Just had to out this somewhere and this is probably the most safe space for it.

I am an ultra left anarchist so i support any progress shift in us political polls and i do get it.

I dont and wont ask people to stop using effective political memes. But whenever i see a top comment labeled these bad people as weird, i feel like i too would not be accepted, even if i know thats not what its about.

Sorry.

Hell no, please continue to share your feelings and thoughts wherever you please, just know that there are a very small minority of people who enjoy seeing others suffer to feel better about their own shitty feelings.

The fact that you identify as weird doesn't make you unique, so please don't bet on hedging the foundation of your personality on that and then in consequence get troubled enough about it to post online for random strangers to validate you.

You are fucking powerful and weird and amazing. You don't need dipshits on the internet to empower that, you should own it.
