I step out of Hexbear and into another instance for once and immediately get this shit lmao

I was letting off some steam about how sick and tired I am about working a shit job to make some asshole rich, and I made an off hand remark about how my employer probably belongs in a gulag. Further down the reply chain, this lemmitor asshole shows up to send me a whole tirade full of faux concern, breaking out the psychoanalysis to say I'm just an extremist full of unjustified hatred because I must be a bitter loser. Somehow they come up with this nuclear hot take comparing my anger at the capitalist class to a Christian fundamentalist hating gay people.

But the fucking cherry on the top here is sending me this comment as their very first interaction with me and proceeding to instantly block me to deny me the chance to reply at all. I've seen others use the block feature as a means of getting the last word in, but never to get both the first and last word in at the same time. And in the end, this self-unaware lib ends up calling me the overly self righteous one. Perfect.

Tbh, what gets me is that they were so fucking close to getting it. They almost came to an accurate understanding of the fact that my material conditions as a poor person getting fucked over day in and day out by my employer stealing my labor will heavily inform my politics. But of course they never quite reach that point, instead bizarrely veering off into psychologizing me, and acting like this is all just some sort of character flaw on my part.

    You know I really ought to make a proper hexbear account, this helps my motivation, I'm just trying to decide on a good gimmick character

      You're not really asking for ideas but here's one anyway. How bout D-alpha? Unknowing people think your gimmick is "alpha male" but you actually provide necessary brain nutrients to dumb commenters.

      I didn't know the etymology behind tocopherol, maybe you already did.

      ...because the vitamin activity was first identified in 1936 from a dietary fertility factor in rats, it was named tocopherol, from Greek τόκος tókos 'birth' and φέρειν phérein 'to bear or carry', that is 'to carry a pregnancy',

      So there are puns aplenty there.

      If you like pun names with hidden meaning as i do anyway

      • @tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com20•3 months ago

        Hah I do like the pun or hidden meaning, vitamin or medical sounding terms appeal to me too. I think I did read that after I already used the name haha, I actually just took it from the ingredients on something I had, I thought it had a nice sound and look to it and no discernable meaning to bias my comments when read hah.

        I'm thinking though like someone from Star Trek or another persona lol, I just always laugh when I see like Rom, Margot Robbie or Dirt_Owl, it gives the space more character!

      Sigh I set up my account on db0 cuz they they were 1) federated with both hexbear and the rest of the larger fediverse and 2) blocked chud instances. Seems like time here will be short.
