The sepulchral monuments to which the bodies lay buried. The rituals of sacrifice. The cults of lives stolen. The genocides of peoples. The dolmens of the ancient, unheard of and enigmatic lost peoples who had succumbed to life’s inevitability before our time. The confrontation of everything that has and will be drawn to an end. The breath of life given to dead bones--the learnings from those passed and the monolith of their impression. The silence, the cacophony, the burial, the pyramids, the temples, the sky and watered earth, the petrichor that rises from old graves. The nails and hair that grow long after the flesh has decayed. |

How can anyone under 30 feel old tbh |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | i'm almost 33 and feeling old af. i'm confused by the whole nonbinary thing tho. so, you're a male who likes females, but you're not super masculine? everyone has different testosterone and estrogen levels, but i've never understood this insofar as changing your sex. like, i have some feminine tendencies too, like being more emotional than any man i've ever met (to the point i kind of hate it lol), does that make me nonbinary in a way? it seems like an umbrella term which is confusing |
parksungjoon
04.24.22 | stfu |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | @park - that seems very on-brand of leftists to respond when someone asks a question about something they don't really understand haha |
ArsMoriendi
04.24.22 | park is a leftist? |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | not sure i don't rly know the guy, i just know that its the general attitude of liberals to just tell people to stfu or silence them in other ways when they're trying to engage in a dialogue about something for which they don't understand |
madrigal30
04.24.22 | gyro, gender =/= hormones or sex. you don't have to change your sex to exist as a non-binary person (or as a binary trans person, but i digress!)-- it simply means that the social and cultural and physical norms of the assigned gender at birth may no longer fully apply. nonbinary people can exist as completely androgynous, or can dress and act similarly to their assigned gender at birth most of the time, but regardless feel alienated from the concept of their initial gender. it's like a custom spec gender identity, tbh |
neekafat
04.24.22 | thank you everyone im so v happy rn < 3
@pots genuinely thank you for those answers
@madrigal ahhh thank you!! you too!!!
@Sowing I really appreciate that (: hopefully by then this site will have metamorphosed into a beautiful butterfly |
neekafat
04.24.22 | yeah gyro i don't feel like i've changed my sex, i feel the same as i always have just now cognisant that I don't feel like or fit in with a specific gender |
neekafat
04.24.22 | "it seems like an umbrella term which is confusing"
it is confusing, that's why it took me so long to embrace the term lol. for a while I was just like "physically I'm a guy, mentally I'm both man and woman." and then I was like ok so that's just nonbinary. ig in college everyone I knew that was nonbinary stuck to a specific code so I felt like I wasn't that? and now I realize it's bc they turned identities into cliques |
madrigal30
04.24.22 | and ideally-- IDEALLY, but not necessarily-- people's trans identities should be accepted without questions being directed their way. if you have questions, i'd suggest that you either do some of your own research (there's lots of good info and lots of bad info, so you should read a lot!!) or ask someone who either has a trans friend or relative or an expert of some kind your questions, because wed can find them very invasive depending on what you want to know and it is really hard to come to terms with our lives and identities so having them questioned can be very hurtful |
madrigal30
04.24.22 | ofc neek!! u are a cool person whom i respect (insofar as this website is conducive to terms like "respect") and im so glad to hear you're happy |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | i see. it still seems very confusing to me even after reading up more on it and you guys explaining it. like, i feel like many people probably could identify as nonbinary based on the criteria. but at any rate, congratulations! i'm happy you're able to express how you feel, that's always important to be able to do.
altho madrigal i don't agree with your points about not asking questions. seems contradictory to the very nature of the thing (like, clearly they asked themselves and others a ton of questions to get to that point to begin with, and excluding others from understanding their pov just makes it that much harder to understand) |
bgillesp
04.24.22 | I refuse to believe 2016 was 6 years ago (as someone who joined not long before you and is barely older than you)!! Anyways, I’m happy to hear that you’re more comfortable now with this decision/realization. I don’t know what that process of figuring out a non-binary gender identity feels like, but I’m glad you know who you are and are happy with it! |
parksungjoon
04.24.22 | >i don't agree with your points about not asking questions.
the point is that its fucking irrelevant if you believe or understand them or not.
of course the person in question does ask themselves questions [:
its all about empathy and respect |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | park and i have gotten along in many threads, he's just pmsing. my bad for calling you a liberal since you used the dreaded 'r' word (it really is a great word tho isn't it) |
ArsMoriendi
04.24.22 | Asking questions is fine, just make sure they sound like they're in good faith
So much of the LGBT community is often bombarded with bad faith questions that I guess many of us get defensive with questions in general, I try not to though |
parksungjoon
04.24.22 | to someone living in a pigsty, they dont realise theyre covered in shit, but to people outside its obvious
hand wringing about liberals and leftists and whatever other braindead buzzwords that yall dont even know how to use correctly is hilarious when its just anyone outside your shithole knows youre just fucking dumb |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | "the point is that its fucking irrelevant if you believe or understand them or not."
if they want to build a more understanding and accepting society then it should be an open dialogue and encouraging others to understand it better, right? |
parksungjoon
04.24.22 | you are not entitled to people's emotional labour just so you can understand their subjective experience. exercise more empathy and failing that a live and let live attitude
no one should be required to justify their existence to anyone, least of all to ignorant and potentially violent people. the onus is not on them to convince you, its on you to not be a stupid fucking asshole about things that dont affect you. |
parksungjoon
04.24.22 | i am a big proponent of dialogue and understanding, but like, if you ask and they answer and you dont get it, thats not their problem its yours and demanding any more than that is selfish and cunty |
madrigal30
04.24.22 | while you're certainly correct to a degree on that last point gyro, it's really up to the individual. in this case, detailing the soul-searching really was kind of done in the thread, and i'm sure we'd both see it as invasive to press neek for details into their deeper inner life. there's value in their story and if they volunteer to share it to you, then listening and learning is a great response-- in this case, though, in which the dialogue was opened by sharing, i'd be wary about pressing for more detail.
regarding the umbrella term discussion-- yes, lots of people have many different gendered traits, and not all of them are consistent with their assigned gender at birth. at the end of the day it's about whether you identify (physically and mentally) with the kinds of expressions demanded by your assigned gender. do they make you feel uncomfortable? would you behave differently if you could remove the label of "man" or "woman" from your shoulders? there are infinitesimal ways to express and label one's nonbinary gender identity, but largely it rests on how one feels in relation to the pre-existing options. for example, it's possible to be a "nonbinary girl" and express yourself largely femininely while still being nonbinary. same with masculinity. all of this is completely divorced from discussions of bodily sex |
bgillesp
04.24.22 | Oh and also happy birthday! I hope your Facebook and Instagram announcements don’t get comment wars and stuff |
madrigal30
04.24.22 | in short-- i agree with park, but also you're not completely wrong. let the queer person in question lead this discussion and dont pry them |
Gyromania
04.24.22 | entitled to a person's emotional labour? wth are you on about? it's a simple inquiry to help foster better understanding, get off your high horse. it isn't a requirment, it's sharing knowledge to better connect people and make a more inclusive environment. you can't expect people to be accepting or understanding if you aren't willing to explain shit to them, that's pretty damn simple sociology |

