I'm more of a lurker here, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the spectrum of responses. At least personally, I'm copping to the ML bent here (same username) and telling people this community still has redeeming value, and I have people maligning me and telling me to log off? Wha-?
Are these people just suffering from lib brain, or am I missing something?
They want healthcare and to smoke weed and they think it's funny when Chapo chides woke people. That's it. The little bit of leftist content in chapo goes over their heads. Also it's people who only know about other things through posting. They saw someone here make a president xi joke and since they get all their knowledge of China and leftism from memes on reddit, they get weirded out. A lot of people are pathologically incurious and will always navigate the world through posts they read.
A lot of the criticism of the old sub always seemed to mainly just involve calling the subs users mentally ill/fat/ugly/queer/trans
Don't forget how we're a russian/republican op, exclusively white males (that's why we dunk on girl bosses like kamala and warren), and antisemitic (following our dear leader Bernard).
That's what you'd see on Democratic/neoliberal spaces, I was talking about more stupidpol oriented ones
I'm happy I spared myself going to those spaces then I guess
any leftist space with mostly Americans will have a larger than average population of people who are mentally ill/trans/queer/etc folk because the only surefire way of becoming a leftist in the USA is to feel a larger than average degree of alienation or some kind of debilitating poverty to the point where you have given up on attempting to integrate your personal ideology into the general consensus because your own personal experiences will not be congruent with "normal" business as usual American politics
also how cool is it that liberals see us as rich white dudebros and right wingers see us as depressed trans pussies
and the most vocal anti idpol left types (who, to be fair, are also right wingers)

C’mon I’m like... three of those, max
Gonna borrow that one.
This has always been the biggest mindfuck in my personal life. Maybe it's just because I probably have at least one Cluster A personality disorder, but I've never been able to understand people who can just take things at face-value without questioning them or doing their own research to the extent that they weren't beat down or exhausted or something. I understand being exchausted and not haivng the energy to think about things, but how the fuck are you gonna be rich and comfortable and not be asking questions all the time?
I think you answered your own question.
Isn't the entire point of getting rich the fact that you can ask questions and call out demonic cunts without worrying about starving or being banished to rot in a gutter?
Like I said, my brain simply can't conceive of the idea of being uncurious. Evil, devious, uncaring, sure. But not wanting to know the real story? Inconceivable. Even if you're a rich asshole who doesn't care if anyone on Earth lives or dies, don't you care to know what going on to spite your enemies? God damn, Capitalists suck! They aren't even trying!
