I would love to know when putting up with the bullshit of others became “the right thing to do” on a society-wide basis. Time was, when someone did something wrong, people called them on it, and if they had indeed done something wrong, they either made amends or they fucked right off. Nowadays, when you call someone on their wrongdoing, you’re hunted like a dog and persecuted like a Salem witch for daring to disrupt the status quo. The people who are in the wrong say “don’t judge”, which is Newspeak for “I know that I’m clearly in the wrong and I don’t give a damn because I’m taking what I want, so fuck you! Have a nice day!”. The onlookers would rather put up with the wrongdoing than have an opinion, or worse, take a stand, because it’s all so exhausting. Everyone’s just too overwhelmed with their day-to-day shit to care about little things like right and wrong, personal responsibility and consideration for others anymore. “No one cares”, they say. “Deal with it.” “It’s easier than fighting with people.” “That’s just the fuckin’ way it is.” We’re all expected to bear the burden of the rest of the world’s failure to not act like animals, and if we have the audacity to question anything, we’re causing “drama”.

Well, frankly, I’m tired of it. Buying into this mentality that suggests that taking abuse is somehow beneficial to the greater good of society is a complete and total failure on our parts, and it needs to stop. Make a decision to stand up for yourself. Be polite, be respectful (to others as well as to yourself), have some sense of perspective if at all possible, but stand your ground and don’t take shit from anyone who’s treating you unfairly. Send a message to the mob. “The Dude minds! This aggression will not stand, man.” Every little bit helps.
