My friend made me install Bumble. I want something that leftists will recognize but that won't immediately scare off liberals (I can fix them)

Does anyone have any cool Lenin quotes for this purpose or something

sure thing just put this in your bio:

"The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry"

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't wait to match with the leftist love of my life only for our accounts to get terminated before exchanging phone numbers because we're inciting violence against landowners

smh my head, this is why we need open source dating apps

(but like if we could get everyone on dating apps to use one that unironically would be infinitely better than the shit we have now)

I would match you immediately.

if anyone has this in their bio, I'm sliding straight into their DMs with "death to landlords, wanna grab coffee?"

That's my man :picard-pointing:

I did this once and shortly thereafter had the hottest date of my life with a dope commie

"hey leftists can you gimme something subtle"

"lead off with denouncing US propaganda against the soviet union, yknow, to test the waters"

[–] Washburn@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you don't shout "Joseph Stalin saved the world from fascism and the reactionaries who formed the Nazi Arming & Training Organization will never forgive him for that!" at everyone you're attracted to you are basically a liberal ngl

[–] jack@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A more genuine answer might be the Debs soul in prison quote. It's a really clear statement of values without being frighteningly radical.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

That's actually a pretty good suggestion

A yellow Parenti filter on the pfp should work too

"I hate writing bios on dating apps, I'm always Stalin for time"

"My favorite Christmas tune is Engels Bells"

"Seeking soulmate to form vanguard party with"

"Not swiping on my profile is a twelfth form of liberalism"

"Looking to make a Great Leap Forward in my dating life"

[–] mittens@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So corny they would've been advised for use by the Kruschev admin

"Looking for a fellow traveler"

It's kind of an older phrase though

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wouldn't recognize that one as a leftist dogwhistle, I think

"looking for a maoist fellow traveler"

[–] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

at least where i live, like two thirds or more of dating profiles included some reference to travelling or travel buddy

[–] ElGosso@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

I would assume this means you're a gay guy in like 1945

[–] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 2 years ago

I think any sort of play on "workers of the world unite!" Or even a conspicuously placed use of the word "union" would trigger my leftist alarm.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can fix them

bold words, Cotton

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

this is a terrible suggestion

[–] honeynut@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago

my dating bio is just the Maoist cult pizza slave story

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Texting my matches like "Hey bby Imma make you feel like the women of East Germany before reunification ;)))"

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I used to have surprisingly good responses on tinder by starting the discussion with "what's your opinion on Palestine?"

Most didn't have one but almost everyone responded and gave a good indication of their values with it (this obviously depends strongly on your area)

"Women hold up half the sky" would probably fly under the radar for most libs, and if they recognize it, they are most likely going to be annoying

[–] DoubleShot@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

I think you’re overthinking this. Literally just say “I’m a communist”, that’s gonna weed out pretty much everyone you wouldn’t want to get with anyway.

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

dont date liberals its bad for your soul. it will burn you from the inside./hj

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

also if you put communist or anarchist in your bio liberals will want to date you much much more.

Mine just says queer anticapitalist poly. Folks get the hint. The worst I ever get with that is Warren libs but they can be fixed.

"No bigots"

[–] FemboyStalin@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

I met my wife by just putting that I was a communist in my bio. She had that she liked to read communist political books. You could just outright say it but that might be dangerous depending on who you're meeting up with.

[–] Freeanotherday@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I did a bit about adding "inspiring eco terrorist" to my dating profile a while back.

Obviously it was a bit... and parody.. a joke.

“I only sleep with communists. I will test you”

More of a foghorn i suppose

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

"Stalin didn't go far enough"
