So far I’ve got 0 matches in a week, whereas without “communism will win” I would be getting 1-2 per day.

Idk how I feel about it. I’m getting old, getting lonely, and sometimes just chatting with someone new, even if they end up sucking after a week or two, is enough to give me hope that I’ll find someone. On the flip side I feel like being more upfront would lead to less, but more meaningful interactions. But today, at this moment, I feel a deep loneliness and sadness that I haven’t felt in a very long time.

Fuckin hell. The destruction of the social fabric in capitalist societies fuckin sucks. Just wanna find a cool life-mate to spend my days with.

:deeper-sadness:

Yeah, I know there’s a bazillion other things that are magnitudes more important than this right now, just needed to vent.

    Yeah, my wife and I weren't leftists when we met. Now I'm an ML and she is mostly apolitical, but agrees with the basic tenets of giving workers more control and imperialism is bad. Like she isn't a communist, but she isn't not one. She just isn't personally invested in identifying her politics.

    So maybe the communism will win bit is coming on a bit strong. I think finding former Bernie supporters should work, because in general they should believe in many of the same things, just without the framework of how to actually make change. So don't give up just yet. There's plenty of people out there who may not identify with communism, but functionally with their beliefs are.
