I'm so tired... (hexbear.net)

I'm so tired of feeling like I'm "crazy" because no one around me can realize that the US is not "on its way to becoming" Nazi Germany, but is in fact already Nazi Germany. I'm so tired of my history of psychosis making me think "Maybe I'm not the only one who can see clearly" as that's usually a red flag for me. I wish I could just close my eyes and be a lib again, but that's not healthy or useful. Besides, I don't think I can close my eyes. But I have a significant disability, so what can even do? I barely work now, and probably won't for much longer, so it seems organizing would be largely ineffective. Relying on government benefits, I'm just next in line for slaughter. Another voice disappearing into the void. I'm just so tired.

Makes me think of libs who both call Trump a traitor but also think calls to violence are beyond the pale, when the literal punishment for treason on the books is execution.

It's the idealism from the programming kicking in. Anyone who is at least somewhat aware of what's going on can tell you that the situation is far beyond procedure and shit like constitutional rights but people revert to proceduralism as the solution because of that narrow window of acceptable political discourse which gets imposed on society, as well as an abject lack of materialist analysis etc. etc.

It's kinda funny, y'know, I see a similar thing happen on a smaller scale when someone is being a chud so I insult their character and they cry ad hominem. It's like - bro, I took the gloves off intentionally and you're pointing out that I took the gloves off while appealing to adhere to the rules? Be serious for a minute. I'm not gonna adhere to convention about politeness and any demand that I must misses the point entirely because my intention was to be impolite. (Though when I do it it's became someone has said some shit that's absolutely abhorrent like advocating for euthanizing people so I don't give a damn about politeness and decorum at that point.)
