If you're reading this: thanks for being here. Thanks for posting. Thanks for reading. Just thanks all the way around.
Why am I posting this, you may ask. I've been having a hard time coming to terms with how left I am. I'm a middle aged CIS male who by all means should be somewhere between a neo-lib and a chud, yet find myself unable to identify with anyone around me given the thoughts in my head and how I perceive the world around me. I've wandered from the flock.
Sure, my father getting sick and dying at my house was a bit of a catalyst. But beyond that one event - I've started checking out theory. Reading the posts here. Shedding my liberal PMC lense and seeing shit for how it is. Trying to understand what probably 10-15 years ago I would outright dismiss (LGBTQ issues come immediately to mind).
My point is, yes the world is fucked. But there are bright sides to all of this. You're not alone, even in anonymity. And despite my pessimism (or yours), there's so much to learn and so much work to be done.
:meow-hug: this place been great for learning new perspectives because in between shitposting you make friends and you want to learn what your friends going through leading to reading and learning if that makes sense.

I feel the same, that part about being unable to identify with anyone and wandering from the herd. It's hard sometimes, but yeah.
