otherwise TRVKE

>>724668
fedora tippers, making atheism your whole thing and going around bothering normal non zealous religious people, being a dick to christian socialists for example.

>anyone with nostalgia for the past
True.
>anyone obsessed with videogames or escapism
Mostly true, not entirely, but even if they're not reactionary it's a problem.
>anyone too obsessed with technology, gadgets or AI
What is too obsessed? This one's a little open ended, but I think I know who you're talking about.
>sport fanatics (you can watch sports just be normal about it)
Weird that this was the one you gave a qualifier, organized sports is pretty reactionary on the whole, at least where I come from.
>overly zeaolous religious people
Depends on the religion and their interpretation of it but usually true.
>overly zealous atheists
Always makes me think of Christopher Hitchens, so yeah.
>chomos
Do I even care about their politics?
>men who pay for sex
Nah, that has zero predictive power over someone's politics, but people with above average whorephobia always end up having a bunch of reactionary takes hidden away.
>gooners
I have no position, I don't know these people, they seem troubled.
>TERFS
Truth.
>people who mistreat service job workers
Truth
>opiate users
This is just dumb and classist, most opiate users are workers who've been overprescribed medications to numb them to the damage of forty plus hour work weeks. The rest make sense mostly, this gives me suspicions about you op

>anyone too obsessed with technology, gadgets or AI
OP, you are a reactionary luddite

>normal religious people
Lmao

videogames SHOULDN'T be escapism
anyone mentioning videogames as escapism should be sent back to preschool to relearn how to play.

play is the first school of life.
kittens that never play-fight could die clumsily.
humans that never play forget how to create.

math was born from gambling,
trying to grasp odds, stakes,
and the hidden patterns of the world.

homo ludens is not just a slogan,
it's the breath of the living geist.

the day we stop playing is the day we stop learning.

I'm guilty of:
>anyone with nostalgia for the past
<Will never apologize for this one
>anyone obsessed with videogames or escapism
<I wouldn't say I'm obsessed
>anyone too obsessed with technology, gadgets or AI
<I work in IT unfortunately
>sport fanatics (you can watch sports just be normal about it)
<What does being "normal" about it entail?
>men who pay for sex
<You always pay ;) Not being pedantic–I have a couple of times, I'm non-white and not rich enough to make up for it.

what even is "escapism". cant any hobby qualify since you dont think about anything else while you do them.

>>724666
>>anyone with nostalgia for the past
so basically anyone?
>>anyone obsessed with videogames or escapism
it's an unhealthy way to live but it's not wrong to seek escape from a world which we all acknowledge is pretty bad.
>>anyone too obsessed with technology, gadgets or AI
technology is Marxist actually
>>sport fanatics (you can watch sports just be normal about it)
>>overly zeaolous religious people
>>overly zealous atheists
feel like half your post is just "people who like things too much" (and i unironically agree)
>>chomos
>>TERFS
>>people who mistreat service job workers
well duh
>>men who pay for sex
but not women?
>>opiate users
what about lean?

>>724860
>but not women?
Can you provide me at least one (1) example of a woman paying for sex?

I LOVE romanticism. I fully accept that it is 100% reactionary. I understand its evolution into fascist culture. But I still maintain that I LOVE ROMANTICISM.
