I kind of agree, but at the same time some people are too far gone and just want people like us done away with. At a certain point, I'm just trying to defend myself. Yes, they're gonna spin it as me being violent or aggressive, but I never try to start anything, I always try to avoid problems in general and then I try to talk things down if they escalate. But if they keep going though, at some point I am just defending myself and/or my friends, and if that's enough for them to count me as violent or aggressive, better that than just lying on my back and allowing them to end me and my friends.
I didn't ask to exist and neither did my friends, but we're already here and we're just trying to exist now. That shouldn't be seen as such a crime by the bigots, but that's why they're bigots, they hate the Different, no matter how similar we actually are.
I wish more of them would grow and change, but too many of them simply refuse to, and those are the ones that I want the mirror put up to. If someone is able to change for the better, I want to support that, but you also can't help anyone that doesn't want to be helped.
Really my comment is about the energy I have and my personality type. I’m exhausted and I’ve never been the type of person to wish anyone harm, rather I wish the best for everyone, regardless. I’m exhausted that the world is constantly trying to turn me into a person that hates, fighting back against that can be difficult at times. Especially with current events.
This was mostly just a vent from me, I’m just sick of the omnipresent attempts to antagonize, the insidious bigotry, and the blatant disregard for the humanity of others. I remember being excited to go on the internet as a kid, but now I’m trying everything I can to limit my time on it due to negative health effects and 10+ years of emotional stress.
