• Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive
Anyone else feel like an anomaly? Like they’re not supposed to be here, or that something went wrong and you’re a byproduct.
I used to like being called wierd, but…there’s a certain feel to it now. Like I’m almost alien. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found “my people” (even in my organization that I’m in) but…idk.
there was something about being refugees from the future or something like that, about revolutionary spirits who have aspirations beyond what we may achieve in our own lifetimes (like full communism, or full gender equality even). if i ever find the quote, i’ll send it straight to you
I’m not sure if I relate in those words. I don’t view myself as a mistake or something. But I have for various reasons spent pretty much my whole life feeling like an outsider in one way or another. I do wonder sometimes though, if I would still feel that way if I were living in a communal society that is more oriented around getting people’s needs met. It’s maybe not such a bad thing that I don’t feel like I belong in the horrible culture that is the US.
Yup. I’m not supposed to fit in! What s relief!
Feeling like/being described as/telling people they are an alien is a common theme with autistic people. My cousin and I were both 99% we were aliens between age 8-12. Just saying.
