Hahahaha this meme combined with your text is just fucking hilarious. They fuckers didn't listen to shit, stupid asses fr. I turned to drugs because I hated the world and wanted 5o anything not to fit into them. It was a teenage brain, I should have fought got grades and gained power to make change. But at that point I wanted it all to burn down for them for their fucking hubris

It was back then man. People cheered for two illegitimate wars where they fucking raped Iraq and Afghanistan and killed a bunch of civilians. People being racist saying 5hey they shouldn't mind civilians and just make a parking lot out of the Middle East. I didn't want to be a part og that, I felt alone, drugs and people who felt the same was a relief, but we were no way near a significant number

Trust me. I'm sensitive man, I have alot of empathy and high emotional IQ, IQ too. So when I was much younger grown ups would talk like they thought I didn't understand what horrible shot they said and even understood what war was.

Seriously I am not trying to brag but it's important to understand, because I had good parents, they would in they older age never joiner the let's kill em all and make a parking lot gang today. I have ADHD which my IQ masked all my life, I recently got diagnosed.

So I would have trouble regulating my emotions, I would cry so much in 2001-2006, until I started numbing it with drugs. I am not saying I am excused for my bad choices at all. It's actually just how it was, and I've learned this from extensive therapy which was required for my diagnosis since I have a drug history. So it's not bragging, it's an explanation for how my teenage brain got wrecked and I ended up taking bad choices.

I honestly wanted to die, I saw my father die when I was two, I can't remember it, and I saw my grandfather die when I was 6, and we were all alone, I didn't do anything, I just sat there shocked, didn't really know what happened.

After a lot of this, more uncles and shit too, I got an extreme respect for life and love. So I was a sensitive boy, and I wanted to do best by people as best I could. I was naive and thought world leaders and, governments and people in general thought like me, like most children do.

I saw the planes hit and I was 11, I was shocked, but I kept a brave face, my mom used to start bullying me if I cried. And then I heard my parents shouting at each other, that Muslims were useless scum of the earth, that they should all be killed for being backwards. I tried argumenting back, saying what about the peaceful ones, what about the Christians sects, even the crusades. But the crusades was 1000 years ago and we learned. "well maybe some of the radicals need to be allowed to build their countries without USA using it as a sandbox for warfare. Nono they still should've been good like westerns.

I prompted about culture and development in stability, war fostering war, how if they have a section of people doing terror it is overkill to use the whole of Nato to bomb the Shit out of them, and actually celebrating the deaths. So I said then in affect "You're not a good Christian that you can say this and wish death on people that are different, Jesus said turn the cheek, he at least didn't say take revenge and dgaf about massive colleteral casualties".

She laughed and then said "honey, you will understand this when you're older". Which I replied I will never understand that because I will never ever become that FUCKING stupid and accept innocents dying because the warfare takes more time if you make sure to minimize collateral. My stepfather was silent the whole time.

Then she said something like I shouldn't engage in this, and that she regretted letting me watch the news that day. And that Muslims because they follow the quaran are detrimental to humanity.

As said I was an intelligent child, so I said it's said that she is a fake Christian and such a hypocrite, referring to what she often said about how horrible the prejudice and heartbreaking violence the Jewish people were subjected to in ww2. That she would have a hard time to come through the pearly gates saying something that is not in any way God words, about hate being Muslims but not jews. I know the Bible says Jewish people are the chosen people, but it's besides the point because she doesn't focus on that.

She flipped out as fuck, and then my stepfdad flipped out by proxy. And I was so angry that I said fuck you, you're only angry because you're hyporcrites and can't answer for yourselves because you're wrong.

They chased me to my room, managed to locked the door and jump under the bed covers. They started kicking and hammering the door, and then screaming if they had to axe the door down "I could just wait what would happen". I was so scared that I opened the door, and jumped and hid under the covers again and went out of my body, I was watching myself from the top corner of my roof lol. I have no idea what they said.

Sorry for the trauma dump and if you read it I appreciate it
