Because those things are up in MY ****. Maybe there’s a part of me as nasty as the nastiest capitalist but I don’t force my **** up on anyone, ever. I settled on pacifism a long time ago and I live by it. It may seem incoherent but it’s not.

Maybe we're just that much more different, but the easiest thing in the world to do is to reject people before they reject you and to rationalize that position. I truly hate so much about modern society and capitalism, and I'd probably hate it regardless since it's just my nature, but I doubt I'd feel the visceral hatred for the idiocy and mental laziness of society if I didn't feel so alienated from it. I mean I have friends and ****, and I get along with my coworkers in general, but there's no getting around the fact that we're just on different wavelengths and that there's no helping it.
I'd not feel that way if I wasn't the type to feel that sort of antagonism to society in the first place, but the pushback from society has most definitely informed much of my emotional reaction to society, otherwise it would be a much more intellectual disdain. This has made me try as much as I can to take a step back and not take my emotional response to society at face value, and accept that maybe I'm just pissed off for my own self, but yeah, there's simply no way to get around the disillusionment that would happen regardless.
But maybe we really just are too different for our own experiences to educate one another. I don't know. But a lot of the things you've said about yourself have rung very true for me and meant more than just the words of some online ******* who's also depressed and ****.
