I sometimes wonder if it’s appropriate to be mad at a child for shitty takes, but I think “driving a car that’s worth more than my annual pay” qualifies you as an adult in the context of a revolutionary tribunal.
I was 16 when I became a marxist leninist, still am many years later (with many brainworms removed), its really not that hard if I can do it.
Been an Anarchist basically my whole life. Still am but got respect for Lenin Stalin and Mao for what they did
Being trans is a bit of a headstart tho tbf
sis I found out I was trans on lemmygrad like a little bit ago https://lemmygrad.ml/post/458915?scrollToComments=true
My Marxism made me trans
Shit, she’s got receipts and everything
Here’s mine: shot and then chaser
ngl reading that’s kind of nostalgic, and also the comments too, I used to keep them unticked in my notifications and read them back every now and again until one day I accidentally pressed the “read all” button and they all disappeared :(
This this one that’s now been deleted by @[email protected] that I especially liked
iirc it was a haiku that went something like:Miss HornyOnMain
Is she a boy or a girl?
Is she God? who knows?Basically I’d just read that again and again and like just get happy tingles of ambiguouty
If you happen to have a link to that post I can undelete it and get the haiku
Oh thanks, here it is: https://hexbear.net/comment/2776593
Permanently deleted sadly
Yes, because he is almost certainly being paid by the DNC to post that shit.
Wasn’t the Biden administration bringing “influencers” to the white house for programming a year or two ago?
Yep. My wife works in marketing, it’s shockingly cheap to just go out and buy a bunch of content like this. Though I imagine the white house would have a more sophisticated way of getting their PR out there. I’d imagine any way
He’s 21 lmao. Does everyone over 30 confuse college kids as minors? I’m 20 and people older than me usually think I’m a high schooler, but people my age can tell I’m not
You know how, back when you were in high school, you’d occasionally see middle schoolers and think “We weren’t that small, were we?”
That basically keeps going your whole life, but the categories get more stretched out the older you get. 30 and 40 year olds start complaining, “Oooh, I’m so old, everything hurts!” and it’s like, dude, you’re barely half way there.

Tbf he does have a particularly youthful face. I’m a bit surprised he’s that old, I would have guessed like 19. So not a minor but not over 20 either.
I feel like there isn’t a huge difference between how a 19 and 21 yo look, it’s only 2 years
Yeah I guess? I feel like we’re still in the “a lot happening in a short span” phase of development at 19-21 though. But idk I’m not great at age assessments.
deleted by creator
I’m 34 and “kid” moving to 20 never really happened for me but I think thats because I’m autistic and developmentally delayed. For me a “kid” is 18 and younger. But I get all of what you’re saying.

They should if they have blue check marks and doing free (probably paid) propaganda for a failure of a political party

No thank you, I will not be willfully exposing myself to a child’s political views today

Except Cara Cunningham was actually right. People should have left Britney alone
We who mocked were forced to learn humility and repent our callous ways.

Oh shit I had no idea. I’ll edit

Two points:
-
I wonder if those Whitehouse tiktok payments are finally being cashed here
-
Babe, wake up, new

China should’ve kept TikTok in china and use it as a spy platform because at least they wouldn’t let these lame ass lanyards on

lol only 14 more months of this shit
62 months
Biden has sat immobile, his body slowly crumbling, within the White House of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, his shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the White House and a feeble mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of lives.
I think even the Golden Throne pales in comparison to how many lives are sacrificed to keep the US alive.
The Golden Treat Printer.
If trump wins this time do the democrats try to run Biden in 28 as “the only person who’s beat trump”
their biggest weakness is they’re high on their own supply
ppl like this actually believe what they’re saying. It’s so based and they’re gonna crash so hard when the house of cards topples
It is just kind of sad to have such a myopic worldview that you cannot imagine anything being better than a fucking Biden presidency. Wow, there was job growth after large parts of the economy was closed down due to quarantines which you ended forcing people back to precarious work during a still ongoing pandemic. What a fucking achievement.
It is also a bit wanting to have your cake and eat it too, they pretend to care for the poor and want to be seen as “good people”, but they’re still solidly in the fuck you got mine mindset.
They’re genuinely astonished that the majority of us don’t want to die for the preservation of their creature comforts.
Jesus fucking christ - he’s like a boomer on cocaine.

