One thing I miss about Twitter are all the normies saying dumb things to supply ideas and content for me. NOSTR has a few crazy people, but crazy doesn’t bother me because oddball cranks don’t scale. Only normies can come together to mandate injections or lock people in their homes.

So my beef is with the do-gooders and credulous normies, but they just aren’t really here.

I realize it’s twisted that I miss that, but so much of what I write about and deem important these days was informed by the unthinkable infringements on basic rights that happened over the past few years — not somewhere in Russia or the Middle East, but in the US and Western Europe where I live.

I think most people are in denial about what happened. Just because you’re not being abused this minute doesn’t mean everything’s cool when your abuser is still in power.
