Seeing dumb stuff going by and honestly it’s very easy to let it go by since the personality change, “someone is wrong on the internet” is apparently another one of those things mediated by anxiety.

But even beyond, reminding myself that spending my time analyzing it won’t convince them to do better, the bold stridence of their assertion of yesterday’s new hegemony combined with the way they don’t even notice how the ground’s shifted under their feet means they’re going to fall on their ass on their own before they have a chance to fuck anything further up for me if I keep my distance, it might be useful in “lessons learned” debriefing time in 6-10 years but it’ll be more impactful the better position I can deliver it from, and it honestly doesn’t have much anything to do with the positioning steps in the interim.
