In certain ways the system is why I am who I am today.
Back when I was religious when the atheists were telling me "you shouldn't let people tell you to be ashamed for basic parts of the human condition" I've simply extended that line of reasoning to things like race, gender, ethnicity and tribe -- all of which are pretty innate to the human condition.
Back when Jon Stewart was telling us "the media creates narratives it tries to get you to buy into" I've simply extended that basic pattern matching to see all the ways the media is creating narratives to push globo-homo.
I'm sure the leftists responsible for convincing me of these things wouldn't like the direction I've taken their arguments, but I can't help but chuckle a bit whenever I think about it.
