If it is ridiculous, why is most of the world behaving that way? I’m genuinely confused on the night and day difference between this thread and the world around me.
okay. look. you are either saying you don't understand how something that's normalized can be bad or you're just so goddamn dense that you're about to rip spacetime a new asshole. racism is normalized but it's bad. sexism is normalized but it's bad. the united states massacring foreign civilians for their country's resources is normalized but bad. and yes, covid is now also - say it with me - normalized, but still bad.
christ alive.
If racism or sexism is normal or accepted where you are, we are truly in different worlds.
That aside, look, it’s clear that your walkway in life is vastly different than mine right now and I feel that disputing each others norms is fruitless and impossible.
I appreciate your perspective.
we very literally are not. you just don't notice these things because they plainly don't impact you. you don't care because it's not your problem. you are exactly as much an impediment to a better world as any given nazi, and i wish you the same fate i wish them.
