Ooookay...
First up, I'm not pissed off (although I do feel somewhat aggrieved now). I was saying this doesn't seem to be one of those times when Barbelith feels the need to purge.
Second, I'm frankly not sad enough to need to 'trump' anyone's moral recidivism, nor do I have much of a sexlife right now to trump it with.
Third, I posted 'this is a bust' when there was nothing on my list of confessions after my own. Since then, it seems to have woken up a bit.
Fourth, the point is that each confession has to be worse than the last. Clearly and appreciably. The grandmother/sister's wedding post should have triggered something rather more revealing than "I'm a Leninist and I don't feel bad about it".
Fifth, as Haus quite rightly realised - though alas, did not specify - these threads have to work a bit like Fight Club - if you post, you have to confess. Not just once, but every time.
So:
I sat through the evening with a paid professional political assassin, hearing his list of kills, admiring his style, drinking his booze and being his greatest fan, because I thought it was cool. Only in the cold light of day did I realise that many of the people he was responsible for executing were men and women whose politics and efforts I should greatly admire. |
