! They're fuckheads! That's what fuckheads do! Take a deep breath, realize they're fuckheads, and structure your next few minutes accordingly. People shoot each other daily over things their imaginary friend said in a mistranslation of a collection of short stories that stopped being relevant when 99% of the human race realized shitting in our own food bowl is not a perfectly valid way to live, so do you really fucking think it matters the bullshit reasoning someone will use when denying you a job or a raise or a vote? No. If it wasn't that they'd be coming up with shit about how your hair is too straight to be natural.
Okay, fine, you like the battle. You think you can redeem humanity by shouting loudly enough, good for you I hope you don't lose that little ray of hopeless sunshiny hope, etc. etc. etc. But stop getting in MY face because I'm not getting enraged or engaged with you. It's not my fight, I don't have to fight it. I listen to you because you're interesting and I argue with you because I (personally) am a contrary asshole who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. I will continue to do so and I will continue to poke holes in your arguments because really, I think you're trying to build a sandbag wall to keep the flooding river out of your houseboat. You built the house there, or you were born there. Luck or stupidity or both put you there, and you're going to stubbornly keep trying to win at a battle you may not really have to fight.
Oh yeah Happy New Year.
