I think it's unnecessary to think you need to make difference in the world. Do what you want for yourself. You don't owe the world.

I tried to stop fascism from taking over, but I was too powerless. I viewed that as a necessary difference to make, and I couldn't do it.

Now people online are acting like it's a moral failing if I don't take action now. It's too late, dunces. People should have listened when I was trying to warn them.

Also, I'm tired of being blamed for systemic racism/sexism or whatever just because I'm a white man. I've never been near the levers of wealth and power. But I'm an easy target, and that's all people care about.

They say things like "you're not being targeted" while simultaneously making whatever excuses to justify why it's somehow okay to denigrate me and if I have a problem with that then somehow I'm the bigot.

It's not fair, but it sure seems like a lot of people are convinced I do owe the world...
