    I am going insane.

    I think the absolute worst part is that I am the one being treated like I’m stupid for being college educated or for just having common sense.

    Its like trying to talk and every time you do 20 toddlers scream and shit thier pants at the same time.

    There’s a minority in the US that is both loud and smells. Unfortunately, they drown the rest of us out, and make a bad taste in everyone else’s mouth that I can’t blame them for.

    The Anti-intellectualism has been a thing for years though, it’s suddenly exploded because it hit critical mass and they finally got one of thier guys elected while the rest of us were looking the other way (or in my case, too young to vote.)

    Now? Being stupid is being smart. Being contrarian is being patriotic, money is God. Up is down, the sky is green.

    I heard a teacher say Moscow was in Ukraine yesterday. No amount of pointing to it on a fucking map could convince her otherwise.

    I am. Going. Insane.

          Currently dying of heat in Zagreb. It used to be way less extreme and colder, and I am not even that old. In the last 6 years it has gotten exponentially worse year on year.
