I've always had an undercurrent of "we just need to try to understand each other" with people I disagree with. Forever. But I'm starting to feel myself losing it with the woke infection. I'm watching myself shut down and curl up and go "actually no just go away." 1/

Like, I've noticed I've mostly stopped following people with BLM in their bios - not because I disagree with BLM, but because it's been associated with this terrifying and brutal infection that's claiming the minds of so many of my friends. I hate it.

I'm also afraid that me saying this will be used to justify meanness to the infected. I don't want that - I know this is a hard, nuanced line to walk. I don't think we should go easily into a war mindset at *all*. It shouldn't be easy to think war is justified. It should be hard.

And I absolutely don't want my expression of this fear and aversion to be taken as welcoming to the other side of the shithole. I disagree probably even more with the core ideology of the alt-right. If you're far-right, I'm not your friend either.
