It is painful to accept that we will all die before there is justice in the world the people who recognise this self-select into one of several different camps Team “Well fuck it all then” escapes the pain of defeat Team “We’re going to fucking try anyway” is defeated daily
As a polytribal weirdheart I have a foot in each camp. Sometimes Team Try Anyway has blinders on, gets moralistic, humorless, combative, angry Sometimes Team Fuck It All is insightful, perceptive, funny My life’s work: assembling Team Best Of Both Worlds
