No matter what social group you belong to, whether it be Vegetarians, or Feminists, or Creationists, or Environmentalists, or Homosexuals, or Texans. There are going to be three stages of mental distress found in each one. The first stage is composed of the passive members of each group. These are the guys who, for all intents and purposes, are normal, rational, and likable people. They "just happen" to be a creationist, or they "just happen" to be vegetarian, or they "just happen" to be Texan. These are the cool guys, they are tolerant and won't try to force their backward militant beliefs onto you. Although for some strange reason, it's the normal, friendly guy who always turns out to be a murdering psychopath, go figure.
Unfortunately the cool tolerant guy probably won't be around for too long. They start to think: "Hey, I'm a vegetarian so more people should be one too!" and that's when the shitshow begins. Enter the second stage of mental distress: the Moderate. The moderate had some time to look around and see all the problems in the world. They then come to the absurd/retarded/batshit insane conclusion that all the problems will go away if everybody was "just like me". That's when they start harassing their friends, neighbors and loved ones about how wonderful and freeing it is to be a feminist or Texan. Not realizing the hypocrisy they are committing by being the one trying to convert, and suppress the regular members of society. Thankfully at this stage they are easily ignored and they are easily drowned out by turning up the radio during the kick-ass guitar solo in Freebird.
Once they realize that their nagging isn't getting anyone converted/de-brained, they slowly slide into the third stage or mental distress: the Activist/Retard. There is no reasoning with the activist, they have no shame, no scruples, no soul, and no reflection. To an activist no opportunity is too small to voice their opinion, whether it be during a shouting match at Christmas which makes mom cry, or in a drive-thru when I'm trying to get my damn burger. Either way, as long as they get the last word in, they walk away thinking they've won. Ironically seeing an activist chain themselves to a tree, kind of makes me want to chop that tree down even more. Seeing activists assaulting seal hunters just makes me want to club that furry bastard even more. So who do you trust? The normal people who end up being murdering pedophiles? Or the activists who are certifiably insane? It doesn't matter, either way the Universe will collapse in on itself rendering everything we have ever done or will do in the future redundant and pointless. Cheerio!
