Forums Serious Talk I HATE the 4th of July.

Voltie — They/He Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/07/5 02:33:05 )


I swear this day is quickly becoming my least favorite day of the year at an alarming rate.

Like, the fireworks are bad enough (bright flashing and loud explosions do not get along with big autism brain)...
And now this damned country is stripping me of my rights, autonomy, and humanity. Do people really think I want to celebrate the country that is dehumanizing me more and more each and every day? The country where I have to worry about being possibly hate crimed or taken advantage of because of my minority status? The country in which I'm stuck in because of my financial status?

I didn't ask to be here. I don't like how I'm treated here. I am sure as HELL not going to celebrate this hellhole.

There is nothing to celebrate this year so I'm especially salty at the people celebrating(especially if they're cis white men)

Screw this holiday it's cancelled. >:C

For real!

I swear they got louder and more aggressive with the fireworks this year. And for what? What are these people celebrating? I guess they aren't, and they're just having fun. But still.

I didn't celebrate it this year. I feel the same. My rights were taken away and other rights are going to be taken away in the future if all this continues. (I really hope it doesn't, and I want my rights back)

        Oh I wanted to kill my neighbors.
        Who were setting off fireworks until 1am or later.
        Soooo glad you people think it's cool to celebrate the country who hasn't done a fucking thing for the vast majority of it's citizens except strip their rights away.

@MaxIsConfused: I knew if I listened to each explosion it wouldn't be good, so I did some self care and tuned them out.

@KittyBeary: I tried to tune them out but it was loud enough that the construction-grade noise cancelling muffs I have did basically nothing

Where I live it was one of the first days in a while that we could have the windows open since it wasn't hot as balls out, and the entire day just smelled like fireworks. Second class citizens can't even have the benefit of fresh air, I guess.

@MaxIsConfused: Ugh that sucks, the 4th is truly the worst holiday next to stupid columbus day(which is rightfully named Indigeneous Peoples' Day now thankfully)
