A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

Schizos are too busy to practice art properly and penmanship and symbols are harder than people think.

Another day another retard on Twitter pushing for democracy from quotemining Lenin and Engels and ignoring the rest of the source texts.
https://twitter.com/ygzgzot/status/1985443412431323360#m

Engels isn't praising democracy, he is pointing out that under a monarchy the working class has zero chance to seize power, and that a democracy is the only setup where that could even happen. But history already proved that wrong. They also totally ignored everything Lenin said about democracy in that same chapter and just cherry-picked a few lines to make it sound like Lenin was some big fan of democracy when he was just correcting Kautsky, who calls the soviets undemocratic and accuses them of suppressing freedom and all that shit, while ignoring the class nature of the DoTP. That's why Lenin was pointing out their achievements, not contrasting proletarian with bourgeois democracy.

Because burgers all have shitbulls if they don't have little yorkie or bichon rats.

>>2549056
im in the third world and rich fucks also have this retarded culture of treating dogs like actual children and spending lots of money on random bullshit for them

The turbojannies at Bluesky finally acted on BE terrorizing the local liberals.

What an embarrassing place. I guess USAnos finally have their wishes, one Twitter full of Nazis moderated by a MAGAtards. And another Twitter full of #resistance liberals and tumblrinas, moderated by Cuomosexuals.

>>2549077
>twitter LARPer
>cannot see the difference between reality and social media

Based.

>>2549077
Nazis should feel afraid again, me thinks

>>2549253
What was he saying?


>>2549118
1. He's gonna be the next prime minister.
2. Everytime he comes up with a new layer to his worldview, adding something to his tale. For example, in one of his latest books he said the moon is some kind of antenna projecting mass deceptions on Earth, but in a later book he said the actual origin of the signals is Saturn and the moon is just a relay.
3. For a period he lived with his wife and a girlfriend in the same home. I don't remember the details, but I guess the ladies were both pregnant at some point and their pregnancy overlapped at least in part.
4. In the eighties he was something like national spokesperson for the green party while he already had mainstream visibility as a sport journalist.
5. When he was even younger, he made an attempt as a professional footballer career, but he had to give up at just 21 because he had arthritis. That's when he switched to journalism. Also, you can tell the illness fucked him up quite badly by looking at his hands.
5. I've always found him an engaging speaker.
6. I guess he lives on the Isle of Wight and he stacked up hundreds of lightbulbs of a kind that was removed from sale years ago because he says that the new kind of lightbulbs are dangerous.
7. All in all, he's a much more interesting and fun character than the dross coming from across the pond - the loathsome and luckily dead Charlie Kirk, the groyper-in-chief Nick Mexican Fuentes, the Turkish male-bimbo trust fund baby and son of a landlord HasanAbi. He's a boomer but one of the interesting ones.

If I was him, I would consider the 'rude' label as a badge of honour. I guess I've only checked bluesky once or twice, I don't know anything about it except it's supposed to be the lib alternative to twitter. I suppose it really is if you get labeled 'rude'.

>>2549403
Well, take it with a pinch of salt. If you consider him like some kind of character of a bizarre film, maybe even a Monthy Python one - which is appropriate, him being English - than it's good fun.

>>2549407
How is that nowadays everywhere you look at it's cluster Bs all around? It's almost as if this system is built to reward certain pathological traits…

>>2549430
>the christcuck vs the whitenatcuck

>>2549434
>It's almost as if this system is built to reward certain pathological traits…
it doesn't reward most of them
what is classified as "cluster B traits" are coping mechanisms and are either
>severely maladaptive ("BPD"/"HPD")
or, if you have had better luck in the genetic lottery and a "machist" upbringing/culture,
>potentially adaptive ("NPD"/"ASPD")

They will do less harm than Alive corrupt ones

>>2549469
1. Based.
2. Why does Burgerland use those stupid ballots you have to completely fill an oval with ink while virtually everywhere in the world you just put an x or a tick in a box or on a name and that's it?
3. Why don't they vote on sundays?

im absolutely feral for zohrans bitch. im fucking ravenous. he cant handle that, he doesnt know what to do with that. he cant satisfy a baddie like that. she needs a real marxist in her life and a real dick inside her. zohran if youre reading this im coming for your girl dont lack.

>>2549572
that's new york's first lady? goddamn


>>2549671
I wonder what his Taiwanese girlfriend thinks reading that shit.

>>2549715
Do you mean his imaginary girlfriend?

>>2549734
His gf is some young labor careerist

How do we deal with the fact that Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit etc are all completely embedded with all kinds of reactionary memetic traps which hook people into an alternate reality?

lmao, lib poetic justice since he is trolls like fucking crazy

>>2549424
One of them, or atleast they supported, a woman who raped a little boy – specifically the South Korea 4b group that popularized the almost pinching emoji.
Plus there is misandry motivated crimes but it's one offs.


>>2548968
I haven't watched it (yet) since it'll (kinda already has) trigger my deep anger against feminists, does this cover how these people affected how feminists engage in politics?
They basically use misandry to argue why it's rape to make a convincing argument for someone that hasn't lived their life, or won't vote for someone who actively defended a genocide live on tv.

>>2549827
You talk to them irl as best you can about things that matter.

>One of them
<atleast they supported
pales in comparison to the horrifying shit south korean men do, search up "Nth room" and "south korea spycam"/"molka"
>South Korea 4b group
the movement of 4b is an entirely appropriate reaction to this deeply sick and misogynistic capitalist hellscape

>>2549253
ngl soft-muting someone and tagging with "Rude (Account)" is a hilarious bit

>>2549253
Imagine making a twitter clone WORSE than X. Holy moly

>>2549951
4b is a complete meme and doesn't exist outside the internet and sensationalist media.

>>2549951
Two wrongs do not make a right. Screw them both. They’re products of the Chaebol nightmare of South Korea

>>2549424
One of them r a little boy in Australia and fled back to Korea. The 4b posters supported it.

>>2550023
One them are a little boy in Australia?

>>2545361
isn't ventti some kinda halfrican coconut? being a half black autistic camho for /pol/ kkkrackers is rough as guts. the blackface is more like a cry for help than something truly offensive. to be real as fuck I just pity this sad ass bitch and her lopsided titties.

>>2549954
I agree
It would be gay on an imageboard but it's fucking hilarious on a twitter clone, god I gotta get on bluesky

>>2549864
