I finally escaped the south! I’ve escaped my abusers, the endless piles of guns, all the creepy libertarians, and wealth criminals.
Felt weirdly euphoric getting called gay by a random guy while walking around Bedstuy, knowing it wont be followed up with a brutal life threatening attack, gunshot, or me posterized on some psychopathic facebook post. If someones gonna hit me here at least I can fight back.
It feels endlessly empowering knowing I can handle my own without needing to hop in a car and risk my life on the road with a bunch of dumb asses scrolling on their phones.
Having so many people around me who actually care, who wont brush off my pleas for help.
I have more rights here, I can start a renters union, demand more from my employers, push for politicians who actually care about me, like Zohran and other leftists.
Texas has so many things in the way of progress and encourages disgusting ideals. Watching Texas become/unveiling itself as a libertarian hellscape has been so devastating. I spent so much time running delivery and power-washing for some of the grossest wealth criminals and their neighbors, I saw so much inequality and racism. Gated communities not even a few miles from people living in abject poverty. Masked ICE agents walking around my neighborhood black bagging my hard working neighbors...
I cry for those I cannot help. I feel like I’m abandoning the land and people I grew up with. A beautiful diverse land, but if I stayed any longer I would’ve been forced into a life of paranoia and militancy. I debated buying body armor just to walk around my neighborhood after getting shot, while walking around past 8pm, in the suburbs.
After watching Trump and his cabinet actively dismantle the only backup job I had passion for, the parks service, I lost all hope for a future there.
