The number of 2-year-old accounts that had issue with my basic-marxist position on "art for art's sake is a bourgeois invention, all art is routed in social forms and thus political" take a month ago was surprising. They also weren't super-active, they made basic posts every 2-4 weeks, maybe, sometimes a couple months of inactivity. But somehow were called to action to dogpile me and call me a Twitter-lib for, like, the most basic Marxist takes on art. Has me suspicious.
that was me yes
and it wasn't extraordinary rage, as i said in that thread, just exasperation at an american doing the one joke, but with extra ignorance
we are pretty famous for having very good Indian food, as you would expect from somewhere with a large Indian population
I honestly see treat defenders and people complaining about how you should "let people have fun" far more in online spaces than irl. Treat defenders and treat defending don't really exist irl, at least in my own personal experience. I've seen far more celeb and sports defending among my coworkers. Let's put it this way: people aren't going to start throwing hands because you said Game of Thrones has gratuitous nudity and violence or the sequels are worse than the prequels. But talk shit about someone's favorite team, especially if they're a serious fan and you're a fan of the rival team? Yeah, you're going to get a very different response than calling their childhood cartoon a glorified toy commercial.

Can confirm. I cycle through usernames, writing styles, and personalities every couple months. I've been here for at least a year in actuality.
For opsec reasons: Don't get too attached to one account.

19th century capitalist France: invents l'art pour l'art
