You dunk on Lindsey whateverhernameis for tweeting bad things about leftists fomenting violent insurrection, but hopeful Balkanization and US collapse posts are downbeared. Are you just larping? Either the bourgeois state can be ended without violence or it cannot. I'm not here for enlightened centrism, folks.

    I don't see how you can have global communism while the US exists.

      like yeah then do something about it, right? i also don't believe we can do that while it exists but i find that if we just let this argument play out talking about balkanization without doing shit is as much of a larp right

        why does this conversation irritate you so much that you tell people they are wrong for discussing it?

          like it is not that i dislike it is just i really don't understand how the argument works why when they complain online about dumb youtuber it is larping but saying this is not like i don't think it is larping either way because this is a website i really just don't understand the argument being made because if we are going to consider that a larp it is the same thing right? you are not doing shit and posting still

              i am not complaining about posting as i said this is a website we come here to do this i am saying that i don't understand how under this logic the breadtube shit is not as much of a larp being done here than this thing is my point i literally said i personally do not think either are a larp i just don't agree with the premisse

                I don't understand how...

                If you want this resolved, you will have to understand that this may never change since the thing you don't understand is related to the way another person thinks. It's ok to not know things. What helps me in these cases is to find books and information on the thing making me aggravated. Tends to smooth things over and I don't feel so flustered when I talk about it.

                    I am not actually interested in the topic at all, just trying to work out why it causes you grief since it's not going to change.

                      like i have social anxiety so the grief is more of mix my frustration when i failed to understand what people mean and me being a nerd and thinking that the internal logic of the argument has a failing like i feel might be seeming more angry than i am but i just really failed to understand to understand how the argument works and my reaction to that is generally to explain what i think the problem is so they can at least understand where i am coming from

                        :heart-sickle: I don't think you're mad and I am sorry if I added to the grief.
