More like Kermit the SLUT put some CLOTHES on you saucy little PERVERT

None of my Friends or Coworkers or Classmates or Family know the dark task I will be undertaking this Saturday. Do you guys know the stress I am under lying to everyone. I have secret sock puppets hidden in every nook of my house. I flinch at every mention of the Muppets and I can't tell anyone why. I make up excuses to leave work early so I can put on Joker Makeup and practice for my Virtual Dashcon panel. I live a horrifying double life none of you could ever imagine. By day I am middle management at my job, a straight A student at school, and the Normal And Cisgender Pride And Joy of my family. By night I am the Muppet Joker. I spend all night in my bed screaming for God to save me from what I have created. I look at Kermit. He doesn't look back.

My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles

Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off

There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist
