I guess it’s worth reminding everyone that these “hate crime” statistics are always fake, usually in multiple different ways. They include comments on the internet as “attacks,” they rely on self-reporting, they include any incident, even if it has nothing to do with sex/race/”gender.” The ADL is the most ridiculous with their “rising anti-Semitism” statistics. You open that up and it’s like “some Jew said he saw a post on 4chan that hurt his feelings.”

I’m not going to go look at the anti-tranny crimes in the UK. I don’t care, actually. If people were running through the streets and no-scoping trannies CS:GO style, I would not care at all. I mean, you shouldn’t kill people, that’s wrong, but if I read about it happening, I literally would not care at all, and would actually just chuckle.

I remember wiggers, and punk rock, and edgy Marilyn Manson satanism. I remember raves and glow sticks and those balloon pants.

It all seems so very innocent now.

And it doesn’t seem that long ago. It feels like we’ve rocketed from some edgy stuff and some “let them do want they want in their own bedroom” stuff into “hi, I’m your son’s teacher and he’s gay so I sent him to have his dick cut off. If you complain, you’re going to prison.”

I guess the primary change is that there is no longer any kind of metric for normalcy. No one has any idea what “normal” means. Nothing is true so anything is possible.

I regret bearing witness to all of it.
