  Because we’re not fucking amateurs and have the considerable skills required to install and use Hannah Montana Linux, and because everything else is pure useless garbage.

  Exactly.

  Being exposed to people that believe differently than you challenges your own beliefs, and theirs.

  When women started opening about the bullshit they dealt with, a lot of people listened. Some didn’t, but a lot of people did. Some men said “hey, you know, now that you mention it, there’s some kind of fucked up shit about being a guy, too”.

  Anyone that had ever engaged with any real feminist theory or any facet of gender studies said: you’re absolutely right. Everyone else completely drowned them out.

  The internet around that time largely had the response of “shut up, the women are talking”. Not all of it, not everyone, but it was very common.

  Some men kept patiently listening, others stopped listening and started talking, others stopped listening, got angry, and started yelling. Some were never listening at all.

  Now we have hordes of young misogynistic racist shitheels who may have been receptive to other points of view once but are now so firmly entrenched in their shiftiness it may never change. And they’ve found nice cozy places to whip their impotent rage into a society-destroying frenzy. It festered in critical mass, quietly, until it built up a level where it could burst open like a cyst.

  The lesson here has nothing to do with gender, but highlights the importance of LISTENING TO PEOPLE, and being exposed to their viewpoints while exposing them to yours. Even the most vocal, selfish, pigheaded, racist conservative has legitimate concerns driving some of their shittiness: fear of uncertainty over the future, economic uncertainty, poverty, lack of education, fear of death. None of these things validate the shittiness but they do explain and they’re the levers by which these views change.

  “Why can’t everyone just be nice to each other all the time” is what lead us to where we are.

  I’m not arguing for being an asshole but when you force everyone to be kind all the time online you get people that are empowered to and motivated to wrap up abhorrent shit in a pleasing package. Racist dog whistles, selfish political propaganda, etc.

  I’m not saying that applies here but I DO think it’s important that people are allowed to be assholes online. The internet really started its descent when people started putting bubble wrap on everything.

  You’re free to engage or not to.

  People have become so used to echo chambers and safe spaces that they forget what things were like when they didn’t exist. And it was better.

  You SHOULD be encountering assholes online and encountering opinions you disagree with regularly, because that is the real the world.

  “Shucks to your Ass-mar” Said Ralph, as his face grew white, his eyes lost focus, and a telltale buzzing began emanating from somewhere deep inside of him. His mouth drooped low and spread wide forming a horrifying O at least two feet in diameter. The buzzing became louder and more frantic, as thousands of flies began to spill from his mouth, hurtling towards the small, fat boy in front of him whose even now was attempting, futilely, to run from the buzzing, angry, hungry swarm of flies.

  I have a problem with hierarchy honestly. It goes deeper than just not like capitalism or communism or monarchism or whatever.

  Hierarchy is at the root of so many of our problems as a species.

  I’m cool with someone deciding to do this.

  I mean, I’ll decide not to go on the date, but that you do you.

  Your lack of ability to judge my character leading up to the date, and the general sense of paranoia leading to a decision like this, aren’t qualities I’m looking for in a partner.

  Neither is starting things from a place of outright suspicion. Like. I’m not judging. I just have zero interest.

  I masturbate until I forget about the decision I have to make and then put off cleaning my apartment until I finally just run out, randomly pull the lever, and never think of the consequences again.

  Of course by that point everyone has already starved to death which is the worst possible outcome.
