here's the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.

you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.

this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.

    Soz but capitalism has alienated me all the way, as if having freakishly weird and niche interests plus being queer plus being autistic plus having incredibly bad social skills wasn't bad enough, coming to this website has actually destroyed my brain.

    Seeing the world for what it is and having a leftist understanding of anything at all has been highly destructive. Understanding is cool but the intake of this knowledge has been a net negative for me. When people complain about their bosses or jobs, it flips the Big Communism Builder switch in my brain and I just cannot fucking stop. It's probably tism related as well, but in general I am no longer useful to talk to.

    Consideration: is this website a bit? Is it set up for unknowning fuckers like myself to come along and take everything way too seriously, internalise a new worldview, and only be able to talk on hexbear anymore? Is this fedposting ? Was this the end goal? I have alienated the few people I know the rest of the way by flavouring my social ineptitude with rambling leftist rants, and it's starting to feel like I'm the victim of a cruel joke.

    Someone pls tell me if this site is a bit.

        This fuckin webzone has me hook line and sinker, literally used queer/trans awareness & acceptance as handy bait to turn me into the world's most ineffective commie. Fucking masterful play by the feds, really what leftist stands a chance against this kind of cyberwarfare?

        My asking if it's a bit is itself not totally serious, but everything else is, if that helps?
