       | this wasn't an article discussing the characteristics of how
       | people walk and what constitutes walking 'normally'. As anyone
       | who's been ostracised and victimised for "walking weird" will
       | tell you. When you ask the honest question of how one is supposed
       | to "walk normally" so you stand a fighting chance of being
       | treated like a human being by the vain, Darwinistic sociopaths
       | that make up the rest of society, the answer you get is
       | invariably radio silence. Because these scum don't want you to
       | know how to walk in the way that they deem acceptable. They want
       | to be able to invent something to point and laugh at you about,
       | to drag you down and beat you into submission for the heinous
       | crime of not putting one foot in front of the other in the
       | unspoken "correct" way, to tear every bit of self-esteem out of
       | you until you're nothing but a servant to them - wanted when
       | you're useful, disposable otherwise.