madrigal30
04.25.22 | park's not really being a "pos", his point is valid and he's taking an aggressive tone because he doesn't like your line of argumentation. i don't either, and i've calmly explained (so as to "foster better understanding") why. if you still take issue with the stance of me (a trans woman speaking from experience) on this, then we probably shouldn't discuss it anymore, because i am likely to be equally "a pos" |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | "park's not really being a "pos", his point is valid"
I asked a question which Neek and you very politely responded to and he told me to stfu. Literally responding with something toxic to a genuine question, because he absolutely doesn't give two shits about anything other than provocation |

madrigal30
04.25.22 | your question contained sex-based rhetoric used by TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists), toxically masculine presumptions about manhood (I'm the most emotional guy I know!!), the deriding assumption that just ANYBODY could decide to be nonbinary, and the consistent belittling of trans identities. i thought i explained to you why all of this was wrong, and i'm now aware of why neek didn't even try. |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | @gyro i didn't read this whole thread cuz it looked like it got hostile and there were a lot of paragraphs but just my 2 cents:
try to think about it a little more subjectively / abstractly. You are right that many people could identify as non-binary. It all comes down to personal preference. To some people the labels and the semantics aren't important and thus their expression is different than to someone who has really struggled with the implications of the lexic of expression of gender and sexuality. I've never identified much with masculinity, but for me the pronouns are of little consequence to my expression of gender or sexuality, but to someone else that might be very important. So it comes down to basically just respecting everyones different journey navigating a world where we are starting to be a bit more open-minded about how peoples psychology, their bodies, and our constructed definitions of gender and sexuality interact. Yes it can be confusing and clumsy as ideas people largely considered concrete become less tangible and a lot more subjective, but complexity is good and it gives more room for people discover how to feel out a sense of belonging in the world and comfort in their own skin. |
Avagantamos

