It's not a simple disagreement.
13 hours ago
The following journal is going to upset a lot of people, but i have some thoughts.
I want to start by saying I don’t condone the murder of my political opponents, but I’m not going to mourn the death of Charlie Kirk and I won’t be condemning the celebrations of it and I have my reasons.
I also won’t be celebrating his killer either. There will be tangents.
I have something I want to get off my chest. I’m getting really sick and tired of people boiling political discourse down to “just opinions”. This is NOT simple disagreement. A simple disagreement is when you are debating whether you prefer sausage on a pizza or peperoni. Debating if transgender people should exist, that they not be tossed into asylums is NOT simple disagreement.
Imagine being a trans person having to debate whether or not you should be locked up. Imagine being a person of color having to do the same. Imagine a lunatic slashes the throat of a innocent stranger and having yourself be lumped in with the lunatic. You are all the problem. You could condemn such a vile act, but you are part of the lunatics race and am responsible for the lunatic.
Marginalized people mind their own business doing nothing remotely morally objectionable are flashbanged by the same grenade. And after this guy’s death, the right will do everything in it’s power to target people minding their own damn business and trying to survive through the day because they are angry by statistics. Doesn’t matter if those stats are true or not, they are angry as a individual not white or straight, YOU are the problem.
You draw porn, they hate that. You use welfare just to survive, they hate that too. You want to be your true self and dress and act the way you want and they hate you. All because you just so happen to be a part of the same group of a individual that hurt them. Or worse, you’re not living the way their god demands you to live.
I get it, I use to be a centrist, you guys know that. I would always try to see the issues as a both sides thing. Actually, I was worse . . . I grew to be a bitter hyper conservative due to the influences around me and all the people who would validate my stupid stupid opinions. I use to have a crisis of thought. I see crime statistics and ask myself if I should hate my own race. The reality of course is that didn’t really matter. In conservative eyes, if you’re anything but a white male, you’re a born sinner. It’s wild to me people who are lgbt and people of color will willingly lean on a side that would just so easily turn on them.
I could understand having issues with the left. The left has issues, but why would you trade one wrong for a side that is even worse? I don’t really get the thinking at all. During my time trying to be that, all I could think about is all the self-loathing apparently I must feel for myself. You’d be surprised how often I ended up in those groups and had to performatively hate what I am all the while the same group condemns everything I stand for. I’m just a sick person in that eyes in need of a conversion, but of course, I cant change my skin color so it didn’t really matter what I do because in the end, they’ll turn on me.
Honestly it’s wild to me people immediately go conservative because some feminist said their favorite video game is sexist. I came to a conclusion that I don’t have to agree with everything someone on the left says even If I’m on the same side. Its funny how easy that was.
People will destroy everyone around them so their video games aren’t woke. That’s the insanity of it all. Wokeness, a term I thought I got but now i don’t anymore. If you ask any of the people shouting to the rooftops about woke this or that, you’ll get a myriad of answers. I’ve gotten both reasonable and unreasonable answers. Like did you know, wokeness has been a problem sense the 90s because something something civil rights, something something affirmative action?
And you notice, the grifters, the ones who make a assload of videos about what is and isn’t woke? Oh man, there’s a lot of infighting about that. I personally don’t care anymore about it.
But you know, even if I did in my own way of what I thought it meant, doesn’t mean the conclusion is that certain groups of people must be stripped of their rights. I just hated bad writing. I just never liked bad writing or bad art in general. Not because there’s diversity of any kind, forced or otherwise. Actually it’s a good thing there’s POC and LGBT people in media. We live in a time that we can have that and there’s no executive being all antsy about it’s inclusion. Maybe that game is bad because it’s bad art and not because the main character is trans.
I don’t know where I’m going with this anymore. I have a adhd brain and it’s all over the place as I process the trajectory of my own country. To wrap around to my point, its not a difference of opinion if you have to debate your living existence. People aren’t angry because they have to debate whatever color of car they like. They’re watching their rights in real time be stripped away and asshats are saying “why are you mad at a disagreement? You should debate me why your rights shouldn't be stripped away”.
We’ve had this asshat in office and every person who voted for him tries to convince me it’s a good thing he’s there and not the other asshat. Honestly, it frustrates me that people will vote blue/red no matter who instead of collectively going “Hey, maybe we should stop voting asshats into office”. Yeah, I’m centrist on this specific point because it floors me how the right wing will mock those saying “Vote blue no matter who” when they do the same but red. So much hypocrisy.
In any case, I wonder how that Trump presidency has been doing. Seems like its been doing pretty fucking shitty. I can’t wait for my medical benefits to be pulled because I’m not working the proper kind of job.
I really don’t know where this journal is going. The right now says they’re going to be in office forever. I can’t wait because I’m going to be resisting till I’m jailed. I guess this is the world some people want because they hate me and people like me. But they are the victims and I’m wrong if I don’t want to be on the fascist side.

I do certainly agree. This would be like if the Nazis forced the Jewish people they abducted to justify why they should not be put into the ovens / gas chambers. The other side, on a fundamental level, does not value your existence or even see the fact you are still breathing as anything but a negative. They will never agree you deserve to live if you are in one of the groups they hate, much less that you are a positive contribution.
