I'll never really understand how the idea that people have distinct lives and lived experiences that differentiate from other kinds of people, became such a heated melting down-foaming at the mouth kind of debate. Or that it is even considered a debate. How can people who aren't reactionaries or propagandists become so angry over it? Life is many different kinds of lives with many different kinds of people, all rubbing up against the other. And this is living life in the real world, people grappling with this complicated and nagging reality. Is this why so many are mad over it? Why is this considered intellectually lazy or elite college brainwashing? Maybe those people are more insecure in the world and their identities in it than they can bear to admit. Idk. Though they should figure that out before the fascists dismantle the capabilities of people to publicly speak about themselves and question their own lives. For one to be able to interrogate the place they occupy in the world, does it make pushing that boulder back and forth up the hill more bearable or is it more painful for them?
