Like, hate me by all means, but at least know what it is you hate. Don’t say “antifa are the real fascists”. Don’t call me a “socialist liberal anarchist tankie”. For fucks sake, Marxism isn’t “forcing people to wear a mask”. This shit makes me wanna warp to another galaxy.

    I am sure it is cynically being wielded like you say; but I'm of the opinion that we're witnessing the terminal stages of like, mass psychosis. Kind of like if there was an epidemic of Pathological Narcissism. The brutal alienating nature of capital is driving us further and further apart into our isolated caves. With more and more social interactions happening exclusively in the metaphysical realm of "online" it becomes easier and easier to gate-keep the perceptions of people who do or do not see the same shadows on the cave wall. So, rather than having a great unifying delusion like Religion or Chauvinism we have atomized and alienated personal delusions. It gets more and more difficult to rationalize our perceptions against the perceptions of others to synthesize "truth." So, things don't mean things anymore. We can think "Well, this is what this means to me" without taking into account the fact that "truth" is not subjective or defined by any individual's perception.

    ...Or I'm even more cracked than Christman and I need to log off.

    Edit: I would like to rationalize this perception against the perception of my fellow shadow-watchers, please let me know if you think this sounds cracked.
