Why should I have to hide my beliefs? I understand the concept of not making everything political, but everything that effects us is political. Or at least there is a political root cause of the situation/dilemma/what have you. If someone says something obviously wrong based on any sort of capitalist critique or dialectic material reason, then I should absolutely be able to shut them down and say why they are wrong. Regardless of if it is racist, classist, etc, they should be stopped and told otherwise, especially if in front of others. (If outnumbered obviously be cautious).

I’m tired of feeling not able to speak up about the oppression and fear and imperialism and colonialism and police state and the stupid libs and republicans and whatever. I don’t see any reason to hide if these asshole don’t have to.

        Eastern WA mfers are straight up homicidal. I've lived all over the state and I straight up felt like I could get McVeigh'd at any moment in Eastern WA. Like even in the bumfuck republican areas on the Olympic Peninsula felt more sane than the conservative areas on the East side. What are they putting in the water over there

          I've lived here my entire life. Most people are good but the bad ones are real bad. When the BLM protests were at their peak a couple of militias organized and hung out with the cops to "patrol and protect local businesses" I can see several Trump flags from my window rn. And even with all that I saw a La Riva sign here.

          Totally get it if you don't feel like sharing but where in Eastern Washington were you?

            Oh yeah besides the wackos Eastern WA is really nice. I went to HS and college in one of the bigger cities, and I met a lot of great people. Oh also I see you mentioned a TPUSA guy at your college, which is funny since there was also a bunch of TPUSA guys at my community college as well. They would put up little signs that said stuff like "Socialism Sucks!!!" outside of the library lmao

          lmao yeah I was talking to a TPUSA guy at a local community college and in our short conversation I was told to read Evola and taught all these cool things about IQ and the bell curve and how we're all inferior to Nordic people and Ashkenazi Jews and Brahmins and then he asked if I was russian/ukrainian bc I looked a bit like it (I'm not at all lmao) and usually I keep it pretty under wraps but this dude was a twig and at the time I was the most in shape I've ever been (I'd been swimming 2 hours/day and lifting 2 hours/day) so i felt comfortable going yeah I disagree that's all BS and he asked if I was a liberal and I said no I'm a Marxist Leninist, the look on his face was pretty priceless
