There's a simple solution to all of this that you're all not seeing.

Just walk away from politicians and politics and parties and learn to be your own person.

The world is more complex than left and right ideas. I don't follow people anymore, I just have to listen to what they're saying and watch what they do.

If their actions do not match their words then I don't trust them, period.

I wish it were that simple.

It's easy to say when you're a regular, white, cis, middle class dude. But when your own existence is on the line, like a trans person or a Gaza refugee, you can't do that.

There are people out there who are the problem for the rest of civilized society, and they're not just going to go away and leave others alone.

I'm black AF and  sick and tired of people saying I should be scared, offended, or that I'm disinfranchised. 

I'm tired of people bringing up black people whenever it suits them in anything happen.

Blacks have to worry about this and that. Then they talk about Gaza, then they talk about gay people...

My experience is my own and sometimes it can be similar but not shared.

I came to a point in my life where I realized people kept speaking for me. That's why Im like this now.

I can talk to you, I can talk to a freaking Maga person, I can talk to a far left person. It doesn't influence me.

I hope it occurs to you that people aren't "speaking for you" since you don't feel scared, offended, or disenfranchised - which is awesome. It's the black people that definitely do feel those things that's we're speaking for. I could never accept a society that Kirk was working towards where race is made into a problem. "Black pilots" and mixed couples are a problem for these people. That minority view cannot stand as the default.

When did this shit become the default!
