#2 It has the vibe of someone with local demi fame fed up with her social interactions, no not being disparaging. On the contrary, as someone who was stereotyped by (former) associates, I get it, and it is frustrating.

I grew up There, hell even played 4-square with some, eventually moved Here, and after about only a year, I became the Other to them though I was still the same person (on observation of others, a year is not long enough to lose Core Behavior and Belief).

I can tell you how the air smelled that morning - shitty beer and football. Dude tried to convince me that suicide bombers were on the correct. I lost it, or perhaps more correctly, found it.

See, the problem the fraggles have is they are not a pack, they are a herd. Breaking the herd trot allows a hierarchy play of who has the stuff to shame the runaway.

But its really like this: ever drive by a feed lot, and there is a big pile of shit and on top of it is a steer, usually with a few around the mound? It really had not much to do with me or my opinion, but an opportunity to be the steer on the top of the pile. It was quite embarassing to watch. It was the day I discovered my shit eating grin.

#3 Gay friends, just don’t buy pizza from a pizzeria that doesn’t want to cater your event. Black friends, just don’t buy wedding cakes from a bakery that doesn’t think you should be marrying that white person you fell in love with. Put away your wallet, write a nasty review on Yelp and holler “Bye, Felicia!” as you walk out the door to patronize a more accepting (and probably more successful) enterprise.

Well, that's the problem. When you're such a small demographic in the overall population, it has little or no effect. So, you hire the SJW pols and media to corrupt the marketplace, to rig the game, to punish which are tools available in an oligarchy or autocracy or dictatorship. In other words, you become just as corrupt and intolerant as anything you denounce. It comes down to the imposition of power not justice, not fairness, not civility. In searching for perfection you only corrupt yourself and fail just a miserably has those you claim to detest.
