one thing that weirds me out is that am participating in discussions and ideologies where i have no skin in the game. i am an incredibly boring cis white male who doesn't smoke, rarely drinks, has no tattoos and drops acid maybe once a year. you'd think i fell out of california and the most radical thing i'd ever done was attend burning man.
the people who have skin in the game at risk of being hate crimed have provenance via their lived experience and some days i just feel like a tourist or god forbid a chaser for injecting myself into these activities. is it really surprising though that most of my technical and moral ability is on the fringes of the internet, and that fostering my altruism just happens to land on those who are marginalized in those fringes? idk.
i'm also a complete asshole and filter people who i find distasteful or annoying out for the greater good of my sanity so maybe my high horse sucks
