My dates get really stoked when we trash maga chud trumpers, but when I whip out my "Obama is a war criminal" or "we should install communism" routines, it def kills the mood

Looking for people who correlate with radical politics, like queer people and vegans, can be helpful. Most should be at least succdems and you def should be able to move any former bernie bro over to the left. Libs in general are easy enough too if you're dating them, especially if they work shit jobs. Just don't be weird about it — talk about their issues, connect it back to capitalism, then once they're staunchly anti-capitalist start talking about history.
Leftist dog whistles in any online dating profiles are also helpful
wait, we have those???
Just use Marxist language like "surplus value" and "proletariat". No one who isn't at least somewhat leftist uses those. Maybe principled fascists, but those are unicorns.
Also "material conditions" can be worked into drunk convos about politics and economy bullshit
Drunk convos I usually just start talking about proletarian revolution and how we need to arm the workers and minorities. Surprisingly few people disagree with me
When I was a lib the last thing I would have done if someone started talking about armed revolution would be to vocalize my disagreement. That’s “smile and nod” territory for a lot of people
Lol, I usually do it around service workers and they have input. Definitely not smile and nod responses, though I do occasionally run into them.
:rat-salute:
I talk about material conditions when talking to teenagers about a lot of life decision stuff. Turns out no one does this with them so they tend to appreciate someone being real about it. It’s all “you can be anything” and idealistic self-actualization and choosing a job that you “love”.
No. If you do not work, cannot convince that state that you are unable to work, and have no one able to fully support you, you will die. If you have a baby at 16, that medical bill is going to be 5 figures easy. If you get put on probation, you’re significantly more likely to get caught doing illegal shit even if you’re doing the just as much as your peers and that starts you down a pipeline that leads straight to being in and out of jail.
And so much of school is just “everyone’s busy working and letting 16yo’s roam the city until they’re old enough to work is a bad idea”. I remember feeling like I was being babysat and I’d imagine kids felt this a lot more during quarantine
you could do the "joking-but-not-really" thing chuds do to test the waters, i've found guillotine "jokes" to do this quite well
Yup.
Oh yeah. "No <x>, no masters", "solidarity", most Marxist terms, Marx quotes ("by force if necessary" etc), "eat the rich", talking about John Brown, that sort of thing
This is how you accidentally catch a confused Reaganoid.
Then you get to bully them :sicko-yes:
Excellent point :CommiePOGGERS:
my cousin, he has this infantile disorder you see,
:PIGPOOPBALLS:
we love our pig with poop on its balls but isn't it a pretty widespread meme among people in general too?
It used to be, but I'm pretty sure we've laid claim to it by this point.
"what must be done" :lenin-da:
"What must be done? MY BUSSY!"
Oh yeah. I usually put a line in my dating profile that’s something like “eat the rich” or “I like weed and hate capitalism” or if there are question prompts I’ve done “what’s your perfect first date?””overthrowing capitalism”. Stuff like that.
Oh god yes.
