Oh For F*ck's Sake

My government has me dropping F-bombs in the title now.

I saw a link to one of my old posts this week that was very apologetic because it was a "quarterly political rant" that might "not be rated as PG as usual."

Yeah, that changed when my husband got sick and again when "the mean, shouty one" (per my then 8yo daughter) was elected.

Let me clear things up for you (where "you" means the asshats-allegedly-in-charge of this bullshit, and their supporters).

I am autistic, and I work and pay taxes.

Everyone uses pronouns, unless you speak a language without any personal pronouns (which I did write into a fanfic story once and it was a pain in the ass).

Even the President is supposed to follow the rules.

Doctor Who, Star Trek, superhero comics and their associated media, and a huge chunk of speculative fiction in general have always been "woke." Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a bad thing. You're just not that important, sorry.

Freedom of Speech does not apply to Facebook.

It absolutely does not matter that people online are "just looking for attention." Why do you care so much that you feel the need to comment (and then complain that they're still in your feed, since that's what engaging with the content does)? Perhaps you're just looking for attention.

"Autistic" may mean "has trouble with social cues." It is not a catch-all for excusing behavior like Nazi salutes.

The Paradox of Tolerance is real.

Many of those you call "demoncraps" or "libt**ds" are waaaayyyyyy further left than that.

From all reports, Jesus was woke af.

LGBTQIA2S+ people are not hurting you. The vast majority of them are not hurting anyone. They're just trying to live their lives, and God forbid some of it might be in public.

Vaccines work.

Yes, I do think it's ridiculous that you call liberal types "snowflakes" for wearing masks or vaccinating children when you feel the need to wear an arsenal to a grocery store.

The list of this kind of horsecrap goes on (and on and on). It would be laughably stupid if it wasn't so damn scary.
