    What is it about western Anglo brain that makes you feel so privileged in your ignorance as to be comfortable making these grandiose and absurd statements that could truly only spring from the mind of a simpleton?

      Imo it’s the individualist dogma of everyone being entitled to their opinion and the associated implication that everyone’s opinion is valid and worth hearing.

        I read this, and I’m suddenly realizing that I’ve never truly felt entitled to my own opinion, but also have never felt like anybody’s opinion really matters, and that explains a lot of why I don’t get along in society.

        I’m a stupid dumbass. Why doesn’t everybody else also realize and admit what a fucking idiot they are?
