All of the things ;0)

Thanks! I'm finding it really difficult tbh, how to know what is authentically me and what is the result of all those years of the world telling me who I am. Queer theory says gender is performative but I didn't respond well to my training in the masculine stage show. Some people do, and are quite comfortable in that space, and more power to them, but finding another path is challenging when most of the people you care about are deeply uncomfortable with it and angrily try to push you off it and back on to the traditional one.

How do people in the country feel about punks?

This the same coping mechanism emblematic of that meme where the Nerd rejects that pregnant chick saying "why can't I find good men anymore". In the real world, if you don't have a balanced upbringing, you will self destruct later in life regardless of your wealth and skill in one particular domain. Doesn't mean that your current situation is your fault entirely but it doesn't make you special, just a loser. The quicker you snap out the delusion, the better you can adjust expectations and find true contentment with who you are.

Completely disagree. Ultimately we still live under capitalism. If humanity comes up with another way maybe this quote won't mean as much.

The world requires a blood sacrifice from us all. We can either sculpt that sacrifice in a way that it is beneficial to us, or the world will take from us in whatever way is most beneficial to it.
