In 2000 I graduated college and went to work for a very well known and prestigious management consulting firm. My colleagues and I would go out to lunch every day and debate politics. We did it almost every day. There was a large group of us and I was the only conservative in it. In 2001 I was working with many of those people on a project in Atlanta. When September 11th happened, we were on one of the top floors of a building downtown, watching the events unfold on TV. The next day a bunch of us met up in Olympic Park. We were all confused and fearful, trying to figure out what had happened and what are travel plans were since none of us lived in Atlanta. I sat in the park on a massive blanket with a bunch of Ivy League graduates, listening to them talk about how they hoped that the terrorist attacks would not cause people to discriminate against Muslims. The buildings were still burning. This was Wednesday. They did the Norm Macdonald post perfectly. The park was full of people. Some had even had brought American flags. I remember vividly thinking to myself "why am I not over there with those people?" One of my coworkers told the group that he would "call out" any TSA workers for singling out Muslims to be patted down and searched. Everyone except myself agreed with him and even cheered him on. At that point I couldn't take the foolishness anymore. I told them they were the dumbest fucking people I had ever been around and then I walked back to the Westin hotel. I lasted seven years in that industry. I didn't particularly enjoy it and truly despised the time they make you waste, but clients liked me so my company kept promoting me. I stayed until I couldn't take it any longer. Left and never set foot in corporate America again. That feeling I had on the blanket, being surrounded by suicidally empathetic dumb fucking people, it's the same feeling I had before the midterms, watching Democrats rally around people like Abdul El-Sayed. It's why I devoted so much time and energy to posting videos of El-Sayed telling everyone over the years, in his own words, who he really is. I didn't make one dime off of those posts or the time spent researching. Perhaps it was a complete waste of time. Maybe so. I'm seeing all this talk on this site now about conservatives getting paid to post. How nice for them. I have never accepted money to post. I've been offered many times from conservative companies, groups and individuals, more than ever over the past year. My answer is always the same. I told people long ago that I would never post for money, so I will never post for money. All my posts come directly from me. Many emotions, feelings, and memories have faded over the years as I have grown older. That feeling of contempt for people ushering their own demise is still strong as ever.
