" In our (non-healthy) society, it’s the best way to make sure you spend your life in perpetual obscurity."
I've come to terms with spending my life in "perpetual obscurity" because at least I know that I'm not a genocidal-enabling monster who can as easily send 2,000 pound bombs to a genocide to mangle and burn children's bodies as they can order a martini or one of their propagandists who smugly sell these horrors as if it were detergent or toothpaste. I can live with not being a sociopathic hypocrite. Having empathy doesn't pay well (or offer health insurance in the US), but at least it keeps me sane. I'm thankful for all the other sane folks here at Caitlin's newsletter, too.
