Youre acting weird lately compared to your posting habits in the past.
2016 snyft never gave a flying fuck about politics to the extent this one does and didnt think that fringe memes about politics were "funny".
well...yes i admit i became a little...bitter

but i dont think its my fault, well at least not all of it!
for example, as you know, i live in serbia. and when i was little, whenever there was a gay parade, there was usually 2x that amount of ultra right wingers ready to beat the living shit out of them. i was like noooo thats not fair, they arent hurting anyone

! or for example it was normal to throw a gypsy (or anyone with a darker skin color) into a trash container on sight, no questions asked. basically anything that could be easily identified as "not a member of the group" would meet a very undesirable fate

!
anyways, 20 years later and the power shifted, not so much here but in the 1st world at least. those same people i supported until yesterday have now become extremely militant and much worse than the people that beat them up 20 years ago. gays now want to indoctrinate children. theres even trannies now that are accepted as normal, while back when i was at university, it was (rightly) classified as a severe mental illness. that voilent junkie/thief/rapist george floyd who threatened a pregnant woman at gunpoint, got his own monument for some reason

! the oppressed from yesterday became the oppressors today, and they are way worse and society is going to hell real fast
so what i realized can actually be summarized in one sentence
power changes all of us, and the extent of that change is directly proportional to our mental health before we had acquired that power 
and since gays and trannies had mental issues to begin with, in retrospective its not really a surprise how this whole thing turned out. if someone has to have the absolute power, i would rather it be some 100 kg blond chad with a wife, 3 kids and a golden retriever, than a woman who decided to mutilate her own body, calls herself a "trans man" now and her family is composed of 12 cats
tldr: im still the same guy

its just that the things that were funny yesterday are offensive now.. i didnt change that much, reception did :cry: i do want everyone to be happy, but i dont believe its possible anymore and if im forced to pick a side, it will be an easy choice for me

and politics is everywhere now and its quite a shitshow, so its kinda funny to joke about it :blush: !
