#from the notes. second-seal ->#anyone making a snarky comment about how she shouldn’t have been surprised is missing the point#an author who received death threats from one of the men she went on dates with knows damn well what she’s getting into#but let’s not pretend we all know what’s going on in these men’s heads#the glimpses we get from her dates raise more questions than they answer about what really motivates these men#and that honestly is pretty informative in of itself. they seem confused! all of them seem confused about what their role is supposed to be#but none of them are willing to question why they have to play a rigid role (which none of them can seem to clearly define)#in the first place.#their political identities are just crutches. band-aid solutions for deeper problems#as poorly defined as their own personal identities. they don’t know who they are and they are hoping someone else will tell them#and the alt right is more than willing to tell them#I’m running my mouth but this is just so morbidly fascinating to me.#and it’s a good reminder that building an identity and core values based on what you think#interrogating those core values and deciding what you (not anyone else) think is worth upholding#it’s vital. if you let other people tell you who you are#you’ll be easy prey for people like alt right influencers#rb
