I Just Don't Belong in this Century.

I just don't. Everything is weird and creepy, the people are strange. Every day I see what us geeks would call NPC's (non-playable characters), and everyone it seems is hyper-emotional, irrational, and can't even think their way to the end of a simple syllogism.

It never used to be like this. Well, I suppose to some extent it could be argued that the world has always been batshit crazy, but over the last 15 year or so it's just... I don't know what to say. It's gone completely bonkers. Now, apparently, if you "identify" as a snake or an octopus, well then that's what you ARE. No, reality actually doesn't work that way! Reality doesn't care about what you "feel" is true. It is what it is regardless of that.

And what's all this crap about UFO's, the Illuminati, the NWO, Flat-Earth conspiracy and all that other junk? Seriously? Do you actually believe that crap?

No, I didn't sign up for this rubbish. This is not my planet.
Nobody is identifying as a snake or an octopus. That's just anti-trans right wing hysteria from the idiots who thought schools were letting kids who identified as cats relieve themselves in litter boxes. None of this actually happened.

The crap about UFOs, the Illuminati, the NWO, and flat earth goes back decades. People believed other stupid crap in the past, like the Satanic Panic in the 80s when everyone thought their kid's daycare was performing diabolical rituals.

Just ignore the nonsense when you can and confront it when you can't. But it is easy to avoid most of the time. Just keep scrolling. Nobody is forcing you to engage with any of this if you don't want to. Personally, I'm more concerned about my vote being counted and fascism being shoved down my throat.
@LeopoldBloom You're just being a troll now, aren't you. You'd have to be, because I can't imagine anyone seriously saying with a straight face that, "Joe Biden is fine". He clearly isn't, even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can see that.
I don't watch PragerU, although I have seen it. And if you think communist China should be admired... well, if that's the case then I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Good Bye!
@Bellatrix2083 You just hate Joe Biden and worship Traitor Tot. Even right wing outlets are concerned about his last speech.

If you think the capitalists who massacred and enslaved people all over the world should be admired, you're not just brainwashed, you're evil. I'm sure you'll block me now, thats always the response from cowards like you.

Feeling that you don't belong is a positive sign. We all have to find our own path, time and place. Be strong, stay with it. In the end you can make it your "own".

Now apparently if you “identify”as a snake or an octopus well then that’s what you ARE. No, reality actually doesn’t work that way! Reality doesn’t care about what you “feel” is true. It is what it is regardless of that.

I’ve seen that simplistic argument ad nauseum until it’s getting difficult to continue to answer politely those who refuse to understand.

Two words that mean two different things have commonly been used interchangeably, such that I didn’t know the difference between them until about 10-20 years ago: sex and gender. Sex is biological, it refers to what chromosomes and anatomical parts you have. Gender, on the other hand, is your role in society. It is neither necessary that your gender corresponds to your sex, nor that your gender even falls within the male/female binary. Does that mean that gender is not “real”? No, there’s more to human life than sex and biology. People who identify as something other than male or female are as “real” as people who prefer to use their left hand for most tasks.

Misgendering someone the first time is understandable, it’s an honest mistake; however, when someone tells you their gender and you refuse to accept it, you’re being a dick just like if I told you my name was Roger and you insisted on calling me Bob, Sally, or Francis the Talking Mule instead.

@Bellatrix2083 Here’s another hint: reality doesn’t care if you delete facts because you don’t like them. It is what it is regardless of that.
@Theyitis I deleted his message because he was being a rude and obnoxious troll. Plus he's clearly deluded and out of touch with reality.
@therighttothink50 He was right.

I think what you’re experiencing is something I have watched happen over the last decade. So many people have stopped having real life interactions, especially the younger ones and especially the younger males. The whole world is but a screen, I think it’s very interesting that so many of these people that believe wild and crazy ass shit seem to have very little real world experience they want everything fed to them

To advocate for logic, you're seemingly emotional over things that isn't dangerous or hurting you nor something you can control.

I'm curious. Do you find that people are like that in "real life"? Because I only see this kinda stuff online. Maybe I don't get around enough, but I don't see a lot of this in my immediate circle of friends and family.

I DO see them get sucked into binary political stuff like Trump, the Covid vaccines, etc, but not ridiculous, childish stuff like this...

I identify as a duck billed platypus. I demand everyone treat me as such.
