here's the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.
you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.
this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.
genuinely suprised at the reaction to this post
obviously capitalist alienation isn’t our faults individually and is a societal problem and we shouldn’t be irresponsible about covid but you all are proving their point in a way jesus christ

exactly, you worded that well. i don’t feel like op had any ill intentions or posted this in bad faith though so to see everyone say “fuck you” to them seems very gross and mean.

comin' in hot on the heels of the struggle session about whether or not ass cleaning is good
LMFAOOOOOO

Wait, was that an actual struggle session? I saw that post early and i chuckled because i thought it was funny...
Is washing ass a controversial opinion?!
nah it devolved into a struggle session about bidets vs. toilet paper and which was bourgeois decadence. the user who thought a $15 bidet was middle class extravagance went off the rails and started insulting everyone until they were banned
Lol. lmao
Do you remember the Zara box spring mattress struggle session? Lmao

you’re misreading what i’m saying or i just worded it poorly. someone not being outgoing isn’t “disgusting”, i’m not even very outgoing myself and don’t absolutely love being social, i tend to stick to myself a good chunk of the time. what’s disgusting is the REACTION to this post since it wasn’t made in bad faith and was obviously meant to be some nice encouragement to those op felt needed it, sorry for the mix up

i thought you were joking at first because of the emoji, how you worded things, you trying to imply i was a wrecker or something 😭 you do actually make a good point at the end there though, but i just cannot wrap my head around this being a hostile post at all

you constantly get caught up in your invented narrative of 10 layers deep of internet poison

you are vastly more hostile than anyone else in here, and every comment you make drips with condescension and like 6 layers of intention mind reading and assumptions
deleted by creator
do you ever stop and re-read your comments to see how you would sound to an outside person? you're always airing some ancient grievance of yours that you've built up over the months of obsessive posting, and you're always passive aggressively trying to dunk on people you argued with and one up them months later - resulting in these complex gordian knots of comments where the only thing outsiders can parse is the condescending tone and emojis, and the implications within implications that you are following are entirely lost to everyone else

Nobody ever has any idea what you are even talking about you are so far gone in mind reading assumptions and logical leaps

It's a pretty normal reading actually, it baffles me how anybody could be so upset at a post like that tbh.

If your first reaction to somebody being happy and telling other people to be happy and socialize is "um ackschly sweaty..." you should probably do some introspection.

It's not invalid, it is unhealthy though.

If they didn't like the post they could have just, you know, scrolled past it and not interact with it. OP wasn't calling out anybody in particular, it's entirely yours and their choice to take the post so seriously.

this post is making a lot of things about the users of this site make sense
sad!
I mean, as an immunocompromised individual, I just spent the third year of my life not being able to do anything so this post kinda sucks shit for me
yeah it doesn't really work for everyone
p sure if i hit up my "lame and bigoted family members" to be "seen and vulnerable" they'd throw a rope around my neck
"Put yourself ar risk because I think it will help communism"
no because it will help you

jokes on you i was like this pre-covid because it costs too much money to socialize
I visit the friends, I touch the grass, I have the social life. Not starting the year sick.
i clearly said “we shouldn’t be irresponsible about covid”
there's no controlling how others are about covid. as a society we are being irresponsible about covid and going out and socializing is accepting that you will almost certainly get it at some point in your life, most likely multiple times. whether or not that is personally devastating enough to you to keep you inside is obviously gonna be individual
There is no way to visit random folks at parties and be safe about covid during a spike. It's just not possible.
