A System -- Drunken Rant

I'm not a disciplined person. People have surprisingly (at first, not a surprise anymore) called me racist, sexist, homophobic, all of these things. If I was more disciplined, I'd reiterate my viewpoints, calmly and gently, but I've become too fond of calling each other "dumb cunts" and the like.

I guess I lean conservative these days? I really think of myself as more libertarian, like small governments, free markets, free people. I like that shit. It's like the government can't fuck things up that much if they aren't dictating people's lives. I don't know much, but I at least know Venezuela can't happen under free people. You can't have disastrous central mismanagement if there is no management. I can at least say the worst-case scenario is unlikely to happen with a very free system, and I'm that sort of guy.

But how'd we get from that ideal of mine to racism, homophobia, sexism, and so forth? I like to think my life is quite exemplary when it comes to showing that I have none of such things and a most eclectic and varied group of friends. Maybe everyone thinks that. Whatever. Why should I be analyzing this shit when I don't think this way? As far as I'm concerned, anyone who accuses me of discrimination is actually the discriminatory type because they're looking for patterns that I don't notice. Yet there's no convincing someone who is determined to think you're racist or homophobic or whatever (something I learned very much on GaG).

Who gives AF? Why do I give AF? Obviously I GAF because I'm writing about this shit. But maybe I GAF because others GAF, you know? Like why do I have to GAF about this shit? I shouldn't. But people do. And now I gotta watch what I say and all of that because of the people giving AF. Now I gotta GAF because of the people who GAF.

And I hate that because I think it's counter-productive as hell. So I'm into offending people now. Offend TF out of people. Because at least if you offend people, you can have some fun. I gave up hope on productive exchanges years ago. But there's fun to be had out of offending people.

But I worked in a team before with those politically correct types, hired a few years after I joined. And basically they took a friendly team with banter into one walking on eggshells, so careful not to offend people that they started segregating and talking behind each other's backs. Good job, HR PC types! What a bunch of dumbasses. Maybe we should all wear badges next to identifying our race and sex and sexual orientation?

They could do way more damage that way. So I hate PC shit. I'm into provoking that. I do it for a cause, and as rude as I am, I think it is right -- even if I'm going about it the wrong and impatient way. There's no way a country, ruled by these people insisting on "appropriateness", will not end creating mass suffering and misery. I know these people. I know what breaks their day. They are authoritarians -- all of them. They want to rule your lives. And people who want to rule every tiny aspect of your life should not be in charge.
