Im giving you the benefit of the doubt here
Imma need you to confirm this is irony or hyperbole
i dont give a shit how much youve changed, it just means you must shut the fuck up about the issue since youve had a history of being so completely shit at being correct. Toe the line, what makes you think you've earned stepping past it?
I’m glad you have changed your views, but it wasn’t a knee jerk reaction in the slightest. It was reported three times before I finally removed it.
I wouldn't talk about this so freely if this was true. Do you think you were just generally very apathetic? What moved you out of apathy? Something I struggle with when trying to agitate people who think that way (lots of people I know who fully understand that Defense contractors are profiting off the genocide of Palestinians yet would take a job there anyway) is that apathy is a hole that's impossible to dig someone out of via external stimulus. If nothing matters, nothing can convince you that, actually, some things do matter (from which point other things can start mattering too, and it becomes an ideology). But that kind of all-consuming nihilism is a current that I see way too often and I think it's a major force behind fascism. But fascism succeeds at mobilizing nihilists and turning them into misanthropes, doesn't it? What's the secret to doing the opposite?
dude you reaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly want to dig a deeper hole
man seriously fuck you. idc if this comment was already removed, i need you to know how disgusting you are. the fact that you feel comfortable enough to admit this and then act indignant when called out on it is just fucking unbelievable to me. or i wish it was unbelievable, but apparently everyone on this fucking website is some ex-klanner piece of shit! you should be ashamed to show your face in public, much less act as though you have any fucking authority on left matters. i don’t care if you’ve supposedly changed, i would never trust someone like you to fight by my side. i have zero faith that you people, the apparent majority of my “comrades”, would not immediately throw me and the people i care about to the wolves if it meant the slightest perceived victory for the western left.
