it was stupid and absurd because it always was and it still is and still will be and this weird thing in your chest fluttered painfully because things are painful and were painful and it's so hard living as a privileged white male or a suppressed black woman but no one cares and no one listens because no one ever does and no one ever will because there has to be a power, right? we have to have some imbecile in charge to misguide us and lead us into wars and genocide and make some of our more racist characters turn against the people whose skin looks a bit different but no one cares about skin anymore, no one cares about that blemish on your nose because no one can see through the acid eating away at their eyes that was thrown at them ages ago but they didn't notice, not when they had more important things to do like degrade some people and what's the fucking navy going to do, save you from this hell you've created? get over yourself, you aren't important.
