        Then it gives me inferiority/superiority complex vibes tbh.

        Like no one can psychoanalyze a person over the internet but that’s the impression I get from any kind of unironic “cringe” discourse, anything that looks down on people for sincerity or earnestness or buying-in or caring.

        I’m not trying to attack you, you already admitted it was a you problem, and this mindset is widespread across social media, maybe caused by it. I felt it in myself back when I used reddit too much. Maybe a result of our identities being alienated and commodified, forcing people in the west to adopt an ironic, detached non-identity. Fear of the critical gaze of social media, internalized then projected outwards as a defense mechanism.

        Idk, but it’s not conducive to healthy interpersonal interaction nor organizing. Movements and revolutions require radical sincerity, no one’s going to dedicate their life to anything based on nihilistic detachment. Historic revolutionary leaders weren’t irony poisoned and neither are the global subaltern. The latter can’t afford to be.

        If that’s not you I apologize, it’s just a vibe I notice a lot on reddit and Twitter (and hexbear) and have started to see in real life. Maybe a continuation of the south park nihilism that hit a generation of white guys. But if so it may be worth examining and deconstructing.

    very cringe post except for the bit about saying “comrade.” nobody talks that way irl, it’s such an obvious affectation. it’s the leftist equivalent of saying “folks” instead of “people”

    Yelling at a government building is kind of cringe ngl… but have you tried going to a bus stop or posting up outside a wal*mart and taking to people?

    I think protests are more performance and not effective at doing anything, unless they’re disruptive…

    I hope this is a joke, otherwise you are just a lib and I’m sure you’ve never even organized friends for your own birthday party much less any movement or campaign ever worth the effort.

    Nothing lost here.

    Whoah whoah whoah, people actually wanted the change they were advocating for? I thought this whole thing was just ironic! I’m as left as they come, and as a cis white male, I’m confident in saying that our society is largely free of prejudice, sure there’s bad apples, but there will always be bad apples, and changing the system will be even worse than keeping it as it is! So we should just stay the course and focus on incremental change, after all, if our ship is headed for an iceberg, the worst thing we could do is turn sharply away from it!
