I'm bout the same as you. A lot of the people in my shithole military (Australia) were honestly very breadpilled, because people like Bob Hawke enshrined such strong socialist institutions that people still have a vaguely positive perception of them decades later. Having chats with moto guys in my coy who totally understood that the only reason they weren't sitting there with an AK in the sand was because of where they were born was very endearing, in a weird way. These guys were obviously racist as shit though because they're Australians, but that's the duality of man.

Also man, I got SO many death threats on reddit for posting about being ex-mil. People would go through my post history and try to find out where I lived/what my regiment was and shit. I'm sure some of them were weird rightoids but when you have someone with the name FemboySpaceCommunism69 or something calling you an imperialist pigdog you probably know they're being serious. Will this leftist infighting never end smh.

Hmm, I think your suggestion is kinda ripe for abuse, atleast while we're mid brigade. Maybe that's an option when you can have an account age limit on it (like 2 months or something) otherwise it's probably gonna be stuff in that field that people aren't going to find fun to see or moderate.

Neural development is about completely done at age 25. So if you're 30 and still being an ass, then it's just a personality problem.

After a short period of thinking I knew every copypasta under the sun, I get dunked on because I didn't browse Chapo back then. I guess this is the price of hubris.

Fuck, I'm a buffoon. Is this what it's like to be cringe?

It's the most "expansive" space 4x, with the worst DLC practices for a game ever. It's not very deep and has a lot of fatal flaws but it's fun with friends (which every game is fun with friends, really). Personally, I prefer Endless Space 2 but you don't have custom empires and whatnot. Guess I just gotta pray that Humankind is based and successful.

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I do think to some degree you are projecting an insecurity onto an insult that is meant to be facetious and childish. You could replace "begging these people to have sex" with "begging these people to go outside" and you have an identical implication with the insult but without a sex-negative admonishment contained in the sentence. To that degree, you are right, it's not hard to focus on your diction and prevent yourself from using words that other people might find offensive, but the whole point is that the aim is to make fun of the people and be insulting, and there's no real level of discourse involved beyond a surface level insult, and that surface level insult in this case is derived from social expectations and sexual culture.

To expand further, I think an incel would never engage with you to the degree that you can genuinely make fun of their beliefs. Their world view is insular, and they are masturbatory in their correlations between how they act, how people respond to them and how it reinforces their worldview. To a person like that, all you can do is some flippant insult and hope it hurt their feelings, because you're never really talking TO them, simply AT them. So I would say to you - it seems that you are looking at an insult directed at people who are far different from you, and seeing a single quality that you share and then thinking that it must be directed at that trait that you and incels share, instead of the entire identity of the person that's being lambasted. It's probably not healthy to analyse yourself to the point where you are taking insults that are directed at morally repugnant group like incels as trigger points or something to be upset about. I think that in general, the level of discourse is so low that you're going to continually run into this kind of language and it's going to put your mental state in the dumpster. So I think you probably need to work on yourself and your self-security, but I also think you're completely correct (even if many people won't agree or won't even consider the implication of their language being sex-negative) so I will avoid that kind of language in the future. Take care, fam.

This is the type of effortpost that this site was designed for. Thank you for your service.

You aren't a real leftist until instead of arguing with fascists or neoliberals, you start purity testing and ostracising members of your own movement who are literally making a safe space for you to communicate.
