I love it when my internet leftists are posting at the level of a Fox News comment section

I’ve moved beyond horseshoe theory to believing that basically these are the same group of people

Wonder if its the same demo of hyper online but very uninformed people that we see on Facebook with cons

The main salient qualities of said demo being that they're lonely & unhappy

Applying for a government grant to destroy stochastic radicalization through teaching Warhammer to sad online people

Warhammer, book clubs, start a band; we need a federal Department of Hobbies

Piling dumptruck loads of money on local gadflys to organize bake sales and Christmas soirées would do more for progressive politics than anything Tim steyer has spent money on

we are going to recreate masonic lodges and church potlucks but centered around 21st century nerd shit (whispers: and that’s good)

I quit smoking cigarettes in February partially by binging on 40K lore and figuring out which faction I want to play as. White Scars fwiw.

Model construction and painting has been very soothing, and list building and learning play styles has been very entertaining too

I’ve heard worse plans.

There were plenty of people at the Other Place that called themselves MagaCommunist and said it with a straight face.

Surreal is so overused but Maga Communist IS surreal. I've seen those people HERE! (Not lately, I blocked them.)

Best I can tell, MagaCommunist means “I’m edgy, punk-rock, non-conformist, and BORED. I wanna see it ALL burn down because the Normies were mean to me as a kid”

"I have the views on Biden of most people of my background but, uh, FROM THE LEFT."

This is going to be this generation's, "I'm really more of a libertarian" (i.e., "I basically have my dad's politics, but I'm not, you know, Old").

also true for people who hate their dad - so much!

Expecting these people to vote Dem is the same thing as expecting MAGA voters to vote Dem. They just hold it over your head that they should vote that way so it's your fault for not convincing them.

My Internet Leftists complaining that Biden is taking weekends and not always working from the office. Horseshoe theory but for socialists and RTO-mandating bosses.

These are not leftists they’re Trumpers

🧲

On the bright side, thanks for giving me two more accounts to block! (I already had one of those wackadoodles blocked, I was pleased to see.)

I'd be more sympathetic if they'd point to Bad Things that Biden has done that Trump *won't* do, only harder and with no lubricant.

In fairness, there have been more COVID deaths since Biden took office than there were this far into Trump's term

Um, Covid didn't arrive until Trump's last year in office, and took months to ramp up, while Biden has been in office for three years; moreover Covid peaked 2021-2022, so how is that remark even asserting a comparison?

silver lining I guess, that's a top-tier collection of accounts to block

"I didn't wear my seatbelt today and nothing bad happened to me, therefore I will never wear a seatbelt again"

Thanks. Blocked them. Need to keep it real.

Makes me wonder if Biden shouldn't have added another element to the rubric of who gets their student loan erased.
