The Misadventures of xDangerKittyx

I want to bust the world wide open the way you do when you’re filled with youth. I want to engage with people and lovers and fellow minds. I want to be physical and I want to ask the big questions. I want to taste the tastes and fix the problems. I want to run headlong into chaos and danger and darkness and pranks and fun and laugh. I want to be the best friend and I want to be the greatest human and the most complicated artist. I want to be the mystery in the room. I want to be known. [Pronouns: They/them]

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

"But I can't have privilege. My life is difficult."

This becomes easier to understand when you see privilege not as a perk, but as an expectation.

The purpose of the system giving some people privilege isn't to help those people, but to manipulate those people into upholding the system.

When you're privileged, you're taught to expect success. You're taught that if you just work hard and make good decisions, you'll be successful.

Some people will live up to that expectation. They were taught that if they worked hard and made good decisions, they would succeed. And they did. They worked hard, made good decisions, and succeeded. Think about how they'd respond to that. They'd see that as evidence that what they were taught is true. They'd assume that anyone who isn't successful just didn't work hard enough or made bad decisions. The system would use their story as evidence that the system works. Survivorship bias would cause people to see the success stories and not see anyone else.

As for those who don't become successful, they'll struggle to figure out why. They clearly see evidence that the system works because of all the success stories being shared, so there must be another reason. Many assume that they just need to work harder and harder. Some will eventually succeed and become another success story to promote the system. Others will still be trapped in poverty no matter how hard they work. To satisfy them, the system provides a scapegoat. They're told that they're struggling because of immigrants, or socialism, or DEI.

Those without privilege are taught to expect pain and suffering. They're taught about all the bad things that will be done to them. They're more likely to rebel against the system. And when that happens, the privileged people who were taught to expect success see them as lazy and violent.

This also happens to those who are labeled as "gifted".

The first trillionaire is autistic. Many other billionaires are also autistic. Autistic people are likely overrepresented in billionaires.

As children, they were likely treated like most "gifted" children are. They had a special interest that caused them to be labeled as "smart". They were expected to be smarter than everyone else. They were expected to tolerate having no social life as a child because their vast riches as an adult would make up for it. They were traumatized by the ridiculous expectations enforced on them, but the people enforcing the expectations still insisted that it's worth it because it will eventually lead to success. They were bullied nonstop for being weird, but they were taught that the bullies are just jealous and will eventually get karma when they're rich and the bullies are working for minimum wage.

Think about what happens when someone who's raised that way actually meets the expectation and becomes rich. They're going to think they earned it. They're going to think they deserve it as a reward for their traumatizing childhood. Their going to see poverty as karma for all the times they were bullied. If you attempt to tax them or help the poor, they'll see that as you trying to take away their well deserved reward or their bullies' well deserved karma.

Meanwhile, most "gifted" children are not going to become filthy rich. Most "gifted" children have a talent that makes them appear brilliant but isn't very useful for a career. But because of the success stories that exist, people who enforce the expectations insist that the expectations are for their own good. They grow up traumatized with nothing to show for it. But they still think they're better than everyone else, because that's what was expected of them. They can't understand why their life isn't as good as what was promised to them.

Watching 'Mountainhead' in HBO.

AI/Tech Bros have an obsession with "accelerationism"—the idea that tech founders should push rapid innovation and ignore the devastating consequences for society.

The 'escape to Mars' mindset is not about leaving a peaceful Earth, but a world on fire; the fires they are stoking.

Israel holds the cards. They have the Epstein blackmail details on Trump.

Most elected Republicans are on the same boat. You can't get that level of subordination to a much smaller country without some sort of extortion. Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell made their fortunes blackmailing.

You do not infiltrate without the goods.

This is not only my normal, but has been much improved with years of therapy and medications, and you're actively worsening the situation.

Person A needs something that Person B has in order to survive. Is it justified for the government to commandeer it from Person B and give it to Person A, or is it government overreach?

If Person A is a sick person and Person B is a rich person whose wealth can keep Person A alive, the government commandeering Person B's wealth to give it to Person A is considered government overreach.

If Person A is a fetus and Person B is a pregnant person whose body can keep Person A alive, the government commandeering Person B's body to give it to Person A is considered justified.

Why is there such a massive discrepancy? If there are some things that can be commandeered by the government to keep someone in need alive, why is someone's body considered fair game to be commandeered but someone's overabundant wealth isn't?

Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.
