Facebook in Yo Face!

Today's rejection comes from the fun world of Facebook. I got unfriended!

Well, I've done it myself quite a few times. Tired of someone's shit, I click the unfriend.

It happened to me today, unsurprisingly due to one of my political posts. Well, years of tolerating everyone else's nonsense has created in me a tendency not to give a shit, especially when it comes to criticizing the social structure and social order; no one's going to do anything about the fucked up mess, so I figure I might as well plaster my Facebook wall with "extreme" political views. Here's the post in question.

My friend, who I know in real life and not just on the Internet, messaged me and assured me we are still friends but just not Facebook friends. I believe him, I've known him a long time and he's a good guy. I don't reveal my views to people often and on the Internet I do it freely, so the response doesn't surprise me.

So, as far as I know, there's no hard feelings between me and my real life friend. I have to say this, though. I have gone along with things in real life; the abuse on the job, the patriotic bigotry, the racial attacks, the drone conformists; all of it has brought down my body and left me with nothing, and I sacrifice a lot inwardly for it. Everyone goes along with it. I don't mind attacking it at all.

Having said that, I would definitely sacrifice a friendship for truth. Because without truth, you and your life is a lie.
