(long post, also CW mentions of transphobia/racism/general bigotry)

Y'all I knew I never should've made an account on that damn bird app :deeper-sadness:

stg the algorithm boosts the absolute worst takes on purpose to further muddy the waters. like literally all the profiles are either "ML || 25 || TERF" or "ML || 38 || China bad" like it's all either reactionary patsoc slop or it's genuinely cool people who eat CIA propaganda like it's a kulak's surplus grain.

Meanwhile every talking point that doesn't seem immediately fishy automatically makes me skeptical as fuck bc sometimes the people that have good points about the liberation of the international proletariat also think that all trans people should die and then the people who call them out for their right wing bullshit all follow Vaush or spout something from the black book.

and then the people who spout the most "i have never read a book" takes in their life are met with criticism from people who seem chill at first and then you see transphobic wojaks and 41% memes in their RTs like jfc there is no middle ground with these motherfuckers.

They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority subjugation and erasure of marginalized groups. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution?

and then the inverse happens and i end up sitting there questioning if China bad or not bc someone said the stats about China's poverty elimination are faked without a source, but at least they're the only other person on that website that hasn't said the n word so fuck it maybe they're right who knows nothing is real anymore :agony-shivering:

like dawg i don't know if Deng was a revisionist or not I'm 22 i never met the guy

anyways if anyone can provide me the online equivalent of cuddling my head and stroking my hair while i cry that'd be much appreciated thank you
