Current Canadian socialist here: I don’t lose half of my income to taxes. Nowhere near, actually. And I get health care taken care of, fully. And I don’t worry about which public school my kids go to because they’re all, more-or-less, pretty great. And on and on. I’m kind of pumped this guy moved to the States,…

I...don’t think you have played Overwatch.
Exactly. Having suffered mental health issues myself, I remember times where I was acting like Kanye and people LOVED it. No, I wasn’t famous or bringing in money, but I was making parties more interesting and doing “artist” things and people were getting entertainment out of my unhealthy behavior. I look back at my…

There are a TON of people like this that have to continually push their progressive and oh so diverse street cred. It’s like an Internet comments section: “As the mother of a queer, gender nonconforming, autistic kid with disabilities...”, “as someone who is 1/8 Native American and half Tibetan...”, “As someone who is…
Cool story, Lena. Hope your Oppression Olympics Thanksgiving comes with medals tonight.
