>>2267649 558 posts and 145 image replies omitted.>>2272490If I recall correctly he literally runs a small welding business or something along those lines. I'm a grocery worker. I'm absolutely certain Felix isn't doing 14 hour shifts in the coal mines and dealing with the black lung. I'm not either, of course, but chalking it up to proletarian desperation is ridiculous. I know people who work two, sometimes three jobs. I've got friends that literally live in trailers out in the woods and do contract work for the government alongside a bunch of ex-cons; some of the places they go to are so impoverished that they've got stories of coworkers getting shot as part of gang initiations.
None of them, absolutely none of them, act like Iron Felix. They aren't constantly on the verge of tears ranting and raving about all the people they can't wait to kill and calling everyone else a pussy for not blowing up a factory RIGHT NAAAAO.
Yeah, it was dumb to joke about hiring a PI, I was at work and my thought process was more along the lines of exposing the "internet tough guy" for being an anti-social shut in. The fact of the matter is Felix is acting monumentally stupid.
Assuming he IS doing revolutionary praxis (absolutely certain he isn't) then going on an imageboard and screeching "AMERICA HAS TO BE DESTROYED NOW! BLOW UP FACTORIES! KILL COPS!" Is literally putting not just him, but
every single person who might help him. Assuming people actually are working with him to blow up a factory or what have you. Seriously, if you're planning to take that kind of direct action, then Godspeed, but if a guy in your group is going online day after day screeching "I'M THE REAL REVOLUTIONARY, WE'RE GONNA KILL ALL OF YOU, AMERICA HAS TO BE DESTROYED NOW!" Then he's compromised and associating with him any further is gonna land you in a jail cell. Especially when your *real fucking name and face have been doxxed*.
But again, I'm absolutely certain that he isn't actually doing anything. If he is, then he's endangering himself and the people around him for the sake of *image board rep*. That said, the way Felix acts on here is incredibly suspicious. And while I don't like tossing fed accusations wildly, generally speaking the guy in any socialist org who's loudly screeching about how we need to blow shit up now and calling people pussies for not listening to him is either a drug-addicted nihilist more interested in suicide, or a cop. You really don't have to search far (*cough* The Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute a Marxist–Leninist Party *cough*) to find examples of feds acting like ultras to cause schisms.
So yeah, sorry about the joke, but at the end of the day Felix is a malignant narcissist, a fed, or a dumbass. Maybe all three! And his actions are just gonna land anyone associating with him in trouble.
>>2272560>that faceYou can't tell me someone that pale goes outside.
(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) >>2272568> Like, the zoomers call it main character syndromeThat’s dumb.
Everyone is the main character of their life. Bitches never played an MMO. In fact, that’s a better analogy. Leftists all want to play tank or get the glory of doing all the damage, but no one wants to play healer.
>>2272458Iron Felix is permabanned for his Ukraine thread shenanigans (Putin cum tributes aside, he also spammed gore and generally advocated for deranged and uncritical support for Russia, until his predictions about Putin were proven to be wrong at which point he became even weirder and entirely anti-Ukraine while also being anti-Putin). Beyond that he's also calling for terrorist adventurism and other stuff explicitly against site rules.
The only reason why he was continually posting was because he was using the TOR node for ban evading since we can't limit who accesses it, just that anyone can access it or not. But he (and some other TOR posters) have become so disruptive that we're going to put the TOR node on ice for a while and hope they fuck off. If not we might permanently ban the node.
>>2272611Imho it was a damned-if-we-do damned-if-we-don't situation. TOR was already being used for samefagging and false-flagging regularly by people trying to start drama (Felix included) which real users had no way to identify. The TOR node was already compromised to a heavy level with spam and abuse, at least this way the users could identify that abuse in a better way.
The alternative was to get rid of the TOR node then and there. The only workable solution in the long run is making it so that you can only post on TOR if we allow you to through some kind of registration because otherwise it's just a haven of people like Felix.
>>2272621That's the magic of it, he does it in a completely incorrect way. Can't even be right when he's right.
>>2272624He's anti-Putin for not killing more Ukrainian and anti-Ukrainian because he thinks they are genetically nazis or something deranged like that.
>>2272625Eugene is also perma'd but he buys a lot of VPNs. Best way to be rid of him is to report him. But people also impersonate him for giggles sometimes so there are false-positives.
>>2272629>>2272632I can see you samefagging, retard.
>>2272634>He's anti-Putin for not killing more Ukrainian and anti-Ukrainian because he thinks they are genetically nazis or something deranged like that.Ahh, an enlightened
centrist autist.
This is probably a very Yakubian thing for me to say but like, my major issue with Settlers types is that there seems to be no acknowledgement that people of color can play a part in upholding capitalism and imperialism. There's black cops and Latinos supporting Trump yet these people seem to be of no immense concern to your typical Maoist. I will concede that white people are probably overall a greater concern though.
>>2272623I just want Felix to be a sane communist. I wish him no ill will.
Walking 3 miles there and then another 3 miles back when my shift is done in 100 degree weather for my what-a-job that pays $11 an hour, not enough to pay my rent or really afford anything. While the apartment that I rent is also hot as fuck and slummy as hell because it's just a fucking slum, it is what it is, it doesn't stay cool in here, there's no insulation, this was essentially a shed someone turned into an apartment. It does quickly begin to radicalize you, more so than you already are. 3 miles isn't that long of a walk, but it could be less than a mile if there wasn't a giant interstate serving as a wall that I have to walk around. So that's fun, too. You notice these little things. Of course, I will admit there's a voice in the back of my head that's going, there are people who deal with worse. Imagine if you had to walk six miles to work. Imagine if it was peak of the summer. Imagine. Just trying to think of ways that things could be worse, and I feel like if you're at that point, maybe that's not the play. Maybe it's okay to be like, things are pretty bad for me.
