I get called a lot of names on reddit, it only empowers me and tells me I'm doing something right. This site is filled with the most hand-wringing, roleplaying, sheltered, naive segment of performative leftists and literal children out of all the content aggregation forums I have accounts on.
I agree, and they get so mad when a leftist actually does something to try and improve the world
They also hate being told that good outcomes are still possible with work, effort and... the most dreaded, scaaary word of all, socialization. This is one of those tumblr-spheres of kids who think their asocial depressive episodes are an identity and it has gotten me in more than a few scuffles. They sure don't seem to have problems confronting strangers when their comfort-patterns are on the line.
Ha, I just recently wrote a blog post about the fact that communicating effectively with your vote is a skill, you might like it
Good post. You won points by being both self-described anarchist AND realistic about what's really happening in the world.
I always say that about my belief in a borderless world or a world where socialism is the peak-goal for any system so that every person has equal opportunity. I know they're pure fantasy in the world we live in now, but I still hold those things up as values, this helps me communicate consistently about what I want for the world, even if it means achieving only small parts at a time. That's fine, just so long as I am part of that message that says "I want this better world."
I may be practical, scientific, and overcome neither by pessimism nor optimism, but I would not describe Myself as realistic. In fact, I oppose realism, which I use to mean the belief that the world has an objective nature we should seek to understand. I believe the world is subjective in nature, and that we should manipulate this subjectivity to the benefit of all thinking beings.
We should sell pharmaceutical grade placebos at the chemist shops. We should employ traditional and radical magical healing alongside material healing. We should believe in the gods and myths of all religions. We should perceive trans and otherkin people as they wish to be perceived, rather than putting the burden on them to present as they wish to be seen. We should have a subjective multiverse with free travel between subjective worldviews. A home for everyone, no matter how strange.
