    I usually post here on hexbear to get away from hellworld stuff. Was at a party last night and the opinions of these libs were just godawful. Like, it is a bad idea to put the Ukraine war into context, we should just say “Putin bad” and never try to understand why this happened. Putin evil movie villain going to take over the world. And also people were freaking out about Trump. Not because of the actual horrible stuff he was doing, but because he makes America look weak and therefore evil China is going to come and conquer Australia because America won’t protect us. Shit is just so fucked. These people are all what pass for “leftists” in this godforsaken country as well. Every time I talk to other people about anything political it’s like a switch is flipped in their brains and they turn into thought-terminating-cliche spouting robots.

    So that’s why I spend time here. I like being in a place where a statement like “China is the most evil warmonger in the world” is rightfully mocked and shown for the racist western chauvinism that it is.

      Was at a party last night and the opinions of these libs were just godawful.

      For libs I’m going to say stuff like…

      The rioting in LA is shocking. I knew LA cops were racist but they are totally out of control.

      The gotcha joke will save time. Online anyway. In real life - I’d want to seem sincere and sound serious. But I don’t think I could keep a straight face. I think when I got to “I knew…” I’d already be smiling.

      I saw the usage of “rioting police” in a Bluesky comment just a few minutes ago.
