And I use “normal” in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the “weirdest” people I’ve met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you’d peg as “normal”? Well I’ve had my fair share of shit with them. I’m not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

    This “Just be normal” attitude is the same bullshit that got people like Gorbachev and his crew to assume he can just be reasonable with the Capitalists. kiryu-slam

    Yes there’s obviously benefits to being publicly likeable, approachable, accommodating, there’s benefits of learning customary norms and employing them when appropriate. At the same time this world we live in is not even close to normal, I refuse to adjust to this world. I do not want to get adjusted to this world. I don’t want to destroy this world. We can build better.
