That’s now my opinion on everything related to ethics, morality, sexism, racism or any other form of oppression; just deal with it.
It’s been a rough night in the world of the non brain-dead. I start off the night with this crap:
http://events.murdoch.edu.au/event/why-im-not-an-atheist/
Oh yes, it’s real.
I find that fucking irritating from the get go. That’s my university hosting a bloody lecture about how atheism isn’t practical and, let me directly quote this, “… the truth uncovered under a smokescreen of ‘I don’t believe in anything:’ God.”. Are you for real? God, as in aChristian God, is behind my own personal belief that we can never know either way that there is a god or any gods or of that superstitious supernatural crap? That’s what this person wants to say?
I’m still trying to work out whether I can do what all other religious minorities do in the face of this idiocy and just claim that it’s offensive/oppressive/hurtful. You know; play the victim. It just gets me. I’d normally be furious for an hour and just think, “HEY! I CANNOT LET THIS SLIDE. I’LL PROTEST AND START A GROUP AND THE LIKE!” and eventually I just write up some shitty post on the internet like a whining baby.
GO ME.
Next, the feminists start arcing up. I have had it with feminists. They are starting to annoy me with their constant barrage of “equality” and “sexism”. They’re chasing shadows and overreacting and no one calls them out on it because it’s “sexist” and a symptom of a male dominated society.
You want gender equality? You want the scales to be equal? Then look at both sides of those metaphorical scales and you balance them up. You don’t just lump weight on one side.
So, I’ve given up on all this crap. I just can’t wrap my head around the denial of some people and the idiocy of everyone, including myself. I’m going back to my big lists of sayings, mottos and quotes and I’m picking this one: deal. Deal with it.
People can do what they want and I cannot change their minds. I cannot change it with reasoned arguments or by pointing out the gaping holes in their own arguments. I cannot pierce the wall of politics and change things there. I just can’t change anything of any value.
So, I’m sort of getting back in touch with my cynical roots. I’m exploring the idea that nothing is ever going to change and I’ve found out one thing.
I just don’t care.
What do you think?
