this post needs a content warning for making me want to rip my eyes out
these types of people feel like they're flailing wildly for an identity
it's all just college students trying to fit in with cliques, right? some people become goth in college, some get into baseball, some weirdos do whatever this is. "I'm in the neoliberal club" yeah ok
Its normal for young people to generate some random ideology not really linked to their actual conditions in any way. It's usually not very serious or backed that strongly but instead draping in aesthetic.
The true radicalisation comes after screaming in the staff room after a few years of working realising this is it forever. Or me hiding in the toilets at my office until the lights turn off and i just continue sitting there.
yeah sometimes I actually want to sympathize with younger people who do this. They're adopting wacky ideologies and making it their entire personality because they don't have need for politics yet. It's a fun game for them
Yeah, when I was a kid, I was always left sympathetic, but a total lib. Nothing brought me further to where I am today than getting a job with a large company and experiencing the dissonance of the CEO rolling out the red carpet for himself to tout the amazing year we had before calling an all-hands meeting to say that there wasn't money in the budget for raises.
Also, the design of social media engagement rewards bombastic behavior and "maxing" anything to stand out from everyone else. You can't just be Bob, a guy who tacitly supports the neoliberal global order. You have to be Slazac the NATO loving kawai catboi nyan uwuuu~<3
That really puts into perspective a person I know who changes religion and political ideology every 2 years. Always updating their social media space to reflect the changes. It's a way of standing out
NATO leftist strikes again. And he has a Taiwan flag. Dude can go fuck himself for that. The homophobic Ukrainians would probably murder his ass but keep simping for them.
There's a certain curiosity to watching liberals' understanding of China retreat to the frontiers.
They've given up on "Free Tibet". The Uighurs are falling down the memory hole. Now Taiwan is the extent of liberals' understanding of Chinese socio-economics. Gotta wonder how long before they're demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.
People seem to have forgotten about the Hong Kong riots roughly 15 minutes after the NED money dried up and the consent manufacturers had to be transferred elsewhere.
Honestly I still don't know what those protests were even about? Were they even about democracy? Cus I recall their demands did nothing that would have changed the fact that Hong Kong is basically 5 banks in a trench coat.
a proposed bill for the extradition of criminals to taiwan, macau, and the mainland is what it started over
the case that started the bill was a hk couple who went on holiday to taiwan, then the boyfriend murdered the girlfriendYeah i remember they were mad some murder ceo was going to be punished.
They were mad that the central government wanted to exert any level of control over the five banks in a trench coat iirc
At their core, the protests were about a sense of localist superiority. I'd say "ethno nationalism" but Hong Konger isn't really an ethnicity separate from Guangdong people. The rioters thought that they were superior, "more civilized" because of exposure to British rule. Hence shit like calling other Chinese people "locusts" and flying the HK flag.
It's one of the reasons the protesters' cause flopped categorically with anyone old enough to remember British rule.
That's such a weak branch to base a movement on, I guess that's the power of cia money to mobilize even slightly disaffected people.
Also can you imagine the US government response to the kind of actions the protesters took for what was essentiallya secessionistmovement? They would have run out of body bags.
That's such a weak branch to base a movement on
True, but this kind of incoherent bullshit is how capitalism sustains itself.
The US government killed more protestors in a single day against justified protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd than the CPC did over 5 months of secessionists in Hong Kong.
Even Natopedia admits there were only 2 deaths from the """protests"""
Gotta wonder how long before they're demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.
Stroke rates in Japan spike as all Kanji is replaced by hiragana.
We need an emoji of pomni doing that face where she's fucking losing it
The one where the hyper-unnerving Evangelion-sounding orchestra kicks off and the zoom-out shot bears an uncanny staging comparable to the Last Supper?
As a Discord moderator for Destiny, Vaush would often post about how much he likes male horse genitals.
Volt has always been and will always be a recuperative op to make radlibs even more non-threatening. They're basically the Greens minus the environmentalism and with even more neolib bs. I've always wondered who falls for that shit, Volt is entirely irrelevant even at the joke elections for the EU parliament where everybody just picks whoever they believe to be the the funniest party on the ballot, but in hindsight i could've guessed that the Venn diagram between these losers and the European V*ush fandom is a perfect circle.
Volt aren't radlibs, they're regular libs of the common kind.
They're a party tailor-made to the average student liberal, meaning of course that they'd get like 20% of the vote if there was no tactical voting nonsense going on.
This kind of people used to be even more common in the past, but I suppose the kind of person to watch Vaush in Europe is also the kind of person to care more about the US Presidential election than any local news.
I have been tearing off their stickers while going "every little bit of anti-fascism helps", I hate them so bad
Antifa strongest soldier
Cool! Name the last legitimately antifascist action that you took.
(Obviously don't go encouraging people to dox themselves by actually saying this to someone. But you get my drift.)
Heh, I'll have you know I watched 14 hours of vaush content and voted for biden - what have you doen for the world revolution commie?
its ok but in the paris commune they formed a battle line and killed or wounded nearly 10k soldiers and a number of generals and the archbishop while vastly outnumbered after raiding a military arsenal, the experience was so important that lenin was shouting what they did wrong and directing people in russia
His bio has a thumbs down for the US, Russia, and China, yet he simps for an organization who's main goal is to advance US imperialism. Makes a whole lot of sense. The kind of
I've come to expect from Vaush 
fans.This kid needs to be bullied more. And this is coming from me a staunch anti bully and significant victim of it. It's better to suffer lifetime trauma like me than be like he is.
Might just turn him into a rightwing twink instead though...
I justify it by thinking about how bullying is only 'good' when it's done against bullies. This person supports causes that 'bully' people in the world, directly or indirectly. Therefore, bullying this person is justified. Otherwise, I too am very anti-bully and feel it's probably one of the sentiments that is most broadly supported. It's just that people have fucked up notions of who's being bullied and who isn't.
They do really exist, but they are not real people
They're real people, just not serious people.
There he goes. One of Elon’s own prototypes. A high-powered grok of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to respect, and too rare to ban.
I saw a tweet recently that said only 1000 or so people on Earth actually have "souls" in the romantic/creative/moral sense and I find myself agreeing more everyday. It's so easy in the modern 1st world to just be a loudmouth nobody with a bunch of symbols on your shirt instead of a personality
Is this a time to go into the discussion about how twinkness and capital W Whiteness are intertwined
Do you long to wear cute clothes? Intertwinked.
Does it have cute bells? Cute bells. Intertwinked.
Intertwinked? Intertwinked.
My sister is dating a Hispanic twink so idk if that's totally true.
I mean it was totally superfluous it easily could've been deduced from everything else
