I am outside the outside. I am at the far side of fringe. Did I put myself here? Is this where I wanted to be? No. But is there any way to get out? I don’t think there is. So I will try to make the best of it.
Mostly I will be in the spam section. Or the bottom of your feed. It depends where you are looking.
I am not commenting because I can’t even see it. She blocked me. I don’t know why exactly. But you know what word I don’t like very much at all?
Unity!
It is fake. There is no unity.
This is just a short note post to let you know that I'm an outsider. A real outsider. And whatever. Totally cool right. In case you were wondering why I don't know what's going on.
Sometimes I sign out of Substack and do not sign back in, to find out what is going on. I have to search because it's the "fringe" section of Substack . For dirtbags like me. This is far too much effort most of the time so I don't bother usually.
I am not sure exactly why she blocked me, was it because I was coming across as a "maybe virus" person? I made a comment which ended up being the most brief exchange where I could tell she was angry at me. I didn’t know how easily I would be thrown away. I found out.
Well you have to be sure that there are no viruses or else. That was what I found out. I am just a bit too dirty and can be disposed of. No problem it's happened before. Rejection. Sort of getting used to it.
Anyway just another reason why I'm not so hot on the parallel community idea either. There's no way I will last a day in one of those. I will be kicked to the curb early on by someone more popular and “more better” than I am. And it's already happened.
A woman who is popular in my real life was bullying others. For whatever reason people still like her. And since I'm a person who normally stands up to bullies, I now have found myself expelled from that group of people. Lesson learned. Parallel communities are not for me. Will have to eat squirrels and tree bark if planned apocalypse ever arrives.
I just wanted to use this real life experience of mine, to let others know that if they are going to go ahead and plan a parallel community, go for it, but maybe have some rules to protect people against narcissistic bullies. Or don't have rules. Whatever.
I hope I learned my lesson. I sort of did. Don't say anything about the possibility that viruses exist to "no virus people" who are top level “fringe”. That was what I learned. Maybe don’t say anything to top level “fringe” people at all.
The other lesson I think I learneded it. I don’t think I can learn it. Don’t defend anyone against bullies when you are trying to survive the planned apocalypse.
Belonging is overrated. The acceptance of unbelonging is sweet as little fish.
