Look, I’m not explicitly stating that the only good fascist is one that’s dead.

lol, fucking bye stupid shitbags. Hope every single one of you shit your pants.

I kinda figured I wasn’t the only one to think Gollum when I initially saw this, but it’s good to have it confirmed with poetry such as this.

Once again, this is another ridiculous take that once again only serves to shift blame to the working class. The American people are not a fucking monolith. What you’ve done here is taken an example or two of things that vaguely happened and have generalized an entire population with those examples with non sequiturs stitching everything together. It’s a giant claim to say that “Americans have demonstrated zero capability to reign in their ruling class” on top of it being a very vague claim that certainly appears to have the tools ready to put some wheels on a goalpost. So I’m gonna go ahead and point out that for one: you’ve made the same sweeping generalization as the parent comment that you already admitted went too far. And also, you’re still making the same fundamental mistake with the sweeping generalization in that it’s not only inaccurate by its very nature, but counterproductive by further dividing the people already victimized by those in power. Don’t blame it on the American, don’t blame it on the jew, blame it on the fucking system.

… bro, this single comment isn’t even internally logically consistent. You very clearly don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to what systems are and how they relate to people. You need to get off the internet for a bit or something. This was not a coherent response in that I’m not even sure how to engage with it. Like… yeah, war crimes are bad and way too many American troops got away with them, but what does that have to do with the rest of the population and their complicity in the systems of war perpetuated by those in power? And then the leap to religious… stuff? Also, what the fuck is “the bag”? And why are you claiming I “believe” in only that? Also, what the fuck does that even mean?

Look, the only thing I can think to respond to you is that I think you’re very outraged by what is happening (which, like, yeah, any rational person would be), but I think you might be letting your outrage cloud your judgement and direct your anger in the wrong direction. What’s happening certainly is impossibly outrageous, but what can you and I do about it right now? Fight others in the working class about it? Well, that sounds like making it worse. How about we don’t do that? Take some time to cool off?

Maybe, just maybe saying dumb shit like “death to [country]” is oversimplified bullshit that only serves to distract from what/who the real fucking enemy is. It’s the people in power that send the masses to kill each other on the battlefield, literally sending the working class to fight itself. To say that the people of America(or any country) are the system is a fundamental breakdown of understanding what the fuck a system or people even are. To equate a voting population as 100% complicit with every decision their government makes is beyond dumbfuck baby bullshit. The system is what is fucked, and the people in power are who perpetuate and make that system worse. Your dumbshit take is nothing short of insane and if I weren’t all too aware of the lunacy people fall into with online algorithms, I would be convinced you’re just another fucking troll. Although, tbf, the American government could use some unhinged takes online like this to justify more bullshit world policing.

Tankies are just dishonest jackholes. I’m fairly certain like 80-90% of the tankies you meet online are state-sponsored trolls like the fucking IRA(the lame, loser Russian one, not the based Irish one), and the rest are basement-dwelling neckbeards that do next to nothing in the way of social organizing. Either way, they’re dishonest bootlicking dickheads.

Yeah, I feel this sentiment very strongly. Complacency is what they want, because then you just mindlessly participate in the system. It’s difficult to not participate in the system by default since it’s like “hey man, I just work live here”. So not only do you need to be educated in wtf these systems even are, why they’re bad, and how to best engage/disengage with them, you have to actively make an effort to change with energy not a whole lot of people have these days. Some may see this reaction to Microsoft as silly and overblown, but people getting rid of windows could literally save their life due to the systems of surveillance built by Microsoft aiding increasingly dangerous and malicious political actors.

Haha, thanks man. For me personally, I’m a socialist and punk to my very soul, so the hate for Microsoft runs ultra deep. In addition to everything I mentioned before, I’ve become much more wary of the software running in my house due to an increase in political risk. There’s no longer just a privacy consideration for general security, but now a heightened existential risk involved. Microsoft is part of the problem in perpetuating the existing system of oppression, so absolutely fuck em.

I’ve been absolutely seething over Microsoft’s bullshit for years. Over the years of having less and less control over my own fucking computer, the parasitic privacy invasion, the dumbfuck constant bloat, the cartoon level evil of Microsoft in general, the constant degradation, forcing unnecessary features and ads, and generally just the sheer audacity. Honestly, I’ve just kinda been putting up with it for not much more than “it works for now and I’m just tired, man”. However, then Microsoft started pushing ai and some updates that were literally bricking systems so I could no longer justify having a switch from windows being such a low priority; it was now a liability. I’m now running CachyOS and I’m quite happy with the switch. Everything just fucking works, not to mention the very noticeable performance boost. Fuck Microsoft.

Mentioning covid is actually spot on for me. I can only speak of my experience, but I seriously doubt my experience with ADHD becoming dramatically worse during covid lockdown and never really recovering is unique to me.

I strongly agree with the suggestion to do couples counseling. ADHD is a sonofabitch that makes us work twice as hard just to get half a far as someone without ADHD. There’s legitimately only so much we can do, despite our strong feelings of having the squandered opportunity to do more. NT people will never be able to understand what it’s like to have ADHD, just like we’ll never be able to understand what it’s like to be NT. A good therapist should help to bridge that gap.

And I sympathize with you greatly. I’ve had many relationships of all different sorts suddenly implode because of my ADHD throughout life. I hate that helpless black-hole feeling. I’m extremely lucky in the fact that my wife also has ADHD, but I definitely still feel that extremely uncomfortable strain at times. A thing that has helped me is to recognize that those relationships have never truly ended while I still carry the memories and the way they’ve changed me. It still hurts like a motherfucker, but it hurts less.

I know it hurts a whole lot as I can’t keep myself from legitimately crying right now just remembering how I can relate, but I hope that helps to let you know that you’re not alone. Keep fighting the good fight and I’ll try to do the same.
