    dude, lucky you don’t live where i live because… they act like that in person where i live. and yeah nobody punches them. they encourage them for being ‘brave’. and if you be like ‘yeah maybe it’s not that bad’ they scream in your face.

    where i live there really isn’t much of a barrier anymore between keyboard tantrums and real life ones… which is precisely why I don’t go out less and less. at least once a week I have to watch someone have a tantrum or be really nasty to someone else and it’s almost always the same types of comments and reactions as you see on the internet.

    it’s incredibly cringe. and nobody pushes back because… other people agree with the shitty awful insane entitled crap people pull.

    Like i can’t even go read a book in a cafe anymore without some insane weirdo being all offended at me. I used to do it like on an almost daily basis and nobody ever bothered me other than to maybe ask me if i liked the book… now they come up to me unprompted and tell me how what I’m reading is racist/sexist/evil because it’s… classic lit from the 19th century and I am ‘spreading’ evil by reading these book sin public… it’s strait up ‘evil spirits’ medieval type shit, except I’m the witch.

        it’s not a struggle. it’s life.

        is traffic a struggle? Is having to diarrhea a struggle? no, it’s just shit you have to deal with.

          Well now you sound delusional. I’m happy to live in a part of the country that respects each other.

            yeah i’m delusional. i live in Boston where everyone chokes on their own dick about how progressive they are, meanwhile being racist and sexist as fuck in their daily interactions.

            it’s well-known fact about this city. everyone has black lives matter signs on their lawns, but if a black man walks by their ring camera they call the cops. black lives only matter to folks here when they actually don’t see any black people…

            and if you tell them it’s racist to call the cops on a black dude just minding his business… all the sudden you ‘lack empathy’ or something… always an excuse with rich white/asian people as to why they are the most oppressed by everything/everyone.
