I Like Old Fashioned Things

[c=#804600][b]BEWILDERED[/b]

I never realized what kind of person I have become in today’s world.

The following is a recap of my current identity:

I was born a white male, which makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobe.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which makes me an infidel.

I am older than 65 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.

I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which makes me anti-socialist.

I acquired my education without student loans and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd underachiever.

I believe in the defence and protection of the country by all citizens, which makes me a militarist.

Newest problems – I'm not sure which toilet I should use. Nor whether I should talk about you as he or she or zie.

I, sir, am roughly half your age (going by your profile), and I have the same problem.

(And I hope you don't actually believe all the labels you attached to yourself and you're just mocking a certain element of modern society!)

@AngieB Obviously. It's not "me" - it's all of us. This piece is SATIRE. I am understanding that my friends don't get satire. Yet it is one of the great literary forms.

I didn't write it myself, picked it up online somewhere