04.25.22 | Pots said it perfectly |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | appreciate the thoughtful response, pots. i was only trying to understand the pov of someone nonbinary, since i've dismissed it in the past due to being frustrated by the seeming vagueness of the term. and yeah the thread above is nuts idk what even happened but apparently i should kill myself and i'm the worst piece of shit ever for my question.
" I've never identified much with masculinity, but for me the pronouns are of little consequence to my expression of gender,"
this is how i am too, and was confused by the distinction of someone who's nonbinary, because it doesn't necessarily mean trans. anyway, i'm trying to be more open minded about all of this lately, but the terminology seems sometimes needlessly confusing to me |
pizzamachine
04.25.22 | “idk what even happened“
Park lost his shit and then y’all wouldn’t stop fighting |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | "this is how i am too, and was confused by the distinction"
it's best just to not over-think it and chalk it up to a difference of experience and perspective. some people have been subjected to a great deal of trauma or strife over not feeling they identify with the gender expression assumed upon them by their biology and society, and dismantling the structure of that may be liberating or cathartic. I think most people have been bullied over shit like this to some extent in their lives. For me I personally I don't feel comfortable with emphasizing that my perceived lack of "masculine" traits makes me less "male" because I think everyone has "masculine" and "feminine" traits and that it's important to either normalize the latter as desirable qualities in men, or to abolish the idea of the traits being gendered entirely, so I have never felt the need to change my pronouns. Thats just my own little perspective and part of the ideology of why I'm comfortable presenting and identifying as male even though I reject a lot of the social construct that is maleness. Other people will come to different conclusions about what they are comfortable with and the best way to present for what they feel is right. Neek is coming to a different conclusion that is equally valid and all that really matters is that it makes him happier.
(note: i say "him" because he said in this list that he is comfortable with he/him pronouns, but will switch to whatever he wants if he decides otherwise) |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | tl;dr sometimes things are complex and confusing but if it makes people happier thats the most important thing |
bgillesp
04.25.22 | Nice words Potsy. |
ArsMoriendi
04.25.22 | Understanding non-binary people comes pretty easy when you see how gender roles are dissolving more and more. The lack of practicality of those roles feels more apparent than ever.
I wonder if identifying as non-binary is easier for bisexual/pansexual people because they already exist in a category of in-between in one way, so gender roles are especially offputting to them |
bgillesp
04.25.22 | For me, I don't think non-binary is a term that I identify with and I'm heterosexual, but I've never been accused of being very "masculine" either, so I like what Potsy said about just getting rid of genderifying traits. But I also understand that there is diversity in how we think about these terms and that's fine with me too |

Avagantamos
04.25.22 | neek I can really relate to what you're saying in #4. eventually I came to the conclusion that it didn't matter how others perceived me because identifying as non-binary is for me, not for them. there's no wrong way to be non-binary (as long as you're genuine and honest with yourself). if you don't want your physical appearance to be part of your gender expression, it doesn't have to be |

04.25.22 | idk if park going berserk is entirely warranted here but also gyro the purpose of a thread like this is for someone to share a change in their personal identity and the way that affects them, it's not the place for you to ponder your own views on the validity of their beliefs and hijack the thread with questions that are inherently dismissive in this context. even if all the times you've pissed people off like this were accidental (big if), I have seen you do it so many times and have it explained to you so many times that I can't see it as anything other than intentionally obtuse and that makes it hard to feel sympathy for you
neeka i am glad you're happy and i hope you are now able to enjoy wack shitty coldplay albums and the people in your life can judge you solely for your taste without criticizing you for not aligning with their ideas of gender norms |

04.25.22 | Happy birthday and glad you found your own term that makes you happy
As a 33 year old I wasn’t exposed to any of this stuff growing up and don’t have as much of an understanding about it as I’d like so whilst the thread turned a bit crap halfway through I appreciate those giving thought out answers as I like to learn more wherever possible in more authentic conversation rather than googling stuff as even when I went to pride with a few gay buddies back in the day, these terms didn’t really exist/get talked about back then |
parksungjoon
04.25.22 | shemson its ok homie, no reason to take gyromania at his word because he has been stirring the shit about subjects like this for a long time under the pretense of "just asking questions"

