The mainstream is so fucked that you are now considered counterculture if you want to have a life that was considered normal until pretty recently. If you love God, believe there are only 2 genders, and that the purpose of sex is for reproduction only you are considered edgy. The fuck? This used to be normal. If you want to have a family and children with a white picket fence it’s counterculture.
Mutilating your genitalia and not attending Church is now normal fuck this shit.
The feds aren't recruiting the best. They are pretty heavy on the affirmative action, obviously.
