Warning! Extra salty post ahead.
Starting a file of answers for questions with unwinnable answers. In no particular order.
This question was prompted by constantly being asked by so-called environmentalist, so-called liberals constantly asking me how did you get here, did you ride your bicycle here, etc.
And I was constantly answering them with an irritating diatribe that usually included the idea that “if you — being the people with the clout and the wallets — had been pushing for public transportation and walkable neighborhoods all along instead of moving out to the rich, fake-environmentalist suburbs, you would not be treating nonmotorists as some kind of novelty. Which is really fucking offensive by the way.”
And you need to stop NIMBYing out the apartments and townhouses as soon as possible, because you are going to be needing those people to clean your giant houses and wipe your asses in the next few years if you keep insisting on living out there in the Home Creepo zone.
Anyway! Fellow activists, anarchists, middle-class dropouts, and other associated misfits: Some all-purpose answers for you in case you need them in your own exchanges with the perennially irritating “liberal environmentalist” tribe.
PS. Extra demerits for you if your housing development has “plantation” or “preserve” in the name.
Why do you want to know?
There’s no answer I can give to that question without making things worse.
I’m not here to be your sideshow freak or zoo animal. Satisfy your curiosity elsewhere.
I give out that information on a need to know basis.
I have stopped answering that question because people keep getting the wrong idea.
Stop it. I’ve already talked to you about this.
Mu.
MU!!! Which part of “mu” did you not understand?
You’re asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is…
No. I do not need a ride. With you. Ever.
Further Exploration:
• “The Japanese word Mu,” by Robert Pirsig. “Mu becomes appropriate when the context of the question becomes too small for the truth of the answer. When the Zen monk was asked whether a dog had Buddha nature he said “Mu,” meaning that if he answered either way he was answering incorrectly.”
