Etc.
Etc.

@Jazzy_Butts i have a ton of controversial stories, most in school or college, not sure if that constitutes drama you're interested in
@Jazzy_Butts my bad got busy. plenty i can think of but a recent one was getting suspended from college

i was going to a private liberal arts school to mess around with the humanities. polisci, history, anthro was what i've been studying for years already & teachers often called me a polemicist at different schools. butt heads a lot in the Political Science courses. however, it was in a 'history of europe' course that i got nailed.

skipping minor arguments in there for typing's sake we inevitably got to the history of jewry in europe. the polish professor had made a point asserting they were a common scapegoat for europeans' insecurity - unwillingness to take personal responsibility.

i contested, arguing this overlooks a great deal of the story. the professor and i went back and forth over examples of incidents as far back as 60 AD to as recent as Weimar, a redheaded kid chimed in by saying he was highly offended that the professor was even allowing this conversation to occur. he claimed there was no basis in fact or history to support it, that it was a delusion. this dragged on to a good half hour until the professor said class was dismissed. the professor, myself, the redhead, and the redhead's friend stayed behind. we continued discussing, the redhead then said he was offended because he himself is Jewish and the teacher is likewise. he remarked that if i'm so confident in what i'm saying, prove it.

so, later in the day, i offhandedly but wrote up a 3,000 word essay with sources and all, emailed it to the aforementioned. turned into another back & forth with the professor, the redhead on the otherhand decided he was apalled and sent it to the Dean of the college, saying he felt intimidated. threatening to sue if i weren't expelled. the board of inclusion did some investigating to determine the severity of the issue. a campus restraining order was placed to keep me out of the same building as him due to his saying he was paranoid i'd attack him for his background (weird leap). about a week after the mes, security came to my room to question me, he wrote a letter saying he was having trouble sleeping knowing i'm a student at the same university.

this blew up into an impromtu 'class court' hearing over a Zoom call; board of inclusion as the Jury and several faculty as Judge. redhead as complaintant, his best friend as witness, and me as defendant. went on for 6 whole hours -in 2 parts. i streamed the entire thing in my server to my friends bc it was ridiculously funny. i had 3 charges against me / 1 - ahistorical or dishonest student 2 - disruptive 3 - source of harassment. i argued the first 2 charges away, getting former & current professors to comment on my conduct, the consensus was that i was 'intelligent with unfortunate interests'. the professor i had argued with verbatim commented 'gifted but misguided'.

the third charge was immovable because according to the student handbook, harassment lies upon how someone else feels, notwithstanding intention or actual harassing occuring. so, i was slapped with a suspension for four months under the condition that i take a correctional class on how to be more tolerant with my work and only use sources approved by the college.

long winded but that's the short version lol

@doorroo Oy vey, someone questioned the tribe, get the zoom call set up!! It's this sort of reaction that causes people to dislike them regardless of their identity.

@Jazzy_Butts that's why i streamed it. wanted to put on display that it is a real phenomena. technically wasn't allowed to since two-party consent state.
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts this anti-bullying move to defining all forms of harassment as per the victim's point of view is a really stupid oversight. It was very noticeable in discussions during corporate training meetings over no sexual harassment/discrimination tolerance policies; in every case now it comes down to cancel culture. Literally anybody can spew some bullshit claiming they feel insulted, offended, threatened, etc - and that's it, they're automatically the winner.

in specific examples, used in these discussions with HR and in practice, you could have two people on break, outside the building, smoking and talking or joking with each other or even talking about a completely benign subject. If ONE person happens to walk up to them and hears a single word they don't like, they can claim harassment. If you so much as glance at somebody in passing and they want to, they can claim harassment and you instantly end up suspended or fired.

beefing up the anti-harassment rules/laws to protect people who were otherwise forced to suffer actual harassment and discrimination was a good idea, but it was very poorly executed in practice, and put into law and corporate policies that only serves to invent criminals where there aren't any.

....and this tendency to scream "that's antisemitic!" at literally fucking everything that mentions a jew or anything related to jews, and even when a conversation has nothing at all to do with jews, is the same fucking issue. The modern jew is not a victim, they aren't victimized. They are acting like victims for clout and benefits, and to conceal corruption (setting aside cases where it goes from "banker jew" memes into trying to prove this or that person in whatever position you don't like is a jew and whipping up stupid conspiracies where there aren't any).

For having suffered a genocide and being a victimized minority, there seem to be an awful lot of "jews" literally everywhere.

Thing is, most of those are just regular fucking people living regular fucking lives. But some of them do take advantage of the pity they've convinced society we all owe them, and they act like they have some sort of legal immunity to any form of criticism or rational discussion or the fucking truth if it doesn't benefit them directly.

