    Someone much smarter than me once wrote that everyone thinks of their outgroup as “normies”: Catholics think of non-Catholics as “normies”, and “goyim” is just the Hebrew word for “normies”.

      I just want to say: everyone in my outgroup sucks.

      They don’t like it when you pat them on the head or rub their belly. Like; they’ll tell you their dog died, their fiancé left them, and they have to fight for custody of the kids - and they expect you to use words to comfort them?! Words. Absolute insanity, I tell you! In-sa-ni-ty!
