    very true as scapegoats or controversies; i think that this is the first time we’re being used as virtue signals and i hate how well it works.

    it’s depressing to experience so many die at the hands of people who ignored us during the hiv/aids scare and then fucked up our lives with things like executive order 10450; dadt; doma; SB 1070; Proposition 187; & the 2005 student loan act and then end up with the younger minorities fighting for those same people tooth and nail.

    i suppose that’s why they’ve banned tiktok; to keep the young ignorant of the political baggage that created their circumstances and it sometimes makes me wish i was a little bit older so that the social disconnects inherent to each minority space i inhabit could let me be similarly ignorant of the younger generation’s indoctrination and the trajectory it’s taking us.
