I Cherish Getting Blocked on Medium
It’s not very cool to be a Liberal Democrat in the United States here in 2023. I know this because I often have people block me that I don’t even know. This even happens on a platform full of more-intelligent people like Medium. I get it. I’m opinionated. I pull no punches about how I feel about the white-nationalist MAGA movement as well as those who have racist, bigoted, sexist, and homophobic views. It’s usually all four when we’re talking about these MAGA fools.
And that’s ok. You can’t be everything to everyone. They even stuck Jesus on a cross for being too good of a fella. Not that I think that I’m some sort of Christ-type person. That’s for others to decide if they think of me as a writing, god-like deity. Shit, I bet I just got blocked by a few more, now.
No worries. I realize that my brand of tongue-in-cheek, fresh-out-of-fucks-to-give writing style isn’t for everyone. For those who can stomach this sort of behavior and blog writing that I do, I sure appreciate you. I do this because I know it makes everyone laugh or think. Sometimes both.
But it’s hard not to take it personally, occasionally. When you realize that someone who doesn’t even know you thinks you’re a big enough dick to block you before getting to know you, it can hurt your feelings a bit. But again, I do understand it.
