God I can’t stand the fucking “DC’ite” culture…

I hold some hope that the younger generation can change things, but honestly, most younger hindu americans i know mostly don’t care and are all about the “STEM grind” bullshit.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

Yeah what the FUCK is the OP trying to do with the New Atheist level bullshit? It should honestly be reported for low-key racism.

Wait medical debt isn’t on credit reports now?

I think it’s important to highlight that even us here (hexbear, lemmygrad, etc.) can fall into the trap of quickly judging someone and passing immediate moral judgment without looking at all the other stuff a person does/says. I’ve listened to her more chill podcast where she talks with people who call in (it’s called The Debrief) as well as a decent number of Bad Faith episodes. I get that she worked during the day at the Hill, a right wing media source, but how many leftists have been seen on other “not leftist” media sources such as RT, Al Jazeera, etc. I get the sense that she is definitely more than a “western leftist” and is quite anti-imperialist.

Brianna is legit

I’ve always thought so, but you’d be surprised how many in this sub have unironically called her a grifter. I’ve seen it many times here.

Here’s one example I found real quick: https://hexbear.net/post/235686?scrollToComments=false

They are grifters… and are in the orbit of most of the grifter greats including but not limited to Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Briahna Joy Gray, Glenn Greenwald, Jackson Hinkle

Here’s another just in case someone says “oh it’s only one example you found”: https://hexbear.net/comment/2720901

I feel like she’s been in the grift zone since the Bernie campaign ended

Finally here’s a third just for good measure: https://hexbear.net/comment/2957658

Lol of course Briahna Joy Gray is doing this. I mean, I’m a little surprised at Useful Idiots without Matty T is doing this shit, but goddamn is it just abunch of post-Bernie grifters.

I dunno, I know his brain is cooked, but this isn’t really a good example. It seems more like they were done taking a picture and he decided to go check out the parachute guy. And then they called him back and said “hey we gotta take more pictures.” I can understand being annoyed with standing there to take a picture and wanting to get the fuck out.

I assume you’re a cis-het guy? Not gonna lie it’s gonna be tough going to events solo, as a single guy automatically puts many people’s defenses up. Also tbh you’re not gonna find great advice on hexbear when it comes to specifically male loneliness issues. It might be better to find a site/forum that specifically caters to that.

probably more indicative of an underlying issue where they aren’t pursuing self-actualization by cultivating special interests or hobby skills.

Uhh what’s up with this Jordan Peterson BS you’re spouting? This sounds like some “clean your room” shit.

I just don’t understand why these people have no interests already? Like why ask people for ideas in what to do who doesn’t know what hiking is? I recommend meetup.com though for sure, there’s also bumble bf and some other apps if ou search that one

But yeah choose thing you like to do—-> apply public/outside/other humans and you can be healthy then

“I just don’t understand why people find it hard to get a job and a car and a house? Just go out there, find one, and save money. It’s sO eAsY!”

With all due respect, get the fuck out with that shit. This is supposed to be a place of support, not judgmental fucking bullshit like you’re spouting.

OP can you please make a meme from this pic? It’s a very memable comparison

but I do want to make sure we’re comparing apples to apples.

You’re right, it’s actually a genocide zone, so that’s your comparison for you.

And if you wanna go there, CW(genocide):

so all in all this is a complete dunk for amerikkka.

everyone going on about ‘but muh warzone,’

And they’re completely denying that it is, in fact, a genocide zone. Stupid fucks

They clearly meant in the sense that we have evolved to think spiders are creepy/scary.

Using the “evo science” logic, then we are also afraid of strangers, so that reasoning is often used against the “other” so no, it’s not baiting but based on actual atrocities committed against those that were seen as “scary.” Please don’t minimize that.

This post was made in the politics comm. If it had been made in /c/vegan or /c/chapotraphouse or /c/chat it would be read differently. In the context of the politics comm it reads as an earnest statement intended to be read at face value. The choice of venue shapes how the message is perceived. The post reads as a political statement that killing bugs reveals a person to have fascist character.

I call complete cap on that. If anything this sounds like you trying to tone police based on “venue” or some ephemeral construct like that. “Oh I support your right to protest but do it in the rIGhT wAy!!” kinda shit. I see posts in all kinds of comms, including this one, that link behaviors with tendencies. Cuz you know, “everything is political” right? But with this all of a sudden come the “rules/regulations” BS? With all due respect, eff off with that shit.

but this is not an appropriate way to present that view.

Yup white moderate vibes… smh

Like, people have deep rooted fears that are based on actual dangers (and who knows how much of that is rooted in some kind of genetic understanding).

Careful, that’s some very reasoning

Yeah reading comp is beyond some here…

They pretty much tell on themselves here: https://international.dsausa.org/statements/on-russias-invasion-of-ukraine/

They “condemn” Russia. What a joke… No wonder the Global South doesn’t give a shit about the Democratic Sheepherders of America. I didn’t see anything on their site supporting Venezuela, China, DPRK, etc. I only see milquetoast “we stand with the ‘people’ of Venezuela, Cuba, etc.” They’re too chicken to actually support any of the governments in AES countries. They only support “the people” of those countries. What a fucking cop-out scaredy-cat fucking response. That’s like when libs/chuds say “I hate the goverment but support the people!” fucking bullshit. Fuck the DSA. Actually, after seeing those “statements” I’m going to actively tell people I know to stay the fuck away from DSA. They’re waaay worse than I thought.

The tendency in DSA is uncritical support of anti-imperialist state or militant action, especially within the international committee which puts out the vast majority of comms on these topics. The “Robin” in this meme, putting forward any formal critique (a fundamental and essential component of practicing Marxism) is very much the minority position.

I’ll believe it when I see it
