Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

I’ve always struggled to feel connected to groups I navigate through; my neighborhood, my class, my company — rarely have I felt like I belong.
Now, even my nationality feels wrong; I peer out upon a bizarre dystopia where a majority seems to *want* what’s happening, and more.
Where can I go?

I don’t think Elon Musk is a brilliant person, a clever person or even a smart person. I think he is actively unintelligent. Besides this, I think he is devoid of the personality traits that keep a person in the embrace of society. He is an antisocial person. A malignant narcissist.