Demon of the Fall
04.25.22 | I also don't want to derail the thread (again), but as a 35 yo I have sympathy with anyone who doesn't understand what the term 'non binary' actually means. My teenage self absolutely was, or at least would've 'liked to identify as' non binary (literally just realised by reading the thread), this realisation is confusing af to me. Thanks Neek (and Pots amongst others as his perspective was very helpful). |
Demon of the Fall
04.25.22 | anyway, I'm pleased young people nowadays have a way of expressing how they feel about themselves with regards to gender identity / constraints and the unhelpful expectations society puts on them |

I have a friend that’s non-binary. THEY are very cool and one of the best and most accepting/loving people I know. |
wham49
04.25.22 | I am actually old Neek, I do not pretend to understand the whole nonbinary thing though, I am a straight dude, but as everybody does I have some feminine tendencies, I saw that as being human and having different sensibilities. I guess you dont know unless you know |
pizzamachine
04.25.22 | My non-binary friend sees them as neither male or female in gender identity/expression, hence they are non-binary. |
pizzamachine
04.25.22 | “I have some feminine tendencies, I saw that as being human and having different sensibilities”
Exactly, you can be who you want to be, and whoever you are is completely valid. I have feminine tendencies but I’m a male. I choose to see it as I’m queer and that’s why I act like that. Other people might see themselves as genderfluid. No matter how you interpret it, that is your valid expression. |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | “I have some feminine tendencies, I saw that as being human and having different sensibilities”
Yeah this is basically the same point I made before getting mobbed. And the confusion I had around the terminology. I used to identify as bisexual as well since I've dated men and someone made an interesting observation about bisexual people being halfway between both already (obv more complicated than that but I think I get where they're coming from) |
DoofDoof
04.25.22 | Is Taylor from Billions a good mainstream effort of representing a nonbinary person or no? Have no idea how popular the character is |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | @gyro gender expression and sexuality are related but not the same. Which doesn’t make anything any less complicated but is necessary to distinguish. An example: A gay male acquaintance of mine is dating a trans woman who transitioned during their relationship, but her gender expression doesn’t default his sexuality. I’m sure you can see why it would be problematic to dictate someone else’s sexuality just because he technically is in a heterosexual relationship. Sometimes sexuality and gender expression don’t line up so neatly. Everything is fluid. So it’s ultimately down to him and his sexuality being respected as well as her and her gender being respected and that’s between them. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | He could choose to say he’s bi or pan or just queer but if he still identifies as gay as he has been his whole life and that’s what he feels |
CugnoBrasso
04.25.22 | You're still a couple of years younger than I was when I joined this site. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | Point just being bisexuality is a sexuality and non binary is a gender(or genderless) expression |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | Yeah I get that pots, it's just always been easier for me to understand non-binary in the context of say a trans person. A person who identifies as male and only likes females declaring they're non-binary confused me because like, arr they saying some days they seem themselves as female? Is it because they like drag? Do they just like the terminology and it doesn't actually go any deeper than that? This has always been my confusion with it and why I said it seems like anybody could identify as it since the criteria is so loose and nonspecific to anything. Again I'm sorry for my ignorance or whatever, all these different labels are confusing and sometimes seem arbitrary to me but I'm accepting of however a person feels. I have a trans friend and I think they're awesome, I'm not bigoted about this, I guess park would just say I'm a total fucking idiot or w.e lol |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | It seems like there's some pushback in the community too on how many genders exist, with some saying 4 and others saying dozens, and then some saying just 2 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | The could feel they are both or neither, some days one and some days the other, they might be comfortable with some or all pronouns. Saying you are okay with he/him doesn’t necessarily mean u are not okay with other pronouns, neek didn’t specify further but there may be others he identifies with. Just an individual comfort thing case by case |
DANcore
04.25.22 | Congrats and happy bday, neeka
The rest of this thread is some shit that tucker carlson would use as evidence that the left is ‘destroying murica’ |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.25.22 | At the end of the day there is truth behind what people itt have been saying regarding bad faith questions, I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt but it’s a lot more appropriate to just research yourself or if you have a irl friend who is non binary and is comfortable answering questions that’s better than expecting an online acquaintance to shoulder that burden. It’s personal and sensitive stuff and some people are more comfortable educating than to others who might find it uncomfortable or patronizing. It’s good that you want to learn, you just have to tread lightly and find the time and the place. |
pizzamachine
04.25.22 | @ Dan: 😂 |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | Yeah that makes sense to me, some days they feel more like one than the other. I just needed a bit of context. I'm still learning all this stuff and most of these concepts have been admittedly a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around but I appreciate your patience |
alamo
04.25.22 | "It seems like there's some pushback in the community too on how many genders exist, with some saying 4 and others saying dozens, and then some saying just 2"
not really. if anything people are conforming less and less to predefined labels and realizing even though they're useful they can also be limiting |
Gyromania
04.25.22 | I always felt that too, that they're limiting and if anything can lead to alienation. |

