Nobody is willing to even entertain the idea that West isn't Best. Suggesting that whitey shouldn't rule the world is received as if you'd advocated cannibalism, and you will be condescended to and treated like an ignorant child even as they make it clear they know much less than you do about the subject at hand, if not outright ejected from the community. It's not just bots and manufacturing consent, either - it happens to me in real life just as easily as it happens online.
Anyone who isn't unconditionally anti-NATO and anti-American hegemony is a white supremacist. No exceptions.
Love this place, though. I think I'd go crazy if it wasn't for you guys. Glad I have somewhere to get this off my chest :soviet-heart:
yeah I have to hide my power level quite a lot

I have two modes raving commie and "are you absolutely sure that's awfully wise" I find the latter works better. The former I only use to rant
Yeah this is me most of the time (outside of certain client-work situations). Depending on my audience I sometimes deploy the self-deprecating Well I'm one of these crazy communists so I believe [incredibly simple and compassionate idea it's hard to disagree with]. That's often done well to de-spookify my tendencies from friendly acquaintances.
I don't know. Even when I hear the rare, based comment, I just don't even say anything because talking about politics with people face-to-face just seems unnatural to me, regardless of the content
you misunderstand me I frequently express my political views I just don't do so fully. Only enough to make my point
Mao would call you a liberal for it (it's okay he'd call me one too, I want people to like me).
Mao was writing conduct guidelines for members of a Marxist political party, though. If I wasn’t the only communist for miles I’d probably be more open to speaking my mind, too.
I am not a member of a communist party that runs the government
