I particularly like the blurry logo in the corner saying "stop masturbation now.org

I have grappled with similar thoughts before, and I still do in some ways. Shit is extremely bad here, and it can feel extremely demoralizing and hopeless. That being said, I have made the decision to stay, at least for now, to fight for the bioregion I view as my home. Che Guevara apparently said “I envy you north Americans, you have the privilege to fight in the belly of the beast.” Which I respect as a sentiment. I don’t judge you for choosing to leave though. Pure stubbornness only hoes so far and at a certain point you have to prioritize your mental and physical well-being

That looks like possibly the most awesome job imaginable

AOC stands for Alexandria ocasio capitulates again and again to Zionism and Yankee imperialism

He cant help himself but to keep changing his “ideology,” likely because he has almost no underlying principles. Makes sense for a YouTuber

My thoughts on it are that anyone who complains about “kink at pride” should be remorselessly ridiculed. Its a part of our traditions. Part of The point of pride is to publicly and proudly practice our queerness, especially those aspects which are unpalatable to capital, “respectable” society and which have been historically shunned or repressed.

its mostly rooted in corporate bullshit where everything has to be clean for little 12 year old shits to spend their parentss credit card on useless landfilling plastic crap.

Hits the nail on the head.

Also. I don’t care if kids see nudity/sexually explicit content etc. It doesn’t actually cause harm. Puritanical ideology harms kids, and causes them to grow up with a terrible relationship with their sexuality.

Liberalism is an authoritarian ideology in my opinion. Private land ownership is in all cases based on violence and oppression, and liberal “democracy” is an oligarchic sleight of hand, protecting an entrenched class hierarchy. That is why liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism: it builds the apparatus for the violent repression of the poor by necessity, in order to preserve the order of private property and private land ownership

The political compass is already trite and fundamentally unserious (implying that there is such a thing as a libertarian right lol). This is especially so.

Brilliant propaganda strategy of European libs: anything you don’t like is a Russian covert op. The involvement of any Russian person (or anyone who has ever been to Moscow) is unquestionable proof. If you question this? Your sounding a lot like a Kremlin propagandist buddy…

I especially like releasing wolves inside the capitol…

Was allegedly involved in search and rescue mission for the crew of the plane shot down earlier today

I think I’m one if the few people on this site in that age range (I’m 23), and I actively organize with many people in their early 20s. My experience is much less universally negative, though there are elements of it I see. Irony poisoning, apathy and disillusionment seem to be extremely widespread. On the one hand, certain reactionary viewpoints (esp misogyny) will be stated more openly by some, but finding a genuine supporter of any given reactionary politician is quite rare in my experience-- in fact even those who are vocally misogynistic tend to be equally vocally anti any reactionary politician they can name. No one has much hope for the future yet turning that disillusionment into action can be quite difficult.

In my workplace, “Epstein class” rhetoric is pretty much universal. sympathy with Iran and Palestine is commonplace (people post Iran Lego videos in the work group chat regularly, and people reply “death to Israel”), sympathy for the us army and the police is minimal. However this coexists with jokes about sexual assault, ZOG posting, and hustle grind brainworms, and even pro deportation comments. Oh and ableist language is all pervasive. But I’m openly queer and trans on a blue collar job in a rural area, and I have only ever had serious issues with that around coworkers over 40. I don’t know if that would have been the case 10 years ago.

I think the overall trend is disillusionment and even pseudo radicalization becoming extremely normal, without any coherent ideological framework behind it. The tendency usually expresses itself in adventurism or inaction. I have yet to see it manifest in fascism (to most people my age, trump is the usa establishment) in the traditional sense, but neither is it progressive per se. It is discontent that seems to reject action, organization or ideological coherence.
