Holy shit, lemmitor's annoying liberal self righteousness is off the charts
Holy shit, lemmitor's annoying liberal self righteousness is off the charts
I step out of Hexbear and into another instance for once and immediately get this shit lmao
I was letting off some steam about how sick and tired I am about working a shit job to make some asshole rich, and I made an off hand remark about how my employer probably belongs in a gulag. Further down the reply chain, this lemmitor asshole shows up to send me a whole tirade full of faux concern, breaking out the psychoanalysis to say I'm just an extremist full of unjustified hatred because I must be a bitter loser. Somehow they come up with this nuclear hot take comparing my anger at the capitalist class to a Christian fundamentalist hating gay people.
But the fucking cherry on the top here is sending me this comment as their very first interaction with me and proceeding to instantly block me to deny me the chance to reply at all. I've seen others use the block feature as a means of getting the last word in, but never to get both the first and last word in at the same time. And in the end, this self-unaware lib ends up calling me the overly self righteous one. Perfect.
Tbh, what gets me is that they were so fucking close to getting it. They almost came to an accurate understanding of the fact that my material conditions as a poor person getting fucked over day in and day out by my employer stealing my labor will heavily inform my politics. But of course they never quite reach that point, instead bizarrely veering off into psychologizing me, and acting like this is all just some sort of character flaw on my part.

You're viewing a single thread.
Obviously I got issues with Christian fundamentalists, but the argument that their ideology is what is because “they’ve got nothing going on in their life” is the most “I’m 14 and this is deep” bit of sociology.
That being said, the “you’re American in spirit” line is a bit cringe. Just call them a lib or Western chauvinist, but that phrasing just comes across as clinging to a point that was disproven.
Yeah in the context of the rest of the thread that line made more sense. What happened was they (not the person in the screenshot, it was another user) originally called me edgy and compared me to a 4channer for saying my boss belongs in a gulag. The word edgy is necessarily a comparison, right? Something can't be edgy in a vacuum, it's a word that implies judgement against some sort of normal baseline.
So I brought up how no one is ever called edgy for saying someone belongs in an American prison. I didn't actually initially accuse them of being American, for some reason they thought not being American would somehow refute my point. When they got defensive about that, I poked fun at them by saying they're acting like an American anyway

Lmao that pearl-clutching weirdo has never been on 4chan for more than 2 minutes.
I think it's fine. These fuckers behave exactly like American liberals and then use "I'm not even American" as some kind of "gotcha" but it's just showing off how pathetic they are that they worship at the altar of American "civility" despite not even being from the country.