It's literally the same thing black american kids do in upper/middle class schools when they bring up racism and slavery and as they are owed groveling by the white kids sitting next to them. Difference is, the jews have been successful with this ploy on a massive scale almost worldwide, and to the point it's literally illegal to research the holocaust.

this sort of corruption fucking infuriates me. And the absurdity of people who get offended over banker-jew memes (when it's a fact that those all-powerful evil bankers actually are jews) is funnier than th ememes themselves. I can't count the number of times I've said things that were not even memes or insults, that some butthurt person who wasn't even part of the conversation declared was some antisemitic slur.

it's fucking bullshit. Retarded, with a capital R. And the more stories like this I hear of them being spoiled, shitty little princesses and actively ruining someone's live over some bullshit need to abuse the politically correct pity factor, the more I come to despise anyone who takes jewish ancestry seriously. Especially in the modern era, where EVERY ethnicity is getting heavily mixed with everything else. Fucking ethnicity doesn't fucking matter. It never did, really. It was never a good reason to discriminate against people, and it has never been a good excuse to play the "racial victim" card either.

Rant aside, disclaimer would like to inform y'all that I am not only white and male and not a jew, I have friends who ARE black, who ARE jews, and a few who are actually both. I'm not racist. I'm not antisemitic. I don't judge fuckers for skin color or who the hell their great-grand-mum was, I judge them for being the fuckers they are.

🖕a'ight i think i'm spent on ranting for now.
@bitterblossom @Jazzy_Butts @doorroo

> If you so much as glance at somebody in passing and they want to, they can claim harassment and you instantly end up suspended or fired.

tbh if there is a 'point' to this instance its (at least originally / predominantly) being a bunch of trannies/femboys that could out-edgelord everyone else to the point where ppl are submitting bogus reports to our host cuz their sensibilities were offended / spamming us with gore cuz we posted a selfie and we can make fun of it being so low-res or whatever

(& then at least for me - try and channel that back into genuine friendship and positivity and construction because at the end of the day i really want to be a nice, pleasant person and have conversations w/ ppl)

but its been really fascinating to see when ppl are trying to put out some jaded persona to just completely implode in the same way they complain about other ppl doing lol
@rats @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo some people are truly hateful and wont let others in their bubble at any cost
@rats @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo well, without compromising on one's own beliefs. i'm not gonna back down on what i believe to be fact, just because someone doesn't want to deal with me
@Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @rats thing is, everyone touts their knowledge as fact, and that's where we reach an impasse
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @doorroo @rats not everyone

it's a minority, but some people do acknowledge that they are not in fact omniscient and perfect and all that.

there's been a few times i've been corrected on different matters here on fedi and been forced to change what i think (for instance, there was a point i thought jews were only bound by religious heritage; didn't realize it was actually a genetic thing).

that said, i'm a stubborn fuck and a heavy thinker even if don't always have words for shit, so i'm usually very adamant about my stances when i do have something to say. i also tend to look at the larger picture and refuse to let myself get stuck in some tiny little box, so when i see people who clearly don't understand even half of what i'm taking for granted, no amount of convincing is going to budge my thinking until they can bring some point to my attention that exists outside my current perspective on the subject (very rarely does anyone manage to actually do so).

@bitterblossom @opal @doorroo @rats Once someone said indica was the stimulant weed and sativa was the sedative weed, I politely suggested I have heard otherwise, I went from their favorite person to their most hated enemy

@Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @rats it's weird because i have a bad baseline anxiety, such that indica actually helps me focus, whereas sativa just gives me a headache
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo i have very bad baseline anxiety so both of them just put me in the fetal position while i can only think about how my friends pity me because they think im pathetic
@rats @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom every strain makes me feel off, i can't explain why. from a bong, a pen, a flower, i get a deep worry that someone is trying to get into my head and i get like, hyper-aware of my body. i can't find any explanation or similar posts about it for some reason. when i use either type of weed moving my eyes or blinking hurts, i can feel my hair moving, my tongue gets really CRT staticy, my vision gets blurry. scary
Follow

@doorroo @bitterblossom @rats @opal For some that static is a comfort, a white noise finally covering the horrors of this world

@Jazzy_Butts @doorroo @bitterblossom @rats i like the brain fog, but i hate cottonmouth. the staticky tongue sounds like dry mouth honestly
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats when i say static i mean cottonmouth and my whole body feeling asleep yeah. my friends gave me a bong rip last month, immediately happened, whole body felt numb. shrooms a few weeks ago, same thing. i put my hands on my abs and it feels like i'm touching someone else, on my face and it feels like i'm touching beneath my skin. white noise as a sound is bliss but as a tactile sensation is hell

@doorroo @bitterblossom @rats @opal That sounds like normal reactions to me tbh, not for normal people of course but that sounds about right to me

@Jazzy_Butts @doorroo @bitterblossom @rats yeah i was about to say, "welcome to weed" lol

cottonmouth: stay hydrated. altered tactile sensations: cannabis highs share some similarities with other psychedelics, so especially your sense of touch may be affected. your sense of self may be affected. i've had an OOB experience off a joint before, it was scary but fascinating once i realised what it was
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @rats I've dissociated exactly once while high, it was my first time and took a much bigger hit than I really should've
Once I got my bearings it was workable
Felt like I could feel the future
@AbNormal @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo

