Whatever my personal feelings on the matter, it is clear the Left is no home for me. The Right isn't either, but I can no longer in good conscience consider myself a leftist.
This is perhaps late. Maybe I should have done this earlier. Idk. But here I am now. 1/
First, the complete and utter condescion from liberals and Leftists has become deafening

Acting superior was an impulse I fought against. I attempted empathy. I know I failed at times. But I tried because I know im young and know very little. I cannot stand the condescension

Next, the amount of actually racist and borderline fascist rhetoric they spew because latinos "stepped out of line" is genuinely upsetting.

First as a Native American, I feel my worth only matters so long as I fulfill a liberals expectations of how I should act or *be*.

Second, I always held anarchistic sympathies. Just give me a house and a real opportunity to make a decent living and have enough time for my hobbies, friends and family, and leave me alone. I know that isnt how the world works. But gulags aren't ok b/c our enemies are in them

2016 left a bad taste in my mouth.
2020 is far worse.
Prop 22 passing and NPR calling it a "victory for social justice" is inexcusable.
The attitudes of liberals are inexcusable.
The Big Tech fuckery is inexcusable.
The capitulation to big business is inexcusable.

I dont know what I am anymore. Besides tired.

I'm going to continue working on my own ideas. Call them leftist, right-wing, whatever. IDGAF. Just here to think and chat. If you want to go on that journey with me, im on twitter, medium, and substack.

Love you all friends.
