sometimes this site is exhausting tbh. why is it that people here love armchair moralizing about other peoples’ decisions that don’t affect them (this is about the “eating slop” thread but i see it elsewhere too) without maybe considering that disabled people exist under capitalism too. i almost want to report that thread for ableism tbh.

You do wonder if there are people that turn to leftism generally because they feel it's the best way to look down their nose at others.
It is a thought I’ve had for a long time that this is what most western “leftism” is tbh
And combined with the Christian fetish for defeat shit, makes a really ugly combination.
i left a comment on there also about how a lot of the discourse conveniently also sidesteps the fact that a lot of cooking is invisible labor done by women
Pretty convenient for the he/hims of the world
he can get back to me once he tries cooking a chinese meal for 4 people several times a week and see how he likes it
Chinese food ain't easy to cook. A lot of spices being thrown around
Edit: now I'm craving grilled tofu...
istg sometimes i feel like this site is populated by wannabe health influencers turned communists.
This poisonous ideology is kind of omnipresent in the US as an derivative of christian moralizing. This site might be better than most than this, but it sure isn’t free of that plague.
I’ve modded here in the past on other accounts and a few other leftist places as well. The way I think about it is that people have relationships to these spaces that are similar to parasocial relationships but not quite. It is possible to get to know individuals in digital spaces in the same way as real life, usually through DMs. But for the most part, we create a gestalt of the community in our heads the represents the community like a single entity and we interact with that instead. And the community as a single agent doesn’t exist and therefore can’t interact back. It’s just a bunch of individuals treating you as a part of their own mental version of the community. So they act like they know everyone significantly better than they do. Because they know the community. But what is happening more often than not is that strangers or acquaintances are squabbling like close family.
And of course I don’t mean to diminish the specifics of what you’re saying. We can talk about the specifics of the morality of any particular issue. That’s normally as far as it goes. But the broader dynamic is always left alone because at the end of the day, the sense of community feels nice and deconstructing how it’s not a replacement for actual belonging just kinda sucks.
