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/

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.

It's not uncommon to have these feelings of revulsion and not want to interact with them. They set out to be uncomfortable, thinking it's an act of revolution against white, cis, male patriarchy blah blah blah. Keep being loving. Just don't tolerate the complete nonsense.

There's plenty to pick apart about their viewpoints and how they don't align with reality whatsoever. Just conserve your energy for the most part and don't hold back when you want to destroy their narrative. They treat it like war, so you should too.

I'm the same way with people with pronouns in their bio. I see it as tribal signalling and any interaction with them would not be with an individual but with an avatar for Woke doctrine.

Right! And like - that sucks. I don't have anything against people who don't view themselves as male or female or who feel better if you use pronouns. I hate that that's become so correlated with infected people who are a nightmare to talk to.

I certainly feel that. Thought that perhaps I’m dying inside, but it’s something different. My peace of mind and the liveliness of the spirit are ensured by my newly grown reflex of shutting that sort of people out. I think I’ve posted something about it a few days ago...

Right. It’s not just the wokinistas, though https://twitter.com/solfrigoris/status/1287740159346302977?s=21 …https://twitter.com/SolFrigoris/status/1287740159346302977 …

what concerns me is how this brittles friendships. i used to have open and strenuous disputes with people who now make implicit threats of a total break in contact over relatively minor points. i feel my choices limited to silence or affirmation, and increasing the latter alone.
