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.

    LMAO yup

    everyone in here is basically being like “well if a problem is societal then there’s nothing on a personal level we can do about it!”

    by their logic, hunger is societal issue made worse by capitalism, guess there’s no point in me, an individual, feeding hungry.

    the reaction to this post has made me realize how many users here are just flat out terminally online and out of touch with the real world and it’s kind of disgusting to see after frequenting this community since the r/cth days it’s genuinely upsetting to me

      none of what you wrote here is true or makes any fucking sense. The ironic thing is that I have half a mind to log off from this website and never come back again at this point because the chance of meeting asinine neoliberalized fucks like yourself in social contexts outside are orders of magnitude lesser than on the internet, even on sites like this.

      Holy Fujitsu too:

      it’s kind of disgusting

      You previously posted a few times every 5-10 days according to your recent history, and now you only showed up to concern troll in multiple posts, especially here where you are calling other people on Hexbear "disgusting" for not being socially compliant enough to your standards.

      That disgusts me. :sus-soviet:

          Calling people with ongoing social hangups, people lacking friends or family within easy reach, people with compromised immune systems or other health problems, and people with covid concerns "disgusting" isn't something that I'd joke about.

              Physician, heal thyself. You were particularly condescending in these comments because the oh so wholesome "touch grass, simple" advice was received unacceptably and you stirred from a several day slumber just to get worked up on their behalf in a totally-not-seeming-like-an-alt way.

                    instant upvoting is crazy, respectfully i think you should log off. you’ve made some good points and i even responded to something else you said in the thread outside of this about something else and agreed with it, but i think a lot of this argument is just simple miscommunication (like you thinking i was calling those people disgusting for being asocial when i wasn’t) but the whole alt, instant upvoting, wrecker, concern trolling shit is just baffling and something an extremely online person’s head would go to which is why i thought you were joking at first

                      crazy

                      Now you're accusing me of mental illness (because mentally ill people are bad, amirite fellow leftists? :sus-soviet: ) because it's weird to see 3 points on your post literally seconds after you posted it, this far into a comment thread, at this time of night, after New Years where I myself only just came back from celebrating a few minutes ago.

                      respectfully

                      :doubt:

                      Are you done concern trolling yet?

                        responses like this make me feel like you’re doing a bit but it’s driving me crazy because you’re actually making other genuine, well thought out points in other comments

                        and just in case this is fr, no i’m not accusing you of mental illness and no mentally ill people aren’t bad tf? saying a concept (instant upvoting) is crazy doesn’t mean i’m calling you that or saying “crazy” people are bad

                          In the context that it was used there, when I pointed out the dubious timing and intentions of that poster, it kind of did seem that way.

                          You know what “crazy” means coloquially right?

                          It's not used in a non-hostile way, that's for sure. I've seen posts on Hexbear given warnings for ableism for softer stuff than that.

                          You're also providing an awfully generous reading considering that poster was complaining about hostility to totally wholesome not condescending or abrasive at all to anyone that has any right to feel otherwise kinds of unsolicited advice and how "disgusting" that was.

                          This isn't what I expected to come back to, but you do you.

                              You're playing the victim after insulting people that didn't take the dubious "advice" well and how "crazy" it is for me to see signs of suspicious and bad faith posting from you.

                              I'm done with you.

                                  It's kind of telling how you're acting right now while saying it's "disgusting" for anyone to see hostility in the wholesome totally-not-hostile "touch grass" unsolicited advice in the OP.

                                  I already said I was done with you.

                                    also you know you can just stop responding right? 😭 if i keep responding you can just ignore it
