i dont really have a beef with you, i have a beef with discriminatory bullshit :v
ill happily come and call people out on it whenever i can bring up the effort.
Oh, and so much for "I don't call people bigots for disagreeing with me."
Wasn't trying to be insulting so much as chiding with the babby's first ideology bit. 'Cause, y'know, that shit happens. That's what teenagers
do, they start forming their own worldviews, and those tend to first emerge as dogmatic adherence to some ultra-binary bullshit. There's the ones who start (quite ironically enough) worshipping Marx and venerating Mao or Castro, the little rich fuckers who immediately start smoking the traditional Rand-Smith poison, the weird one who becomes ultra-nostalgic for Reagan-era conservatism; I was a budding little anarchist myself.
But we tend to grow out of that, most of us. We realize that the world isn't some fantasy bullshit division between Good and Evil, that there aren't easy answers or solutions to most of our problems, that people the world over tend to live lives which are pretty similar in structure and emotion even if the content differs. The ones that don't are the fringe-radical assholes that make cooperation and understanding difficult from the rest of us. And when you look back at your own gestation as a political creature (or someone still going through it), it's really fucking obnoxious how single-minded people are at that age.
And it sure as shit don't change, I think most anyone who self-contemplates at all gets some bitter laughs about what they believed at most any point prior to the present. I'm sure that in thirty years, if I'm still alive, I'll think that the me of today was a know-nothing little shit. That's how humans work, we change over time, and the trend tends to be towards a more nuanced view of the world (until you go senile). Absolutism is for the very young and the willfully ignorant. None of us know or understand everything, so it's generally best to try to be open and understand
ing, since shutting people out and trying to divide the world into hostile camps incapable of comprehending each other doesn't do anyone any good.
In other words: life sucks, then you die. Most everyone has plentiful helpings of pain in their lives, even if it's not always the same sort or derived from the same sources, and acting as if they don't (or that it doesn't matter) is frankly really goddamn arrogant. Are they a person? If they are, then they matter, and their pain is real, regardless of what sort of bullshit you need to justify your special-snowflake syndrome or self-flagellation.
