I am generally Twitter’s #1 fan but I find myself able to stomach it less & less recently. The “anti woke” — if they ever weren’t — have become just as tedious & predictable & tribal & omnipresently obnoxious as those they claim to oppose....
... People tell me I don’t understand how bad it’s gotten... but I’ve been in feminist & social justice spaces online since 2004. What I understand— better than anyone who thinks this is a new or rising phenomenon—is how bankrupt people will go becoming its foil —
—tuning themselves into nothing else but opposing the excesses of the progressive left—and how little that will make one dam bit of difference. You can temporarily become a centrist hero for it, sure, but the drama gadflys still buzz right on & the problems of the world persist
... and neither “the woke” or their full-time adversaries are left with anything but decades of internet drama, increasingly gross bedfellows, and a body of work that hasn’t helped affect a single damn change in anyone or anything. It won’t work out well for you, or for anyone
So, no. I don’t need to just wise up more to the ills & hypocrisies of one side or other. I know them all too well, I know where chasing them leads, and I have consciously chosen (on my better days, at least) to just opt out
To sum up in cat pic form: this face
