    This kind of thing terrifies me. I think there’s a solid chance that that particular tweet is a joke, but the idea that there are people out there honestly concerned with the “woke mind virus” and about how women are this and that is horrifying.

    Even more, the possibility that I’m just blind to my own insanity is what really fucks me up. What if they’re right and I’m crazy? Seeing so much insanity that you just have to wonder if your own sanity has been compromised.

      Keep asking yourself this. Try to honestly see things from their point of view. It makes you stronger. To paraphrase Sun Tzu,

      • if you only think through your own beliefs, you’ll have a 50-50 chance of success.
      • if you think through your own beliefs, AND understand your adversary’s point of view, you will always succeed.
      • if you do neither, you will always fail.

        Yeah, I reckon it’s good to question one’s own beliefs and presuppositions. Still, it’s upsetting.
