I think liberals are stupid. Genuinely stupid, as in misinformed. Problem is, most people are liberals and not out of choice.

> the ussr anthem is the greatest national anthem ever written
i sometimes sing the paul robeson version

what makes a take "lifestyle communist"?

the average lib is at most misinformed but can still be reasoned with. cuckservatives on the other hand are literal cattle made for slavery

How is it not out of choice?
And if anything it's the other way around. Trump supporters believe he's a good guy who doesn't lie and who has their best interests in mind. How much more ignorant can you get??

Algorithmic media, protestant churches, and rural communities create a bubble of information and normalize/rationalize all of the liberal/conservative bullshit. In other words, they're brainwashed. Most people of whatever inclination aren't interested in questioning their bubble and researching takes effort. Bullshit is obvious to us because we're all decently educated contrarians so we're trained for skepticism, but many are trained for dogmatism instead.

Another thing I forgot to add is that electoral politics aren't merely based around material interests (which are complicated enough as the bourgeois State machine is very complex), but are also based around identity and power fantasy. Trump was a power fantasy for many, a lot of bourgeois figures are power fantasies to lumpens and proles with false consciousness.

Trump is a weird case where I don't think its just a power fantasy but the the fact that maga boomers are quite similar to trump in terms of demeanor and personality. For example at any given point half the boomers in my family have that trumpian conception of reality where you just decide what you feel is true and thats just true now. They even talk with a similar cadence as the guy.

it's when you express a progressive opinion through consumer choice rather than actual political actions. for example, watching old mosfilms movies or using paper straws

I always play soviet planes in flight simulators because they are usually the most difficult to control. the p40 and the a6m feel like tutorial planes compared to the i16

but mostly I have "lifestyle anarchist" takes:

• distrust and avoid proprietary/bloated/ai-generated software
  
• distrust institutions in general, and assume they were not made to help me
  
• avoid most social media except for leftypol.org

oh, capitalist realism

food products with simple, outdated labels that have been produced since the soviet era are still better than their popular, heavily advertised counterparts

I also have a musical take, OP, but it's that singing socialist songs is based af. On long drives I won't listen to the radio and instead sing a mix of CPC songs and US labor songs.

I hate cops
