My Facebook feed is kinda looking like a wokeness olympics between lame white people looking to score social brownie points from other lame white people. A weird focus on minutiae(not that I actually disagree with anything said) and the people they talk about never seem to actually be taking part in the conversation (other than lgbt white people though this might just be due to Australia's demographic) and it starts coming off as disingenuous a lot of the time.
Though what's really irritating is when you interact with these people IRL. There's always a weird thing with white people where they come off as weirdly dismissive of you in social interactions, where you kinda feel like the new person awkwardly hovering on the edge of a close friend group circle at a party and it's like yeah, I'm used to that. But it's kinda weird to get the same thing from people who you assume have the same interests and values as you. Especially when you consider the fact that you've met them through local gigs. I wish there were more PoCs in these spaces.
My social skills have always been in the shitter but they can't be that bad (??)
Nightclub on a Friday
Get my Gucci on
F-f-f-firestarter
Yes, I'm in the zone
You coming on me like a player (WOOF!)
But your game's all wrong
You get your words all twisted
It's the same old song
