I know this sub can be split regarding following rules vs following them selectively. I try not to be too radical, but some laws and things seem like Bullshit, but you mention any alternative ideas and people bleep about how that is "far out there". Even growing up my mom said thing I stated were weird (ok mom, and Qanon is not).

I grew up listening to Alex Jones, reading Loompanics, and torrenting everything under the sun. Ludwig Von Mises, Pytor Kropotkin, Angela Davis, Qaddafi, the Unabomber, etc. . What is frustrating is if you reach outside the Overton Window people look at you strange. Nevermind only 60% of murders are solved, I have gotten liquids through the TSA multiple times (accidentally, but still), I ask for help from the police and get we will get back to you. It all seems like bullshit.

Yet if you point out NT inadequacy, they will shrug or call you crazy. I have ran for Office, I have been on a city planning board, and helped others run for office. I get some rules just seems ok (don't block a drive way with a campaign board), but then you have boomer jerks wanting to prevent people from selling their land.

Yet if you call bullshit on people preventing people from using farmland, ya know, to farm, people act like that is normal. But if you point out failing systems, people look at you like you are discussing alchemy.

​

Even discussing alternative ideas seems like something that assaults their sacred cow. This made me question whether to even "being myself" is worth it. Even my gf looks at me weird if I ask philosophical questions ( not even related to politics, more like related to determinism in the world and then regarding what happened in Skidmore , MO and whether that is ethical).it just seems like unless you want to talk sports, vacations, or what you are doing this weekend you are fucked. And people wonder why I feel shy. Because you will judge me.
