Currently eating in an extremely hipster local café (like, stereotypically so) - not by choice, but family…
It’s run by women, I suspect for women. It’s… I fucking hate it. It’s the kind of place that refused to serve “unwashed” like me, for two years…
But even now, everything has a little sign on it. “Do not touch” this. “Do not walk here”. “Do x, y and z before entering”, “Warning”, and most egregiously of all “You cannot use this table for more than x minutes, depending the value of what you order”…
Woke shit everywhere. Mostly black American woke shit, which is extra annoying, in Australia…
Eugh…
I can tolerate the rest, but all the micromanaging fucking signs, all over this junk-filled shithole, it’s very… In your face.
They just love their petty little rules, don’t they?
Power and control are things human crave on an instinctual level. Most of modern life lacks any amount of either from external sources, which leaves most of us to gain it from winning either internal struggles or within our small communities.
People on the left in general, of which hipsters are part, cannot conquer their own internal demons and thereby lack any feelings of control of their own life. Especially as they rarely have any in their small communities either, as they are always at the whims of some other power source (mom/dad, their girlfriend, the government who pays their benefits).
So they in turn get it from anyone else they can elsewhere. From those who got huge boners over corona restrictions to that one bitch at your work who just has to micromanage everything. All of it because they have no actual control of their life or any amount of feelings of power due to their low self esteem.
This sounds very much like the girl who caused the other post (hecking allegations and such), funnily enough…
So that’s amusing!
