We live in a culture where everyone's "taste" is equal, and people with "refined taste" are deemed elitist and judgmental and generally a "bummer".

Most people really can't handle the truth.

I critique myself almost to an obsessive degree, like for example, I'm very aware that I'm a braggard and that I can be crass a lot of the time.

I work on it, but I won't get angry at someone if they point it out, it's true and I'll acknowledge it.

Why are people like this with their taste? If all you ever read for pleasure is harry potter, you're a fucken dumb child. If you "actually like Ulysses," you're a useless idiot. If you have read war and peace, you deserve respect.

Why are people so god damn stupid and will tear out your throat if you burst their little "feely good narcisstic bubble" that MTV, the media in general, and public schools have done such a good job of blowing up.

Egalitarianism gone mad. Your ignorance=/= knowledge. Your shitty taste does not deserve respect.

This mentality ostracizes me a great deal.
