"I think both things are bad!"

"Do you spend a roughly equal amount of time complaining about both of them?"

"Well... no..."

Honestly wtf was up with old time adventure people? They'd like drag a whole fucking house with them, "Oh dear I can't spend a week in Antarctica without a claw foot bathtub!"

True, gas would make more sense in their situation

Curious if they're electric, diesel or hybrid. Article doesn't say.

Dude, you have some hair in your face.

The problem is who gets to decide what's acceptable and what isn't?

Yeah! Who gets to decide if it's acceptable for me to take a shit on the floor at Arby's? Who died and made you God Arby's manager?

I agree

Real clever of Putler to plant that old as fuck Nazi collaborator in Canada. Really dedicated to the long game he is!

Incel was probably too extreme of a comparison. My point is, while socialism would perhaps make it easier for individuals to confront these problems, a lot of the leg work to actually improve their situation still falls on the individual. I may have an easier time working on not being a basement dwelling troglodyte under socialism but i still would have to do the bulk of the work myself.

Okay, I'm gonna be the bad guy here and use this post to say something I've been wanting to say: I think a lot of online leftists are a bit too optimistic about how much socialism will fix interpersonal problems.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm sure abolishing capitalism will be an overall net positive for humans mental health. But I see a lot of people here assume that they'd have totally awesome social and love lives if it weren't for capitalism still being a thing and I can't help but roll my eyes a bit, it strike me a bit like incel logic, or basement dwelling AnCaps who think they'd totally be John Galts of industry if it weren't for taxes.

Again, socialism would likely help, but you can still be an awkward and/or maladjusted weirdo who can't talk to girls under socialism. I'd rather be a friendless weirdo in a society where I also don't have to deal with the stresses of looming poverty over my head, and yeah maybe I'd have an easier time making friends if I had more time off and lived in a city with better PT. But I think a lot of the bullshit that makes me an anti-social dork wouldn't be automatically improved by me living in a dictatorship of the proletariat.

As for dating and romance, again capitalism sure ain't helping, but I also think there's a lot less material incentive to get in a relationship these days and as a result a lot of people are finding they're happier single and independent than in a mediocre relationship. The boomer phenomenon of married couples who fucking hate each other but stay together out of fear of "being alone" inspired a lot of younger people to try and learn how to be okay with being alone so they wouldn't end up finding boomer "I hate my wife" comedy funny. Again maybe socialism would make it easier for people to network and find relationships that actually work for them, but I think some of it is also just an evolution of how humans feel about family building and cohabitation.

It's better citations than you fucking Libs can ever provide

Those dudes couldn't get cooler looking balaclavas?

Sounds like one of those ethno-nationalist anarchists, if you're gonna find them anywhere it's twitter

Where did they claim to be a leftist?

I followed a fair amount of Chinese speaking leftists on the bird site at the time and none of them ever used it so yeah, I thought he was fairly unique in that regard.

He was the only person I ever saw use the term.

What on earth caused you to have such a dramatic reaction to what I said?

Yeah I think that was his name. He went on a weird anti-furry rant like a year ago for some reason.

I thought it was just that one Taiwanese rapper who got banned from Twitter
