i have to point out that some people may be missing the point.
as an anarchist, i reject the concept of hierarchy. and, trust me: i don't want to hang out with you, if you're still stuck in hierarchical thinking. that's where the whole voluntaryism thing comes in.
so, i'll loudly trumpet myself as a nerd, but it's not even ironic: it's a type of reverse marketing, designed to tell the "cool kids" that i don't want anything to fucking do with them. they can take their hierarchy and shove it up their asses - i'm going to do what i want, and i'm not going to react to anybody's attempts to put people in a total ordering.
it's the kind of thing you used to expect people to grow out of. unfortunately, those expectations of eventual maturation are not what they used to be. but, i'm not about to let it change how i live my life.
there's no irony. i'm not secretly cool. we're all the fucking same. and, if you honestly think otherwise, i think you're a fucking idiot, and i'm not going to want to talk to you, anyways.
i have no fucking patience for "cool people" at all, whatsoever.
