Insincere Thank you for your submission of infinite skeleton keys.
Unfortunately, we are only accepting more and more cage-like at this point.

Die,

I think if you truly want to connect with people, then it is impossible to want to position yourself as a superior and people that are not yourself as inferior

So saying this another way, I think the authentic inspiration to connect naturally is antithetical to inequitable power dynamics

“I use social media for mobility/positioning myself in reality

Yet I also will chaste-eyes/mock people by saying social media is not reality”
[relates w conflation, fucking up aspect ratios by using inconsistent extremes in language, which represents inconsistent extremes in thought/behavior/body]

weird how each generation raises the next (& is raised by the previous-ish) yet seemingly each generation is oft-repulsed by + repellent to + alienating + antagonistic to each next+previous generation

& few folk of any of the gens acknowledges their part in perpetuating this self-hating/confliction

I think you can learn a lot about the current character of a person by how they respond to wearing/receiving the crown/crowd/ring

Just as you can learn a lot about the current character of a person by how they respond to not wearing/not receiving the crown/crowd/ring

“words matter! Language matters! That’s why I’m a journalist/writer/mouthpiece!”

[except when i say that ackshually (my) words don’t matter, (my) language doesn’t matter

And i refuse to acknowledge the absurdity of my own contradictions + incongruency + misrepresenration + inconsistency]

One of the stupid and shitty things about being honest (as best you can) and not allowing yourself to be compelled by dictatorial/Controll-ur motivations is that the (seemingly) vast majority of people are not being honest and are allowing themselves to be compelled by dictatorial motivations

I think if you are going to platform yourself as some source/voice of truth and representation and enjoy/reap the rewards of that platforming then you have to be accountable for your voice/expression + impression…

The thrashing, lashing, and recoiling of vanilla fragility

As it thrashes, lashes, and recoil with and against itself

“ I’m not fragile, you’re fragile!
And if I am fragile, I’m superior in the fragility/not the most fragile and you are inferior in the fragility/more/most fragile!”

How (many) people being fake/deceptive/full of shit fuck it up (burn the people bridge of trusting people, or even listening+relating w people w/out relatively severe skepticism/doubt/defensiveness) for (some) people that are real/honest/representative of humanity (but buried under the bull’s shit)

“I think you are exiting (coming from) a place you do not understand (do not know), and you are entering (going into) a place you do not understand (do not know), so it may be best for you to be open and respectfully curious, rather than closed and disrespectfully certain.”

It’s very stupid how a significant number of people, otherwise seemingly passing themselves off as sophisticated, literally operate by “well if they keeping making stuff, I/we have to buy it, no matter what it is and no matter how shitty + dehumanizing + debilitating it is, I/we just have to do it!”

How the compulsion to “fit-in, get in, find:feel one’s place/oats, make a name for oneself, access resources, feel worthy, not feel inferior, feel superior, not feel inadequate/insecure/unreal/un-valuable, feel adequate/secure/real/valuable, JuSt TrYiNg To GeT A-hEaD”…

It’s painful to perceive Internet People bantering/arguing about “what’s/who’s cool” with an air of confidence and authority belied by their alienation from experiencing - thus absent understanding, knowing by feel, by trustworthy touch - it from the inside-out

Unchecked competition Fosters rushing to be the 1st/in front without acknowledgment of passage, and absent any consideration of the true costs and benefits of endlessly rushing to be the 1st/in front without acknowledging passage

Denial can be challenging to passage/break/emerge thru

“On both sides”

Trying to get through the denial of recognition from the outside-in as well as the inside-out perspective

Especially online

The online space makes denial so easy, esp for a people already deeply pathologizing in it offline

It would be sweet to figure out a way to separate the people that complain because they are bitch ass mfers, complaining because of that which is disproportionately reflective of their lack of development/user error/skill issue…

Maybe this relates to some elements currently happening, in the words of Jim Morrison:

“people are strange,
When you’re a stranger

Women seem wicked
When you’re unwanted “

I saw this reportedly posed by a bad faith shill of anti-ness, so I’m responding here:

Q: “what’s the point of standards?”

A: “there isn’t necessarily a single ‘point’ of standards, that’s reductive/flattening/misrepresentative + bad faith framing

there are countless ‘points’ of standards

Here is a relatively insidious pattern that I witnessed people doing on here and elsewhere online and off-line, including people that otherwise position themselves as fair, equal, humane, and progressive:

Existing in the place of people of intra- + inter- acceleration

Is like being surrounded by bullets

And trying to engage with the people of intra- + inter- acceleration is like trying to catch bullets
