here’s the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.

you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.

this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.

    Soz but capitalism has alienated me all the way, as if having freakishly weird and niche interests plus being queer plus being autistic plus having incredibly bad social skills wasn’t bad enough, coming to this website has actually destroyed my brain.
    Seeing the world for what it is and having a leftist understanding of anything at all has been highly destructive. Understanding is cool but the intake of this knowledge has been a net negative for me. When people complain about their bosses or jobs, it flips the Big Communism Builder switch in my brain and I just cannot fucking stop. It’s probably tism related as well, but in general I am no longer useful to talk to.

    you’re just like me fr fr it’s like you read my brain and now i feel like this is a bit where you say “is this a bit” but you’re just throwing off my suspicions. yes im a paranoiac what about it
