Things I've noticed happen in the general vicinity of my posts:
- Fundie nutjobs reduced to curling up in a little ball, plugging their ears, and spewing either contentless religious copypasta (Freeman) or barely-coherent amateur apologia (Bot).
- The Shitey Uzzard degenerating into mudslinging and pretending (badly) not to care when defeated in arguments...every single one of them.
- Insecure manchildren accusing me of being a transsexual (some random AC) on one hand, and on the other, an actual transwoman accusing me of being a TERF (Kurenai).
- Creeps like VLM, KHallow, JMorris, Entropy, and all their kind simply giving the hell up and abandoning ship when faced with a proper down-smacking for their fallacious sociopathy.
When you have people on the fringes everywhere angry with you, each of them accusing you of the precise opposite on the spectrum they hate, you must be doing something right. In all my time here, I've never gone in for trolling, deception, or shitposting. I've always stood for what's right, and took the fight to those who would try to spread their noetic poisons, fighting it everywhere it appears for the sake of anyone unfortunate enough to encounter it, knowing full well the originators of such poison are by their own choice irredeemable, certainly so in this lifetime.
And my approach drives them nuttier than squirrel vomit.
Well boo fucking hoo. When someone on here tells me I'm bitchy or angry, I just laugh, because what they really mean is "you're making me uncomfortable by exposing my bullshit in such direct, uncompromising, profanity-laced ways." It's pretty obvious the accusations of being a transsexual come from sheltered, misogynist little manchildren who can't handle actual women speaking the plain, unvarnished truth to them, because they have so little truck with the opposite sex they've never seen it in the real world before. No, this insult to their manly honor cannot stand! ONLY another man could POSSIBLY have the balls, literal balls, to stand up to them! (And of course the kind of person who'd make this argument lumps MtFs under the heading of "man." I don't, though I do draw an important distinction between transwomen and cisgender women because, frankly, they are never going to know what it is to have a period or risk being pregnant).
Time to put on your big-boy undies and join the adult world! The toughest people I know are all women, including my own mother and some of the nurses at work. I'm a marshmallow compared to them.
And I don't regret anything, as painful as it's been sometimes. Am I a "nice girl?" No, and haven't been for several years, and you know what? It's better this way. "Nice girls" get used and taken advantage of and thrown away and never have their needs met. "Nice girls" are the permanent victims of tone trolling by people too frightened or too weak to deal with them as the full human beings they are. In this place, at this time, as this site sinks further and further into RWNJ decay, all it means is I'll fight all the harder.
What I hope this does is encourage the people on here who still seek the light to defend it. Hit back. We're seeing on a number of scales, from the President's capitulation on his stupid bullshit shutdown right down to the examples at the head of this post, that the sociopaths are like any bully: weak, cowardly, amoral types who don't expect and can't handle sustained, principled pushback. Part of it is that evil simply can't comprehend good, but mostly it comes down to how bullies work and have always worked. Anyone who wants to join me in fighting the good fight, please do: we've seen that it works.

The ever present problem of power and corruption. I've heard the complaints from conservatives, I've heard and seen such stories. Inefficiency sucks, lazy bastards sitting around while others do the work SUCKS.
However, that is a human problem. There will always be such people. All we can do is try our best, and try and put good people into management. When your anger over inefficiency becomes a political platform you end up crusading against innocent people because a spreadsheet can't handle human existence.
We need transparency in government so we can find the sources of corruption and wasted resources, but we also need a supportive humane approach.
A massive part of the problem is our economic system. It has grown and adapted over the years, but the fundamental idea remains that a limited AND infinite resource has massive control over our lives. Money is a human construct and is manipulated in order to control humans. I'm not sure how we can grow beyond it, but if we're talking politics then
Between liberals and conservatives there is WAY more common ground than people are used to. Race is THE dividing issue. Gender is next. Then comes all the bullshit we usually argue about.
Liberals need conservatives to keep them safe, conservatives need liberals to find better futures. We will get there together, and contrary to popular media we are actually slowly getting there, but the propaganda is constantly trying to keep people divided by pushing bullshit that sounds so very exciting. We would have plenty of time to yell at each other over the internet if it wasn't for madmen ACTUALLY FUCKING CONTEMPLATING nuclear annihilation over economic and political systems.
The plebeians are being manipulated by the patricians, age old game taken to STUPID fucking levels. We are at the point where millions of people are believing lies and turning their best allies into enemies, and sadly this is occurring on both sides. Trump was right about one thing, there are fine people on both sides. I prefer to believe it was his dementia talking and he didn't realize he was talking about Charlottesville. Woops, I think I'm beginning to understand how people go mad!