butt.
04.27.22 | The parks v. gyro shit above is exactly why so many people refuse to even consider people in neek’s shoes. As someone who grew up super conservative and had to try extra hard to understand the “left” side of the fence, if I was met with park’s hostility then it would have pushed me back into my own camp even harder. This is a complicated subject and it’s not something those of us 25+ grew up with, so even if you assume those questions are in bad faith, you still need to answer them in good faith so this divide can be mended.
On a more positive note, congrats neek, happy for your acceptance and confidence, and best of luck as you continue to share who you are with the world! Also wow only 24? Tbh I assumed you were closer to 30 lmao |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.27.22 | All these 24 year olds having quarter-life crisis’s as if they aren’t literally in their prime, what I’d give to go back to 24 for a week and do 24 yr old shit but with 30 yr old brain |

04.27.22 | @butt I sort of agree. I had this kind of conversation with my mom when my cousin came out as trans.
Older folks that just don’t understand the issue and are asking questions in good faith are fine, but I know too many assholes that are around my age that are just bigoted and just want to piss off anybody that leans progressive. That kind of shit should be met with hostility. |

04.27.22 | 100% agree with butt's take, as long as the intentions are genuine / in good faith then these discussions can be enlightening. Education is the way forward. What better way of attaining knowledge than receiving guidance directly from the source... i.e. those with experience of the subject? (whatever it is). Especially when tackling complex issues in an age where misinformation is rife. |

If they're trying to piss you off and you react with hostility then you're giving them what they want. If they're asking genuine questions then hostility will alienate them. Either way, hostility doesn't accomplish anything. |

You're missing a point that you can't see from my point of view because you clearly don't live in Argentina and you don't have any idea what it feels like this "wind of change" with regards of gender equality and all that shit. My posture is: I support LGBT rights, pro-abortion rights and all that. However, in my country this has become something like a bolshevik approach to many people with something like: "You're ging to respect us whether you like it or not, and we're going to fight you til you accept that OUR truth is the universal truth." |

Apart from this take being pretty cringe, no, german is terrible with in-baked gendered suffixes, articles and pronouns for everything so don't take my countries language as an example. English are much better at this.
So in that sense, I can actually understand your trouble somewhat because we now need to do shit like "Lehrer*innen" instead of the old "Lehrer" (teacher), which is technically prescribed a masculine linguistic gender. It's kind of tedious but one can get used to it. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.08.22 | Refusing to slightly alter pronouns to make a marginalized community more comfortable because it is a minor inconvenience that you can blow out of proportion and turn into a big political thing is literally Peterson’s MO
Western cultures forcing their ideology on other cultures (ie Latinx) against their will is another thing, but from what rodrigo said it sounded like he was complaining about his own countries movement to make language more gender inclusive, even on as small of a scale as to not offend an individual by gendering them.
I’m surprised even you’d attempt to stoop this low to challenge me budgie
And nothing I even said to rodrigo was even that bad either 😂
“Entire thread is a shitshow” it’s actually been overwhelmingly positive for the most part sans a couple people stirring shit up. Get over yourself dude |
Odal
05.08.22 | That was how I read it too.
Things like Latinx are cringe because it's inducting ethnocentric solutions to another culture. Engendered language does have issues but it's something that the culture is working toward solutions within itself, which is something Rodrigo is pretending isn't happening |

It's a logical argument to criticize pronouns like xir xer etc. The angle I see is "why should everyone have to change the way they speak to accomodate .04% of the pop" which is a logical debating point that the left should attempt to counter with shit other than "you're a dumbass" "kys" etc. Those same people then say shit like "who cares? Why get so upset over this".
Idk it's weird that people say "dude imagine actually getting upset over things like changing fireman to firefighter". Like bro, isn't that what you're doing too tho? And isn't it worth discussing changing shit like this? Like is it actually driven by supposed sexism or is just the etymology of the word? (Like.. is "human" sexist?) Isn't it lefties who get pissed at this and assume the language is sexist? |

