I rarely get truly pissed off

But I’ll admit one thing that sets me off. It’s when folks, exclusively right wingers, tell me I only have my political beliefs because I haven’t experienced the “real world” yet I lose it.

I typed out a long thing but nobody wants to hear what I have to deal with.

My heart bleeds because I am in the real world, all day every day.

And if those same people had to deal with even a tenth of what I have to deal with every day it would break them.

I’m going to be vague because I can assure you, working for the government in the kinds of jobs I do is more of the real world than anyone ever wants to experience.

They have no idea the pain and suffering caused by everything they’re trying to conserve.

You're one of the very few people I can rely on to understand the implications of what I had to go through growing up in a conservative environment , shaped by fear and judgements.

I am blessed to have you in my life.

@PalteseMalconFunch Yep, there it is. You don't understand why people react this way to you. You're not smart enough to grasp it

@Gibbon I’ll tell you a story.

One of the people I work with (they’re a client) was acting erratic. His family begged to have him put in the state hospital. We said “no we don’t have the money to afford a bed for him”. Because of endless budget cuts.

They called the police and the mobile crisis team. They said “we can’t do anything until he does something.” Because of idiotic ideas of “freedom”.

So he did do something. And that something was beat his brother to death with a set of free weights.

So “they” are the people that caused that. The people that get mad at the government for spending money on unprofitable things like treating the mentally ill. That cripple us at every step of trying to help people that aren’t “a benefit to society”.

Thats probably the tamest story I can tell. You accused me of being vague, but there is a reason for that. Literally nobody wants to actually know.
