I don't get to live the charmed lives of the elusive "privileged white cis het male" cohort.
Men... have that issue due to being told all our life... "Men don't cry."
I only get annoyed with crying in certain circumstances.
Well, there is a considerable social cost to crying, it hurts people around you for them to see you cry.
Like I remember seeing a guy with a neck tattoo talking about 9/11
And he was weeping
Yeah... we are suppose to be the rock against the waves.
And I was like "You have a neck tattoo. That was a PROMISE that you'd never cry again. You suck."
When that rock breaks, it leaves everyone anchorless.
:\
@xorgy I get it, I grew up trailer trash and for people to identify me as some priviliged white male really angers me. I hold it in though, you have to carry your burden graciously.
I grew up in a middle income home, then loose it all thanks to police taking advantage of my dad's drug abuse problem.
I mean, I was sexually abused for about a decade by my own father, I failed in school despite an exceptional IQ, I was socially invisible. I have worked so fucking hard since I was 17
to make a life for myself.
He goes to prison and I spent majority of my adult life moving from trailer to trailer park.
WE just recently finally found stable footing.
damn @xorgy thats heavy shit bro
When people tell me the charmed life I'm supposedly having, I just don't have the time of day for it.
I get what you are saying man.
I get it.
I've never, _not once ever_, wanted to hurt anyone.
Sorry to hear that
I try to love and understand the people around me.
I just want to be seen as a human being sometimes, you know?
Being poor does offer one advantage.
@xorgy im the opposite i want to hurt the people that wrong me
You have empathy for those who struggle.
You know what it is like to be in those struggles.
And you know ways to help those that are struggling.
And at some point, on any of these things, I have to take responsibility for righting my suffering, bearing my cross.
Ewwww.
Sometimes I just want somebody to hold back and not cut deep to my soul over a petty political disagreement.
You understand. You are not isolated from the community, you are not ignorant to the issues.
Anyway, sorry for venting this shit to you guys.
You are not like the Antifa who are the 8% white rich children who think they are the saviors of this nation, living in a deluded world where they think they are the resistance when they are really the oppressors.
You don't need this any more than I did.
That is okay.
Everyone needs to vent.
Hell I need to vent... but I don't want to bother people.
So I get what you are saying.
