Am I the only one here that's just polite to libs in their life? (hexbear.net)
 

As I often start my posts here, I'll say that I'm middle aged. I've been burnt by people with materially comfort and normie opinions far too many times. I didn't have a very warm relationship with my family, so much of my life was spent trying to find love through friendships. I'd do so much for my friend, only to see them ditch, betray, or sellout me. It happened time after time after time, well into the double digits. I'm not even exaggerating, I feel very resistant to forming close relationships with liberals.

Now I'm polite with liberals. And when bullshit starts, which it inevitable does, I'm not heartbroken the way I was in my 30s.

Not even badposting now, the reason cops historically ignore this issue is that its often white, chud, and petit bourgeois. If lots of poor black people were modding their bike, there would be public campaigns and mandatory minimum prison sentences.

I was rewatching some sitcoms from the 90s. I was absolutely shocked with the amount of jokes about race and gender. And everything was so damn snarky. People who think that the 90s were chill just forgot the details.

Very based. Keep it up mods!

massive wave of cringe

I can't think of anything at the moment, but there's definitely a few things for me that bring back memories and feelings of cringe like this.

"Oh, it turns out that research consistently shows that the only effective treatment is validation of their professed gender identity"

I'm constantly frustrated how tens of millions of people can have opinions that can be changed with a minute of Googling.

Non-American's giving shit to Americans is a public service, regardless of what happened.

TBH I used to quietly hate ppl who did Magic or LARP back in the day, which feels silly now as they were hurting no one, and in the 90s they were more progressive than normies.

Empathy can be really hard. One needs to spend a fair amount of energy just feeling what the other person is going through, and the mutual aid part can take even more. To go and question the reason for one's material comfort is more than most people are willing to do.

Congrats on finding your way out of it. I do have this belief that most white Westoids are absolute sociopaths who have learned away their ability to feel normal empathy.

Or maybe the bigger picture was just that I still bought the idea that the US were the good guys and that we were stabilizing the world and spreading democracy

I can't stress enough that this and the other things you said were constantly fed to you from birth. It's amazing that people do find their way out of Western chauvinism.

Comrade, my past transphobia was so terrible, that if a person murdered me for the shit I posted in 2009, they would be justified.

internalized transphobia

Oh at least you had an excuse.

In my experience, people don't like to be on the wrong side of an issue. When confronted with evidence, people with reactionary ideas tend to get very angry and go bad faith. I guess that would be the cognitive dissonance playing out. I think we've all seen many a lib get ultra shitty when clear facts are ruining their ideology.

So here's my history:

Around 2020ish and the protests after the George Floyd murder, many BIPOC activists were calling out the bullshit of white and/or men amongst the liberal and left crowds. For a small amount of time, maybe two months, I played around with the ideas of stupidpol and class determinism. I was probably butthurt for being silenced, which doesn't actually really happen anyways. The funny thing was that as COVID went on, it was a masterclass in how terrible white/male progressives are. Also Hexbear became big as lockdowns happened, and my thinking has changed to "white guys fucking suck, and if a marginalised person argues with you, you're better off just shutting the fuck up".

I gotta go way back in time to find the previous instance. When I was maybe 13, before the internet was a thing, I just to get really damn upset at my older sister calling out her brothers' sexism. It was a long ass time ago, but I remember feeling red hot angry at feminists. If 4chan or TikTok existed, it would probably channel me into shitty manoshpere ideals. Thankfully I was mostly occupied with WarCraft2 missions and Sim City. It's far too long ago to remember who was right.

Unrelated to what happened in my teen years, but I'm sad to report that my sister is now an insufferable lib.

I'm not linking to his video because fuck this guy. He deserves to be on the front line of Amerika's next big war.

Here's his fucking sources sheet.

It's difficult being the most left wing person on Hexbear dot net (hexbear.net)
 

I've committed 46% of Capital vol 1 to memory. I'm actively part of a people's protracted war (against my older brother). I live in the forest and I haven't orgasmed since 1991. I've self taught myself to blackbelt in 4 different types of martial arts. I don't participate in capitalist exchanges, I subsist off of fruit snacks stolen from local teens (whose parents work jobs and are therefore capitalist). Michael Parenti watches grainy videos of me talking for over an hour.

It's so frustrating being on a website where people just read books and complain about the orgs that they're part of. Where do high tier leftists go for company?

I think we should compromise our principles a bit to open the door to more centrist users (hexbear.net)
 

Here's a list of positions that we could change in order to allow our user base to grow:

  1. No imperialism - change to imperialism only on weekdays, with no imperialism on weekends and bank holidays

  2. Death to billionaires - change to "billionaires must all wear the same ugly hat"

  3. Committed support to AES - change to committed support to ASS

  4. Star Trek -> Rick and Morty

  5. Andor -> Pacific Rim

  6. Lenin -> Kerensky

  7. Fanon -> Hamilton

  8. Warrant Canary -> Incognito browsing

Libs are starting to get to me, I feel weak and ignorant. Is COVID still causing long COVID in 2025? (hexbear.net)
 

It's probably bad for a mod to be posting this. To be fair, I'm still 100% doing covid precautions, including N95 masking and boosters. I'm still actively very covid conscious.

I'm aware that there hasn't been much new research on long covid numbers after 2024, or at least nothing that I can find. Trump taking over the presidency hasn't helped. I'm very much a sciency kind of person, and I could always pinpoint a study as to why I'm still masking and being extra cautious.

Obviously caring about the vulnerable is still a very good reason to keep being cautious.

A lot of libs have been saying that "well we're all immune from multiple infections, so long covid is over". Clearly the opinions of libs should be discarded, and their thoughts are anecdotal af, but still I would appreciate some facts to keep me cautious through this difficult time.

BTW CDC pulse survey data still shows that around 10% of US adults have long covid.

This community is far too hostile to billionaires (hexbear.net)
 

My dad's a billionaire, and he's an OK guy. He visits once a month, and he always has the best ketamine of anyone I know. Last time I asked nicely for a PS5 and he totally bought it for me.

You shouldn't complain about billionaires if you haven't met my dad. All the mums in our family love him so much.
