h3y k4nkr1 gu3ss wh4t 1 l34rn3d to do!

6y asking me t9 guess what y9u have learned t9 d9, y9u are leaving quite an am9unt 9f r99m 9pen f9r my intellect, yet ena6ling assumpti9ns, which s9me may find 9ffensive, 9r even unintelligent. S9, f9r the sake 9f refraining fr9m making any c9nsci9us 9ffenses, I w9uld like y9u t9 simply tell me what it is y9u have 6een educated 9n, whether it 6e 9n perfecting the art 9f y9ur painful high-fives, 9r finally 6ringing f9rth a seri9us nature and 6ec9ming educated 9n matters directly pertaining t9 9ur culture (matters such as the fierce injustices we as a s9ciety have faced and are still struggling t9 9verc9me, and als9 the current matter which is eliminating 9ur current enemy and surviving, thus sparing 9urselves fr9m yet an9ther death, if it is actually still p9ssi6le). I ask that y9u specify if it is the latter, as I have a sincere interest in y9ur stances 9n current events.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

This is s9mething relatively c9mm9n 6etween myself and my c9mpani9ns, 6ut when I find myself in a state 9f depressi9n 9r a variati9n 9f such, I enj9y educating 9thers 9n the state 9f injustice we as a s9ciety must t9lerate, and eventually 6egin t9 9verc9me as a species (and as a p9pulati9n), s9 that 9ne day we may l99k 6ack and see h9w far we have ev9lved and 6ec9me t99 advanced f9r things such as a hem9-spectrum.

Since y9u may 6e unfamiliar with what w9rldly issues are plaguing 9ur cities, nati9ns, and w9rlds, there has 6een a pr9minent 9ut6urst 9f enf9rced hierarchy 6etween 6l99d c9l9rs. And s9me may argue that in 9ut peaceful “ut9pian” culture that we have freed 9urselves fr9m injustice and disparities in privilege in a p9st-scarcity ec9n9my, largely equal rights distri6uted acr9ss the hem9spectrum, and theref9r exist in a “p9st-spectral w9rld” (laugh 9ut l9ud), and theref9re there is n9 need t9 champi9n imp9rtant s9cial causes and there is n9thing left t9 de6ate, 6ut really n9thing c9uld 6e further fr9m the truth. Y9u just need t9 educate y9urself and carefully investigate the l9ngstanding p9wer dynamics in play. F9r instance, a seemingly “harmless” remark fr9m a cis6l99ded cerulean t9ward an um6err 9r g9d f9r6id a 6urgundy 9r yes even a warm-identifying physically-c99ler caste, a69ut their very l9ng term future plans such as 9n the 9rder 9f centuries, then this may pr9ve t9 6e a very hurtful micr9agressi9n due t9t he fact that l9w hues cann9t p9ssi6ly live that l9ng themselves, and the m9re privileged caste c9uld easily 9utlive d9zens 9f generati9ns 9f madh9use 9r hundreds 9f generati9ns 9f 6U9Ys (6urgundry-um6er-6chre-yell9wgreens, n9te please avid descri6ing the latterm9st as “lime 6l99ds” as it has hist9rically 6een used as an especially vici9us epithet). Such remarks can further trigger painful reminders 9f h9w c99ler castes, t9 s9me extent 9JAs, 6ut CIPs and R9yal-VS in particular, have 6een a6le t9 use their tremend9us lifespans 9ver the millennia t9 gain and strangleh9ld 9ver the s9cial 9rder, have 6een a6le t9 c9mpletely dictate 9ur s9cietal ev9luti9n 6y ensuring 9nly their cultural agendas and narratives receive the dial9gue’s air supply assuring the c9dificati9n 9f th9se resultant ideals and deciding what “n9rmalcy” entails, and sadly these a6s9lutes 6ec9me internalized acr9ss the full spectral range, even within th9se 9f m9se c9mpr9mised privilege, and s9 y9u 6egin t9 see the cyclical nature 9f the dysfuncti9nal and the resulting inertia against p9sitive change and raisin awareness 9f the m9st underpr96lematized issues, which I think we can agree, is pretty pr96lematic. 

