my little brother has republican friends and i can tell they’re influencing him because he sometimes says these things that are so fucking mean and ignorant and then doubles down. it’s so upsetting and he gets so fucking mad when i try to talk to him about it, i hate this shit so much
do others see what i do?

it's interesting to me to see like. within queer communities the thing where if you said "things are really fucking stressful and awful for us right now and it's giving us a lot of really terrible feelings that don't have an outlet" ppl are like "yes, true" and then if you're like "it's far easier and safer to vent that frustration and fear on accessible members of your own community than it is to try to vent it on the people who are actually in power" they would be like "yes, true" and if you said "it feels better to justify venting that frustration and fear and anger if you can frame it in head as very important and righteous, rather than admitting that it's a coping mechanism being utilized by a fallible human being undergoing very difficult circumstances" they'd say "yes that's also true"
but if you're like "this is relevant to your own current behavior" with the implication that the intracommunity thing they're currently big mad about is actually not as important and righteous as they're casting it in their head, it's like "no no. not MY behavior. mine is rational and I am correct. the issue I am fighting with other queer people about like rats in a sack IS actually the most important issue to be addressing right now"
and like
this is stuff I have to constantly watch out for in my own behavior! it is absolutely absolutely a thing, and absolutely something we ALL deal with and are capable of engaging in. it's ramped up in intensity the last year or two and I don't think that is a coincidence. I wish we were more capable of this level of analysis of this stuff without getting defensive.
and like, again, it isn't like it's evil. I don't think it's GOOD to do, but as I said, it's the completely understandable behavior of a human being under considerable stress. we need to cut ourselves a break in order to be able to be honest about what we are doing sometimes.
Congrats(?) - you have discovered that not everyone has metacognition, or the ability to think about their own thoughts and look at them (somewhat) objectively. It’s really frustrating for people who do have good metacognition, especially because people who don’t have it just think you’re crazy. 🤪
IS THAT THE WORD FOR THAT
I'd be really cautious about framing metacognition as an inherent ability rather than a skill one can develop! ☝️ It's giving "some people don't understand conditional hypotheticals". (I spent way too long looking for where I heard about this that included non-nazi commentary. Alas, have a neutral knowyourmeme.)
I absolutely agree, I had some good conversations with a couple of people about this in the replies of this post. It really goes against everything I'm talking about to frame this like Some People Just Don't Have It -- personally it's a skill that I've had to develop (and am still developing) over a span of years, fighting tooth and nail all the way, lol. Anyone can learn to be better at this with practice.
Hey, hey, breathe... Look at me.... This is all your fault, okay?

saying "question mark?" and "however comma," out loud are game changers. punctuation on the go. and it's always the funniest thing that anyone around you has ever heard
had a dream where a faceless person kissed me in a way i’ve never experienced before, so tender and gentle and holding my face with love and then this mother fucker turned around and did it with someone else lmaoooo going to go back to sleep and kill this mf
sometimes i think ‘raaah i hate humans’ but i don’t hate humans, i love them, so then i think ‘raaaah i hate shitty, mean humans’ but i don’t even hate them i feel bad for them, so then i spend some time trying to identify this gaping emotion, not outward hatred, not self hatred, but the total opposite, i feel so full of love it makes me a rotten idiot. it’s like the love is pushing outward at a rate that it’s creating a vacuum, more and more is getting caught, as the love meter ticks higher so too does its inverse, tick tock, one hand that strokes and another that strangles
i love so much it feels like a mountain, a bullet

my job is really funny as long as you have a sense of humor because sometimes you’ll face situations like someone coming out and yelling at you about how they want the heater turned on, and you’ll barely be able to hear it over the sound of the heater that’s blasting hot air at the both of you