I don’t get to bust this baby out enough
I saw him retweeted this once (the other artwork, not this one), he knows lol.
we dont care
i can tell
There are few symptoms of sheer liberal privilege more obnoxious than the urge to tell the world how much they don’t care.
: “Sorry kiddo, but nothing’s free in this world! Except for labor. People will work for free, right? If not, they’ll just have to die on the streets and then be replaced by the next stock who will work for free, rinse repeat. That’s called freedom, kid.”Working for E X P O S U R E until succumbing to exposure on the streets
Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.
It’s gish gallop in video form.
gish gallop
I will pick only one example:
Biden invested 500 billion into [climate change]
No. During Biden’s presidency according to the PR talking points presented private companies did claim to have invested or are about to invest up to $500 billion in manufacturing and clean energy. Two very different things.
[China] spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries.
That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion.
The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investmentsSeems that
does more than 
( Or Trump 
) even if you only look at clean energy for China.yeah but it’s unfair to compare China to America because China have a functioning state
Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.
Part of it is a generational divide, and part of it really is “influencer” culture being deliberately aggressively obnoxious noise.
It comes off as the same behaviour that occurs when I mention the soviet union. You get 5-8 different things about atrocities/genocide/purge/whatever thrown in your face with demands for you to counter/explain all of them all at the same time, and because that would take writing 5000+ words it shuts down conversation.
That’s precisely what this is. It’s the same fucking thing but in video format. The goal of it is purely to make any response you make too long for anyone to engage with.
It is a gish gallop, yeah.
It’s like when some sh.itjust.works or programming.dev cryptofascist showed up and said WHAT ABOUT GOMMUNISM VULVULZULA GORILLION DEAD ALSO HUMAN NATURE BUT WHO WILL INNOVATE YOU’RE ALL CHINESE AND/OR RUSSIAN BOTS ALSO YOU’RE PRIVILEGED RICH KIDS ALSO YOU DON’T HAVE REAL JOBS ALSO YOU HAVE MENTAL ILLNESS WHICH MEANS YOU ARE FUNDAMENTALLY A BAD PERSON
It is one of the most irritating and bad faith tactics they use. I always try to highlight this and then rein them in a bit, making them pick one at a time to go into in more detail in a good faith way, and that we can pick through them one by one but doing it all at once is unfeasible. 99% of the time they immediately disengage because they’re not interested in a good faith discussion.
The best and only outcome I think that is possible when this happens is trying to highlight to other readers that the user of this tactic is not acting in good faith and is not interested in truth.
Perhaps my least favorite trait in my fellow Americans isn’t their ignorance about history or international affairs. It’s the breathtaking overconfidence they have that whatever historical narratives they’ve absorbed from the culture are absolutely correct and unchallengeable, even if they know you’re someone who has forgotten more about history than they know.
It’s that Protestant American ethos that every ignorant dolt and their mother should have a strong opinion on everything and share it with confidence. Truly no respect at all for expertise or knowledge in this nation, or knowing when to listen and learn
It also is often how conservatives and reactionaries and a couple of libs I know talk.
Like: "No, just cause you did a quip does not mean your argument is valid or my counter point isn’t.
Things can be true at the same time and your points are mostly re-iterating things for yourself so you feel seen and heard while your self is destroyed in capitalism since your waking hours are bound to wage work during which you only get the 5 minute and lunch breaks to present your asine opinions."
I’m a theater kid
I was a theater kid…
And the other theater kids at my school were assholes that gave me the shittiest parts in plays because I was poor.
I wish Opsec would allow you to tell me where you’re from so I can avoid that place forever. Every time you talk about the people you know it sounds like you might be posting from hell?
Stay away from the Bay Area and probably a hundred mile radius all around it, just to be sure. Palo Alto is pretty terrible, and don’t get me started about Manteca.

Too late actually took a family vacation to San Francisco when I was like 16. That was actually a nice trip though :( But I guess it must be different living there. Or maybe the surrounding area is worse than the city? Idk.
San Francisco used to be nice, but
made sure to change that with as much subsidy money as he could shovel to his fellow rich sex predators as possible.Or maybe the surrounding area is worse than the city? Idk.
It was back then, and it still is now. For some reason living in San Francisco’s shadow means getting more than a bunch of car pollution; there’s cultural pollution too.
My trip was after Clinton.
But I guess the city that produced Pelosi and Feinstein can’t be as nice as my childhood memories remember it being :(
But idk I live in MA and on a government level yeah its libs all the way down but its a relatively nice place to live and I really dont know many people as demonic as the people you describe in your life lol. One racist uncle is pretty much it. And the highschool I went to in New Hampshire was a lot better than most people’s highschool experiances. Maybe I’m just really lucky idk.
My trip was after Clinton.
I won’t ask for exact years, but turning San Francisco from a surprisingly low-rent and culturally rich town to a neoliberal fortress of arrogance took a few decades to reach its current state. There were still nice things at the turn of the century and beyond, only slowly being pushed out by gentrification and Silicon Valley startups doing a localized Manifest Destiny by crowding everyone else out wherever possible.
I have a lot of bigoted biological family members and I’m not far from the “Bible Belt of California” where you’ll know you’re there by all the banners strewn along the farm roads talking about “water rights” and other chud buzzwords like that. Basically, there was an attempt to restore some wetlands as far south as the San Joaquin Valley and the reactionary rage about that among farmer chuds never ended.
Yeah, I don’t get the theater kid hatred. The theater kids in my school were spread pretty evenly across other cliques. Reading these comments you’d think all theater kids are basically Sharpay from HSM
Yeah my experience with drama club when I joined senior year (i tried joining freshman year, but little me was afraid of the goths and still a little unsure about gay people, I got over that quickly but still didnt go back until senior year) was that it was like its own seperate sub-clique that had people from different groups in it. I mostly liked it there and they were mostly nice to me, the autistic kid, so it was a good experience. No idea about their politics though.

My bf is a theater kid and he’s a great guy but the rest of the theater kids around him are rich manipulative bullies. That’s the end of my experience with theater kids.
🙋 same
Theatre kids are almost as awful as choir kids
Stalin was a choir kid.
“You kulaks should be glad you’re dealing with the choir boy instead of me.”
I’m an opera kid so maybe the two cancel out?
I completely forgot Peter Daou existed. This has gone on too long
