Day 67 - This But That and Well I Suppose That but Equally This and to be Fair That Other Thing is Somewhat the Case but Saying That There's That and of Course This and Also That

With FPL over I'll be making a semi-cathartic semi-maddening return to overthinking venting. I'm hoping that sooner rather than later I'll have vented all I have to vent and then bring some more variety to my writing. Either that or I'll completely run out of ideas. I was quite enthusiastic when I first started this blog but its often an explosion of mental dirge. I'm clearly annoyed. 

Whilst I'm still dirging, here's another one for ya! Is anxiety amplified by the left? The right don't seem anxious. The left is the main culture which embraces sympathy for anxiety, but is it also a significant cause of it? Fear of slight deviations from its prescripted doctrine causing an imposition of severe scrutiny and judgement is pretty anxiety inducing. Simultaneously, the left's ability to create a culture of both fear and compassion is a real double-speak headfuck. No wonder we are anxious.

Blaming the broad term "the left" is obviously an oversimplification as a lot of this tension isn't completely partisan and is also amplified online so not entirely aligning to reality. But still, sometimes it's easier to oversimplify a bit, otherwise you get in a right mess of caveats and second guessing which ultimately leaves you with a confused conclusion something along the lines of "this but that and well I suppose that but equally this and to be fair that other thing is somewhat the case but saying that there's that and of course this and also that but and this and then that those but and then he what I that this how but who and where and no but yes and maybe but hmm and that's true but at the same time on the other hand aaaaaauuuuuugggghhhh!!!"
