Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

    I think terminology like “they are our friends” sounds and feels much better than “comrades” with all the far left totalitarian baggage. In my mind “camaraderie” is neutral.

    But I’m also the one propagating for affiliation for the causes, not dismissing people because of other ideological differences. For example, an anti-racist or environmental activity does not need everybody that wants to participate and support it to subscribe to my personal version of socialism. It makes me angry when some fringe group try to kidnap an event, regardless how much or little I agree with their ideological reality tunnel.

    Not really, no. I guess the closest thing is me calling myself an ally because it is the vernacular used by the queer community, but honestly I don’t really like the term. I feel it is weird to define that somebody is pro basic human rights and there is a danger of exclusion. I don’t think I deserve a title for fulfilling the lowest denominator of not being a dick.

    The only leftists I hear using “comrade” unironically are the Stalin apologists that are pro-Russia and pro-Putin today. Fuck them. Fuck them with a lightbulb. Fuck the ones that latch on an edgy ideology without knowing any history. Fuck the ones that know history even harder. Fuck them with a strip light that is already cracked. Fuck them all the way to the gulag where they can have their great purge group wank before they are shipped for the Ukraine meat grinder.

    OP, call yourself whatever you find fit and don’t bother with the online NKVD volunteer divisions.

    Personally, I’m a dirty filthy leftist socialist. I’m filth for the right wingers, the centrists and the far left totalitarians alike.


  • Hard to say. I’m into lady bits and not man bits, this is from experience. I have no issue finding a man attractive physically or even emotionally but sexually it’s a meh. Over my life I’ve had friends and acquaintances and colleagues that are of any gender and orientation, I don’t really care much in other relationships. I’ve dated bisexual and tomboys and I like confident women and I really like confident intelligent women despite myself being mid on smarts or maybe that’s why.

    It probably comes down to some basic chemistry and if they are interesting people. If they have lady bits and “just are” NB, it probably doesn’t matter much. If it is their entire personality that they are NB, then I probably just don’t get romantically or sexually interested in the first place.



  • I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this too and my theory is that it would be like someone offered you telepathy. Like, at first it sounds like an awesome superpower. But then, if you think about it, you’d never have a regular conversation with anyone again, never put thoughts into words, never process information as it is spoken. Maybe this will affect other ways you appreciate life. Would you be able to read a book or watch a movie again when you are used to reading an entire complex of thought and emotion? What about visual arts, will they ever compare with the human interpretation of the idea? Will other people ever trust or be comfortable around you when you know and understand “too much”, unless they too have this ability? Will they consider you a superior being or a freak? Will you consider them something lesser? Would you feel the need to try convert them too?
