Every time, just when I think I've found solace, I come across something that makes me feel alienated yet again. Whether it's finding out about a friend's concerning opinions, even if they didn't mean harm, or if its seeing literal plague rats infest anything and everything (even this very thread). At times I have to hold myself back from exploding on people and threatening them and wishing violence on them or on genuinely evil people. I've already lost a Discord account to that, no joke. I could retreat back into nostalgia, but then I would have to reckon that ruinous things were happening even then. I like old tech and aesthetics and either the powers that be want to take that away, or cloutchasers will make it the lamest fucking thing ever. Not to mention that several issues I have strong stances on have been subject to one of the most blatant yet distressingly successful shitcoat ops of all time.
Am I just doomed to be a wanderer? I've already drifted away from many communities. I'm a much different person than I was 5 years ago, and and that was already a far cry from what I was like 5 years prior, at least in terms of beliefs and personal tastes.