And really, it’s every9ne’s 6usiness t9 examine their privilege, even 6urgundies, wh9 may 6e su6ject t9 the pitfall 9f 6elieving inc9rrectly there are n9ne in the scale 6eneath them wh9m they enj9y certain privileges 9ver, which 9ff-spectrum tr9lls will never kn9w, such as th9se identifying as 9ther6l99ds 9r caste-multiples, “p9ly6l99ded”, any wh9 hem9gl96ically ID has having a caste which manifests n9where (as yet kn9wn) in any9ne physically 9r f9r that matter 9ff specs wh9 physically d9 pr9cess such a 6l99d type, 9r “mutants” (VERY pr96lematic term, highly triggering t9 s9me, 6e warned), such as y9u and I, Karkat. 6ut this puts us 69th in a situati9n which t9 9ut kn9wledge uniquely all9ws us t9 understand and empathize with tragically underprivileged and unemp9wered gr9ups acr9ss all scuttlers 9f life, thus aff9rding us 69th what I like t9 call a “uniquely underprivileged privylege”, which, yes, is a kind 9f privilege we sh9uld 69th strive t9 check as well, whenever we can. This same uniquely underprivileged perspective as I’m sure y9u kn9w was disadvantage up9n my p9st-scratch iterati9n as well, and while I have n9 d9u6t y9u justifia6ly came t9 revere that figure 9ff y9ur palnet’s rich hist9ry and y9ur pers9nal lineage, and while his g9als 9f peace, equality, and a truly spectra 6lind s9ciety, I’m afraid I pers9nally have tr9u6le c9nd9ning his meth9ds. I d9n’t like t9 use the term “pr96lematic” lightly, 6ut, well, his attics were n9thing if n9t massively pr96lematic, t9 say the least, empl9ying vi9lent uprising t9 effect change, and em6alming his mark up9n hist9ry and his faithful f9ll9wers with the salty fl9urish 9f a single rude, sh9uted swear w9rd, it’s n9t t9 my taste even th9ugh he is wh9 I w9uld have gr9wn up t9 6e in an9ther life. 6ut n9, I prefer t9 affect s9cial change th9ugh rati9nal, h9nest disc9urse.

SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY, SMOKE WEED SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY SMOKE SMOKE WEED WEED WEED

Alth9ugh y9u may find drug usage t9 6e quite hum9r9us, it's inexplica6ly taunting (If y9u find 9ffense t9 my l9gically explaining why canna6is is n9t hum9r9us, please cease reading further) t9 create j9king gestures a69ut having an addicti9n t9 the drug. As s9me9ne wh9 is well-r9unded in his kn9wledge 9f many subjects, drug-usage and addictions are am9ng th9se. I will n9w explain b9th what 6rings f9rth an addicti9n in humans and tr9lls, and als9 h9w this m9dernized sense 9f hum9r c9uld be f9und 9ffensive t9 s9me.

Humans are n9t identical t9 tr9lls in c9mp9siti9n, they are als9 pr9ne t9 addicti9ns (Such as marijuana, am9ng 9ther amphetamines) and their 9wn tendencies t9ward trying her6s (If I may call them as such) and experimenting with new things. In c9ntrast with tr9lls, they tend t9 fluctuate 6etween their meth9ds in achieving either hallucinati9ns 9r a s9p9rific effect. H9wever, 9nce they have experimented 9n numer9us 9ccasi9ns, an addicti9n may 6egin t9 f9rm, and they will have ultimately created their 9wn demise (Again, this may 6e a str9ng syn9nym f9r "addicti9n," 6ut I see it as em9ti9nally appealing, especially if 9ne has a sh9rter attenti9n span.)

Regardless, a s9ng a69ut sm9king marijuana is hardly funny in the eyes 9f s9me9ne wh9 struggles daily with c9ming clean 9f their addicti9ns and pasts. I am truly s9rry if I have 9ffended y9u, and I urge y9u t9 speak f9rward if I have d9ne s9. This has merely 6een an attempt t9 change y9ur senses 9f hum9r and realize that perhaps addicti9ns t9 a drug are n9t as witty as they may have first seemed.
