moronsenlightened thinkers doing this crap ad neauseum
I'm a centrist: Mao to my left and Stalin to my right
The other day someone tried to call me out for having a Marx PFP and an AnCom flag banner for my account and I basically said the same thing.
Well what I actually said was "ML in the streets and AnCom in the sheets" which I probably think is way funnier than it actually is. I just didn't want to get into theory with them because their comments were all mostly bad faith in that thread.
I honestly don't even care for the exact label and usually try to choose the one that pisses off the other person the most
Some of these dudes can be salvaged, having grown up and lived around them my whole life. Smoke a bowl, drop some historical fact that's simple but mind-blowing for joeroganites. A fun one is talking about the reality of historical Sparta, e.g. the helots at Thermopylae, compared to popular depiction. If you do it right they'll come back to you for more wild historical stuff and then you hit 'em with them the leftie jab.
I don't call them salvageable, but most don't have the fortitude to carry out any sort of retaliation of adventurism. They'll always carry on their flippant ways talking shit about society progressing then claiming they too struggle with the inherent cruelty around them after they had a few beers.
"We need to, like, unite and resist the elites."
Yeah man, we have to gas those fucking jews controlling our government and corporations! :frothing-fash:
These sorts of guy never manage to establish why on earth would I want unity with a bunch of people I’m a punchline to anyhow.
I’ll gladly take the nwo globohomo soros cabal or whatever over these people.

Yes. you're right. It's bullshit. Unfortunately while it's their mistake, it's your problem. Because the consequences are for you to suffer and not for them. That's how bigotry works. They should grow and change as people, but because phobia is hegemonic, there needs to be reeducation efforts. And that requires effort from marginalized people and their allies. It's an uphill battle. If we want to form a united working class front against capital, that requires getting working class people to stop marginalizing each other over race, gender, sexuality, etc, which requires massive reeducation campagins, which requires direct action from the very people being targeted and their allies. I wish I could say that wasn't the case. I wish I could say everyone who has passively absorbed reactionary ideology from the cultural hegemony will simply take the initiative and re-educate themselves. But that's not how it works.

except that's not real, that's an antisemitic conspiracy theory, and even if it were real, "they" wouldn't actually protect you. because it would just be the bourgeois class dictatorship co-opting LGBT identity as yet another marketing demographic and extending fake protection to you that can and will be withdrawn as soon as they're done using you to look progressive. It's not a choice between "le bigoted working class dudebros and le soros cabal". That's a false dichotomy put forward by the reactionaries themselves, and shouldn't be bought into under any circumstances.
Yeah, the “or whatever” was supposed to indicate sarcasm and dismissal of their worldview, whatever it might actually be.
Admittedly I never was a fan of the whole “have to be the bigger person” mindset.
Aye. Kinda toned it down, I’m admittedly feeling kinda pissy about the project 2025 stuff
Am I the only one who is angry at them abusing the cute caterpillar?
Unfortunately these types of people will never recognize that they’re also the problem
