  • This is the answer. It’s the intersection of those with strong personal opinions and the power (money) to speak their mind without true repercussions, and the power (money) hungry who are following the strongest zeitgeist in the halls of power.

    The zeitgeist exists because the entrenched powerful ones are currently using trans people and migrants as a wedge between different parts of the working class.

    The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

    If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won’t be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes
