I … know almost no people born between 1990 and 2000.

But I know a bunch of GenZ … approaching … 30

How are both of these true

I don’t actively do it with the intention to make people submit. I do it because I don’t care about them and being mean to them is funny and good (we are talking about people who ultimately support fascism, here)

But also I don’t dunk on people I might have any genuine independent influence on; I do try to do the ‘support them into growing into the people they could be’ thing for those folks

Hexbears’ bullying absolutely worked on me lmao

Hmm, I guess I’m different. I know people often respond to shame in particular with defensiveness, but they should read Brené Brown and then not do that anymore /lh. Pretty sure research on guilt though shows that specific and appropriate guilt more often leads to constructive change, with embarrassment being kinda between shame and guilt.

Someone else asked a similar question to the first half of my comment. Are you open to sharing your perspective on those bits?

Do we use it as an insult? Or is it just an insulting thing to be called because being a liberal is bad and embarrassing? Do proud liberals actually take it as an insult? When I call Bibi a fascist, I’m not insulting him- I’m labeling him accurately.

Do you mean turning it into a pejorative like with shitlib? Do you mean that we should stop insulting liberals?

Regardless of those semantics (which I am asking about genuinely and am curious to hear your thoughts on):

I feel like it’s a double edged sword- social pressure, guilt, and shame are all really effective at influencing people. I want liberals in our spaces to think “Oh shit, should I be embarrassed to be a liberal?”. I think radlibs in particular are a perfect target for this- surely if they realized how embarrassing it is, they’d move further left?

You’re trending on tiktok rn

The volume does seem really loud, even with my volume turned down

Me, upvoting both of y’all’s comments

I’ve been diagnosing kids with “ADHD combined presentation, with associated emotion dysregulation” for years now

My opinions and personal anecdote were debunked by the article?

Here’s an article debunking your mom

I’ve heard if this guy. I read somewhere that he’s ur average performative celebrity, but he also larps every single fandom, said the N-Word, colabbed with zionists, bullied a girl for her race…

Do they have Zheng Yi Sao artifacts?

I read the article before commenting. I stand by what I said

The context in which you “pointed it out” is hella sus. It’s hard to imagine a motivation to say that when, where, and how you did that isn’t driven by antisemitism. You sound like one of the “Despite making up 13% of the population…” chuds, which is gonna get you an instaban anywhere with respectable mods. I wanna say BPR because you should absolutely know better

Side note: Every Jewish person I know (like a dozen) is anti-zionist, so I don’t really give af about your Nazi statistics- don’t bother arguing about it with me

Hm

The oldest zoomers are 29 rn

This is about purple libertarians, not yellow libertarians /lh

I downloaded this and now my phone is bricked what the hell

the fascist

Lol. You mean trying to stop one particular fascist in favor of another
