the response ofc was to learn to value oneself. u are important, owed compassion etc. “valid” is the word that gets thrown around a lot. this is good in that it’s key to building self-esteem to escape abuse

so here are screencaps of the three in question reacting in this way

specifically, these posts get at what made them support me being ostracised on their behalf by refusing to intervene

1. my overly-harsh letter made lu anxious, so i had to be removed to protect him. makes sense, right? doesn’t matter what he’d done or what friends i lost, right?

2. my criticism of 1ups not standing up for me was distressing so it deserved a rant about her feelings and no engagement w mine and how she could help, right?

3. jeff’s character was under attack so his behaviour that’d provoked my (over)reaction was not worth mentionin, right?

let me draw an analogy w/ modern trends in social justice

in the real world, opinions on trans activism are split, but in the case of pro women’s sports specifically, v few ppl side w/ the activists. it’s due to the raison d’être of women’s sports that trans participation has—

to be controlled (i dont mean banned). however (or maybe therefore?) when u listen to semenya, leah thomas etc. talk about it, they don’t engage w the collective issue at all, only talk about their individual perspective – i want to be included, being excluded victimises me, etc.

in right-wing discourse, this is referred to as “narcissism”. it’s not fair to call wanting to have your oppression/victimhood validated that

but it’s still nuts to me that these victims seemingly never see past themselves into the bigger picture

if anything, the culture’s gotten so warped that we should tell ppl to stop validating themselves and start being humble, dutiful, loyal again, to their friends and collectives

i must be insane to read 1ups interpret getting me banned for calling her disloyal once, me whom she—

called her best friend for years, as “getting away from ppl who make me uncomfortable”. just any old ppl innit

again it’s not that people shouldn’t be empowered to leave me if things don’t work out, but it’s the selfishness to think it’s worthy of ostracising me

with this mentality, everyone is a victim, and no1 will ever leave victimhood. so what happens when u have conflicting claims of victimhood? well, what has happened?

i won over him whom the public liked less than me, and lost vs them whom they liked more than me. simple really

this culture is a big way in which american liberalism has sold out its left-wing roots and turned evil

imagine telling a socialist w a str8 face that your victimhood needs/ego rise above another’s to where u will cancel ur enemy while not even talking to reconcile + compromise

i get that, like, liberalism for non-privileged americans has basically turned into a struggle to assert your “valid”ity in a culture designed to exploit and class-oppress u for all u have. trans rights has become in-fighting to distract from what’s truly making erry1 miserable

(yes that needs more explanation; another day) my point is, i get that we’re all victims and shit on one another cos hyper-capitalism debased us

doesn’t mean those 3 are not selfish dickheads. don’t think it’s worth living in a world where compromise is a losing strategy [13/13]
