Cypressed

oh yeah, definitely! i agitate toward socialist (and anarcho-syndicalist) policy at every chance i get! On top of that, I’m also continuously attempting to plant subliminal ideations toward it among people with whom i interact on a daily basis putting it in terms my propaganda-poisoned colleagues’ minds might actually grasp–

'if only we could decide this democratically, huh?`

‘after all, we’re the ones who actually have to do the work and see how things transpire here on the front lines of the whole operation…’

‘nobody upstairs knows how things work around here better than us.’

‘btw don’t we have some kind of right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances, ACTUALLY…?’

‘idk i just like democracy bro ;3’

‘kinda sucks how our tax dollars are being spent to prop up a genocidal regime so they can give their citizens free healthcare while we’re stuck with nothing, doesn’t it…’

‘hey if you want cheaper eggs, i know a place near here…! it’s a co-op market owned and operated by the local farmers and a dozen fresh eggs is like … sometimes HALF of what the big chain stores charge!’

“ohhh i’m so sorry to hear your cable company treats you that way…! it’s awful! y’know, it seems like every time people ask a corporation to handle infrastructure it just makes more waste, fraud and abuse… but as for me, the fiber optic line to my house is fast and stable and cheap, and it’s owned by all us residents in my town. Municipally owned! I would love for you to have that too. wouldn’t you? why not ask your neighbors how they feel about it?”

all of these examples are exaggerated and hyperbolic for illustrative purposes. i usually have to be a lot more subtle in order to avoid tipping them into a performative faux-patriotic ‘four legs good two legs bad’ thought terminating cliche fugue state.

turns out everything people hate about communism is actually just stuff capitalism does.

now shen has to start drawing his life female too. and then change pronouns ;3c

Toxic positivity. I’m not a fan of “your opinion doesn’t count unless you agree with me” and this is just a social media platform saying the same thing. But I’m grateful for the Return YouTube Dislike browser plug-in/add-on so that you can have some point of reference among perspectives outside one’s own. If a video has 300 likes, you might think it’s a fine video and you’ll watch it thinking “wow 300 people endorsed this”. If a video has 300 likes and 500 dislikes, though, you at least KNOW “oh that’s at least one red flag. I shall invest more effort than usual into being skeptical and mindful, and more effort into thinking critically as well, as I watch this.”

If i see a ton of dislikes on a video whose topic is one of the new reich’s designated scapegoats, the dislike count may in fact be a factor that INCREASES my favorability toward it, because chuds brigading something means it upsets them.

That dickhead wouldn’t understand responsibility if it tattooed a scarlet R onto his chest.

depends on the instance.

i really miss lemm.ee… it was just, y’know, nice. a nice place. with nice people. friendly, cheerful, open, welcoming.

then you have some instances that are rather uh … combative >.> i shan’t name names lest i accidentally summon their unwanted attention.

i’m new to my current instance and it’s a very cozy place so far. i worry i might be too edgy for the time being, but i’m hoping to sand those edges down, because goodness knows this cursed decade’s roughness has left me rough too. the Screaming Twenties have no brakes…

…

oh my god

is that what it was the whole time O.O;

many negotiate. very deal. wow.

everything he touches turns to shit

kayfabe has done irreparable harm to society. because that’s what his cultists are huffing. they’re in it for the spectacle. this is their circus and he is their favorite clown. but they are incapable of acknowledging reality because it would spoil their fun–until it directly affects them of course. it’s the biggest game of make believe in modern history that isn’t actually registered as a religion… but i wouldn’t put it past them if they did do that, eventually ._.;

i don’t even care if it harms me; i just wish these foul sickening monsters would face consequences for what they’ve done. ugh >.(\

indeed, some of us are things rather than people ;3
