At the end of the day, it's just amusing for me, lmao. If I want to make another "They love me!" meme, all I have to do is search my name or their favorite euphemism-of-the-day for me and I can fill up yet another bulletin board with their obsessive adoration of the past month or two. They generate new material all the time, I couldn't keep up with my fan club (π) even if I wanted to.
It was cute for maybe the first six months I was here, now it's old hat, honestly. I just assume they're always talking about me. It's not like they have anything better to do - talking about actual issues might make them feel bad about how apparent it is that they devalue the lives of marginalized groups, and, as we all know, the purpose of theory is to make dipshits with their thumbs up their asses feel good about about their inaction, not to provide a better basis on which to pursue change in the real world.
Wasn't it Marx, after all, who said "Activists have only changed the world in various ways; the point, however, is to interpret itβ?
Or maybe I'm getting my quotes mixed up.
