      This reminds me of the people who say “let’s normalize X/not doing X” where it’s just their own personal boundary or preference.

      There’s an intelligent version of this where youre transcending a society built of horror and broken pieces and made to grind us into dust, thst isnt actually for anyone.

      And then there’s using it to justify not coping with your own bullshit.

      And yes the first is better and the second is infuriating, but there is still a point in there; society as it is shaped does suck, everything is horrible, and it excludes or discards a lot of people for stupid/no reason. It just doesnt mean you don’t suck it that you’re not an asshole; you can totally still be a total asshole who sucks, and is using everything else sucking as an excuse to not suck less.

      Which as excuses to suck go is pretty good, but an excuse to suck does not mean you dont suck.
