And I use "normal" in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the "weirdest" people I've met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you'd peg as "normal"? Well I've had my fair share of shit with them. I'm not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

Truth nuke: a normie hearing a leftist say "proletariat" or "dialectics" causes the same feelings and emotions as a leftist hearing a normie say "Gryffindor" or "muggles."

That's optimistic. I suspect a normie hearing "proletariat" won't even know what it means enough to be put-off by it. It'll just be incomprehensible jargon, like hearing techies talk about computer parts.

Dead on, the last time I really cut loose I got hit with the friend-visitor-3 look, and after a quick explanation I got in turn hit with hocus pocus talk about vibrations and frequencies and ascending to a new dimension to heal the world with me going huh