> ve dissociated exactly once while high, it was my first time and took a much bigger hit than I really should've

this is crazy to me because i am like chronically dissociating + experiencing derealization / depersonalization, like so much for so long that i get convinced im a figment of other ppls imaginations with some regularity
@rats @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo I mean tbh I've had a few of those sober, but this was one I could point my finger at the weed and say that's the reason
@rats @opal @Jazzy_Butts @doorroo @AbNormal hasn't happened to me in a long time but i had bouts of that sort of jaded surrealism during stretches of extreme depression and apathy. was not pleasant, and i feel like it actually crippled my emotional capacity.
@rats @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @AbNormal ive had chronic dissociation for years but now its fairly manageable, and if it happens again, i know it isnt my ideal state of mind. i think of it as a defence mechanism because every time i dissociate, it's because there's a huge underlying stress that i don't want to deal with
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @AbNormal

> there's a huge underlying stress that i don't want to deal with

Yeap


Yape

Yeha
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @AbNormal

we'll see. it actually means a lot hearing it from you. things feel hopeless but there's a new part of me that feels like it's growing, something saying "i don't want to die" that isnt just some primal instinct but something that actually has a voice

some form of hope has been returning for the first time in a long time
@opal @AbNormal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo at any rate i appreciate this thread but might mute it now to clear up some brain bandwidth <3
@rats @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @doorroo @AbNormal i'm pretty sure we have a lot of internal experiences in common. to me it felt like a tunnel i would never reach the end of, but i'm more-or-less out of it now. it's possible, but i would be lying through my teeth to say that it's easy. it takes time
@rats @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @AbNormal is there a term for the opposite of that? being convinced the average person you encounter is a figment of your own imagination? with how much i move around i run into different people all the time and in the back of my mind i always wonder why it feels like everyone else is the same person save for a few persons that stand out.
@Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal @opal maybe partly. i believe my own mind is absolute reality and everyone who affirms my mind or has a mind i can respect and connect to is a part of reality, then there are billions of stragglers as filler.
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal i've read into shadow work, that's Jungian if i remember right. my problem with it is i don't believe i have a 'shadow', i see myself as direct and have several selves that work together to make me but i don't exactly hide them, i just don't think the average person would understand it if i expressed it so i let certain parts chill out. i could be thinking of the shadow concept wrongly
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal
>In analytical psychology, the shadow (also known as ego-dystonic complex, repressed id, shadow aspect, or shadow archetype) is an unconscious aspect of the personality that does not correspond with the ego ideal, leading the ego to resist and project the shadow. In short, the shadow is the self's emotional blind spot

the essence of this doesn't change much when dealing with multiple egos / senses of self. i'm plural and i still consider myself to do shadow work, because my tulpa's ego isn't as formed as my own and i intentionally did that so that i could work myself out better
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal hmm perhaps i'll give it a once over. the egos that argue and conflict with me, causing me stress and breakdowns every so often, i've wanted to work that out
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal tyty, all of the branches of these conversations stemming from my suspension story have been stimulating
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal i worked out all i wanted to for now, my main concerns now are with the outside world and what i need to do to get into a more comfortable life situation. i can easily cast my ego aside now and just "be". the ego makes some things easier but other things way more difficult. when i'm outside my ego, i tend to be able to think 100% practically and with limited emotion, so it's nice to be able to have that perspective when i need it
@doorroo @AbNormal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats
>"A man who is possessed by his shadow is always standing in his own light and falling into his own traps...living below his own level."
this quote resonates with me, and it shows that i still have some work to do, because i find myself still making mistakes that feel like i'm just being absentminded, and it makes me feel like shit. it's happening less often now though
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats @AbNormal mm, i feel that, it has been on my mind recently. i have a variety of opportunities i can get into (friends asking me to help with their businesses, family offering this or that, colleges accepting me) that i completely snub bc i go with impulsive decisions, constantly ignoring or downplaying options that'd lead to comfort, in favour of a spontaneous interest.
@doorroo @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @AbNormal

> with how much i move around i run into different people all the time and in the back of my mind i always wonder why it feels like everyone else is the same person save for a few persons that stand out.

fregoli

> The Fregoli delusion is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person who changes appearance or is in disguise. The syndrome may be related to a brain lesion[1][2] and is often of a paranoid nature, with the delusional person believing themselves persecuted by the person they believe is in disguise.
@doorroo @AbNormal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @opal half-joking, but the way you put it made it sound like fregoli

could be more derealization if its more like everyone/everything feels fake
@rats @opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @AbNormal a single person who changes appearance and is in disguise is an accurate representation of various popular culture figures and internet personalities to me
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats hmm idk if it's that simple really. drinking makes my throat sore and the blinking, moving eyes, moving limbs, hurts severely. and this hasn't happened before until after my 20th birthday. i've smoked 3 times this year and had 2 edibles this year, each time was the same pain, last time before this year was 2019 and my first time was 2018, didn't bother me. that's my main confusion
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats i didn't mean to encourage alcohol use, i was just dependent on alcohol at the time

>idk if it's that simple really.
everyone is different, just saying what worked for me
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @rats OHH i thought you were replying to another of my posts, ignore what i said i guess

>the blinking, moving eyes, moving limbs, hurts severely.
yeah thats weird
