“To a cyclist,” he writes, “a [P]rius is just a small [H]ummer.”

Can’t we all fucking get over ourselves already? Not to jump to a conclusion, maybe it’s a joke. In short, I find it analgous to the lack of understanding the connection between racism and prejudice, whereas racism is culturally unacceptable but prejudice is still rampant.

Without a strong culture to affix oneself to, many seem to lose their sense of identity and with it their self-worth. “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member” comes to mind. Short of taking the time and putting in the effort to figure out who we are, we rely on our culture to define us. Which then leads us to having to defend said culture, trading standing up for beliefs that aren’t our own for a sense of belonging, camaraderie, bro-dom.

Can who am I stand alone?