Sure #bothsides do this, but it's definitely more true that people with right-wing opinions love to cherry-pick the most extreme left opinions and act like they're the typical ones and that just feels especially in bad faith
and they'll obfuscate important political issues like the environment, the disappearing middle class, and slowly eroding democracy to talk about pointless culture war bullshit that doesn't even affect most people the way the former issues I presented do... so much of modern-day US Republican politics just seems like such a grift |

Leftist- libertarian left, pro gun, pro abortion, do what you want as long as it’s not hurting anyone, basic human rights are dope, billionaires are whack, fuck cops
Liberal - moderate normally upper middle class yuppie who only cares about social stuff on a surface level and generally they’re much more fiscally conservative. Super stoked on broad and meaningless symbolic gestures, probably wants preferred pronouns on the side of fighter jets
Your biggest issue is talking to bullheaded people on the internet about politics instead of talking to people in your life. Leftists have a lot more in common with the working class right who are obsessed with Christianity than liberals tbh. Working a truck driving job for 5 years taught me that. |

05.08.22 | "Gender identity isn't political, christ"
it should not be but the right regretably uses gender identity among other issues as a smokescreen in their culture war attempts to obfuscate the actual harm they do every day by blocking necessary progress and reverting shit wherever they can to please their billionaire donors. |

05.08.22 | The right are so obsessed with other peoples genitals and who they want to sleep with, and how people dress you'd think they'd actually be all for Sharia Law |

oh man im just talking about what annoys me. no question twitter shit is harmless in comparison
"liberals believe in free market capitalism and private property rights"
this is economical liberalism. liberal in the US is 99 times out of 100 used as shorthand for social liberalism
oh is this bait |
budgie
05.08.22 | thats what i get for reading the thread backwards |
Odal
05.08.22 | it was a little bait-y on purpose lol
but the economic liberalism always kneecaps the social liberalism so it's worth it to bring it up |

05.08.22 | "Brother, if you think starting in the center is the solution with American politics (or, really, any), you are delusional. Being in the "center" or compromising when there are gross power imbalances, cedes to the parties in power. Centrism is a limp-dicked pipedream. See how far that got things with Obama's presidency"
Centrism is to view things objectively. People like you who say it's fence sitting or compromising are delusional. Can you say you're 100% on the left or right for every single opinion? |

05.08.22 | Centrism = objectively is the most sophomoric and im14andthisisdeep approach to politics lmao |
budgie
05.08.22 | yeah the idea that centrism is intrinsically pragmatic and balanced fails in my mind when you consider its position is defined by degrees of extremity |
budgie
05.08.22 | and also a one dimensional spectrum of left and right policies is a fictional reduction that doesnt fuckin exist anyway |

05.08.22 | Deep entrenching of your extreme politico/religion sides will get you in civil war if you are too obstinate to not compromise. You know that you did it by yourself. So start to take responsibility. No? You prefer many variations of the ego-trip? Worth it?
You absolutely need honest introspection with deep breaths. Fragile, very fragile, you became, you take everything and internalize it. You do need coaching because you definitely don’t know anymore what you are doing. We will no more just watch you going down in a degenerative path. Your global influence is too important. And, we will not ask permission neither, you have loose this right in 2016. Wake Up, you noctambules. (Oh, i know that you can take it) |

Analyzing the merits of both sides and coming to your own conclusions based on the data = defined by extremity. Right.

FYI I live in one of the wealthiest beach cities in california, go to the gym 6 times a week and the club every weekend - unvaccinated and haven’t worn a mask in over a year. I guess I should be dead by now. You look like a literal retard posting your mask selfies outdoors with no one else around. I’m guessing you haven’t been outside your liberal utopia recently because the pandemic ended a long time ago. Keep living in perpetual fear of a virus that was never going to hurt a young person anyway |

05.08.22 | Clarify what you mean by degrees of extremity? Because from my pov being centrist is analyzing the merits of both instead of just immediately assuming a position with little knowledge. I've never understood the arguments people make about centrism unless you can confidently say your platform is right about every single issue |

im not talking about centrist like some fantasy role you take on as an impartial political observer lol. im talking about centrist positions being determined by the political conventions between which they are centrally positioned e.g., universal healthcare is a centrist position in western europe while it is not one in the US |

being young, optimistic, but also frustrated about the future, with all its uncertainties & insecurities is soooo much more rewarding than being around 45, having accomplished all you wanted, but burnt out
which is weird bc 20 yrs ago I wanted to be exactly where I am now, but now it’s like huh? |
