    Same here comrade, I long ago got tired of trying to convert my friends and family that have reactionary tendencies. We can spend hours and get somewhere small, but when they spend all their time consuming reactionary media, its like trying to stop a tidal wave by throwing pebbles at it. IE its very effectively reproducing a conservative ideology, and without removing that process, we get nowhere.

    +1 on the hobbies too… all my hobbies have become things that I can do on my own, because most of my friends have no time to hang out, or live in other cities.

    Capitalism encourages this isolation and alienation in a way that literally goes against human nature, because we need to socialize. Its really sad for all of us.

      Perhaps I should just make a dating profile that’s says I just want some friend to hang out with, make soap, ferment foods, discuss communist propaganda, watch old movies, and drink.

        If you make a profile like that, though, you’ll sound cool af and your phone won’t stop pinging.

            I know that feeling. But it’s so common nowadays that many others will be in the same boat…
