   What are you in the worst possible timeline?

   I don't mean like, an actual version of you if you made some bad decisions or whatever. I mean like, if you take the worst people you knew, the worst communities you were in, the worst political ideologies around you, and you just... totally went for all that in the most awful way in a way you never would irl cause you have a fucking brain

   what's that guy look like?

     @junebug In that timeline, I'm definitely an alt-right shitlord. Maybe trying to work in marketing or web design; I dunno what guys like that do for work. I'm bitter and lonely and believe empathy is a weakness and everything can be solved logically (yet can't seem to logic myself into a satisfying life).
     
     It wouldn't have taken much of a push, which always scares me. I dabbled in 4chan in high school, was a Dawkins-esque antitheist, and entered college self-describing as "more of an egalitarian than a feminist". I was also pretty darn socially anxious due to some pernicious beliefs about my own lack of worth. I could have gone down that path pretty easily.
