Does anything surprise you anymore?

[GPDP]

I mean in terms of politics, society, etc. Obviously I'd expect you'd be surprised if an angry dog were to suddenly come from around the corner and bite you in the dick.

Nowadays, it seems nothing phases me anymore. Whenever the government, say, passes some new repressive law, the liberals around me get riled up with a passion (and of course go on to do little more than verbally protest it). Not me, though. I kinda shrug my shoulders, and say "it's to be expected." That's not to say I don't get repulsed by the shit that happens. I just don't lose my shit over it, not anymore.

Then people go on to think I'm indifferent or cynical, of course, which does piss me off.

At the risk of sounding elitist, I just feel like I have an insight that those around me don't have, where they are constantly appalled at the things reactionaries do, as if they don't understand how and why those things come to happen. Ever since becoming a socialist, I've become more and more this way. I'm just wondering if anyone else feels like this.

I'm never particularly surprised by things anymore, but I still get angry.

I'm never surprised by the things my own government does, but nearly every day I find myself surprised at just how brutal and nasty a species we are as a general whole. It's something I've never really gotten used to. I find myself surprised on a daily basis that in the 21st century anyone still holds a religion. And maybe I shouldn't, but I still find myself surprised at how content everyone seems to be to lead a pointless, blunted, distracted life ruled by the commodities they possess.

Shit's depressing, yo.

The prisoners strike across 6 Georgia prisons was pretty damn surprising.

In California, you can kinda see this shit coming from a mile away. So no, not very often.

[gorillafuck]

Not really.

Obviously I'd expect you'd be surprised if an angry dog were to suddenly come from around the corner and bite you in the dick.Actually, no, not really.

Politics don't really surprise me, however, because I've experienced enough that I don't expect anything.

If/when shit comes up, address it. Otherwise, in an infinite unknown that is the future, try your best to move on.
