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/

It's surreal and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think I'm starting to view them as an enemy as opposed to simply misguided. I feel a little grief over this, but this is coming after a *lot* of charitably-attempted interactions with these people. I feel exhausted and done.

I know this isn't fair. I know that I've always wanted people to try to interact charitably with me. And to be fair I do think I would be happy to have conversations with seemingly Infected people if they were charitable! But I'm absolutely biased now upon just subtle signaling.

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 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.
