About this episode
F*** - Talking about personal profanity and the sometimes creative and shocking insults I've come up with as tools in my fight for rights, rather than a loss of control, as methods of rebellion to injustice and standing up for civil rights by showcasing uncivil statements a lack of rights causes - as a way to bring an abusive 'audience' member into my world to let them experience the effect of the long term pain and suffering from an abusive cycle, and violations of human rights on me - and then to explain why I said such an awful thing - as a way to showcase the effect of their abusive actions in affecting my more sophisticated behavior, and why I need my human rights to survive. Much of the time when I am in a position of no power or rights in many ways, and mistreated and often when kind, normal dialogue doesn't work, personal profanity turns into a sharp hook (it's happened after a long buildup of gaslighting), to latch on such an abusive person, and reel them into a realization that things need to change, that the violations of my human rights are in turn weakening societal standards, turning unjust abusive situations towards me, into building blocks of societal cesspool trash.
