Try to imagine how difficult it is to belong to a sub-culture in a culture that looks down its nose at you like you are a backward bigoted idiot and have that opinion be basically true.
It isn't easy being a CBD. One's dignity as a human being is under constant attack. It's what it used to be like for gays. The tables have been turned and the cultural cowboy tough-guy culture has become a negative with a huge majority of women.
The whole thrust of CBD culture is all about protecting and trying to reestablish the top dog envy it used to have.
Yes, in short, CBDs are experiencing a crisis in self-image, surfacing of feelings of self hate they could more easily suppress when their clown culture was widely respected.
This is the fate of those who attach their ego to culture and extract a sense of self worth vicariously, by being or imagining one to be a member of some exclusive and hot group.
Always the identification with the external and never any sense of ones intrinsic self worth.
Today, pig farmers are out and the geeks and metrosexuals are in.
===========================
Greenman: Interesting view. I just spent a week in one of those sparsely populated red county's and was very surprised at how polite and friendly every single person I met was.
M: While I don't see why you were surprised, I support your opinion. CBDs are wonderful people generally. In many ways they are the soul of America, simple, uncomplicated, spontaneously naturally real, yet maybe too troubled by things that go bmp in the night. They are a lot like you, a protector from folk who abuse others, full of moral character, under a defined range of conditions.
G: Edit: It's also surprising how small minded, bigoted, and smugly superior some of you are. Thank God you're all entirely ineffectual.
M: CBDs don't have a patent on self hate. Everybody with ego suffers from an inferiority complex and engages in denigrating the "other" Don't fall into that trap. Everyone was created in Gods image. The job at hand is learning to love.
