It's going to be really funny when Chuds realize socialists and dems are different

    Them confusing Dems and actual leftists was infuriating to me at first, but then I just learned to enjoy reading their self-satisfied brainrot. If anything, it's a boon to the Left if progressive-leaning Libs are further radicalized by both Chuds calling them dirty commies and mainstream Libs scoffing at and distancing themselves from them.

      That's kinda what happened to me under Obama. It desensitized me to the word socialism.

        Me being displeased at how right wing Obama was, even in his first campaign promises, combined with reactionaries calling him a commie, is actually what got me to finally read theory.

      I fucking wish. I wish I could flip every toxic thought I have about everything like this. Watching my planet die under the shade of sociopathic exploiters, all while I have almost nothing while I sense how much connection and freedom we lose in this state of endless competition over fake fucking units.

      How do people act like survival was bad? People literally play video games just to experience that. Our hobbies are now hunting, camping, exploring, crafting, and basically everything else associated with natural survival in a primitive or tribal society. We've lost all that, and the fucking animals are all dead now, too.

        Oh, I feel that negativity. The despair and apathy definitely simmers underneath all the amusement. But when I've doomscrolled through multitudes of ignorant/hateful posts and witnessed the human abyss, I couldn't help but disassociate from it all and think if this is really a sign that things are "doomed" as much as I make them out to be.

      Like the reverse of the Nazis going “uhhh I wasn’t a nazi until Democrats started calling me one! :le-pol-face:”

        Yep. And unlike those vindictive little bitches, I fully own up to how my views aligned with that even long before I stopped being a lib. It's kind of weird how equating a want for a better world with "Socialism" makes that word and concept less dirty.
