A Guide for Critical Writers

        Lawmakers, law enforcers, snitches, and jackasses all seem to come around and talk their shit and try to provoke us into doing something so they can talk more shit and makeup for their miserable insecurities.  It is not our fault that they live shitty little lives and have low intelligence.  Telling them the truth about societal issues apparently makes them upset.   When jackasses do not comprehend something, they usually resort to childish behaviors and, again, get upset and try to antagonize us critical writers.  More specifically, their immature behaviors and thinking comes about because they cannot handle the truth about how fucked up society is and us nerds (critical writers) are able to do so and, in turn, explain and discuss it via numerous platforms.  No?  Yes?  The answer is yes.  

       This is where the shaking of the heads and phony smirks come about by the fools who cannot handle opposing First Amendment deliverances.  In fact, rather than having a node of reason, the reply to any comment about criticism toward critical writers is usually something like “what about my freedom of speech?”  Fuckin’ shit, this is annoying as hell.  Yet, this why most of us do what we do.  It is not about forcing beliefs on the incorrigibles, but is trying to instill another perception so that those who do not get it are not close minded and shut off to the realities happening in the world.  It is also about presenting facts and, in turn, delivering better methods and results.  We—critical writers—are not against you, antagonistic fucks!  We are trying to help you!  What the fuck do you not get? 

       In contrast, please understand that opening ourselves like this leaves us receptive to blowback—it should be expected.  If you (critical writers) cannot handle the heat, then maybe critical writing is not for you.  This is said because this author has come across many so-called critical writers that have a focus on trying to force their beliefs on others and whine about returned criticism.  Fuck that!  When you present material that is critical there is a standard that has to be set.  That is, there is always going to be people who say and do things to just get you going, and they are entitled to criticize you and state their thoughts.  However, these critics of critical writers will also do it in settings that are inappropriate.  You have to deal with it if you are in this profession, unfortunately.  This author has learned to use it as motivation.  Haters bring motivation in other words.  

       Nonetheless, this does not mean that you have to always take their shit.  Given the situation, it can be acceptable to tell someone to fuck off, you just have to know when this reaction is acceptable.  For example, if a law enforcer, or other legal practitioner, acts like a fool in a professional or public setting you can tell them to take a hike, as their job is to uphold constitutional rights and not infringe on them and try to screw with you.  The same thing flies when other non-government legal practitioners come around with their smartass comments and gestures, as they are supposed to uphold the integrity of the justice system.  If some moron says something to you while you are at the coffee shop, restaurant, bar, or other social setting it is alright to tell them to piss off.  Once more, it depends on the environment.  If the critics of critical writers do not like your material, tell them that they do not have to read it.  Strive on!
