  • Leftists online

    Engaging with some of these types you are referencing has always been hilarious. At least online, where I can just ignore them.

    I ran into dozens of these types in the everyday (classes, parties, dorm rooms) during university in the days before social media (not including USENET and BBSes). Now I seem to see them all the time, mostly online. Wayyyy back in the day, you’d see them on USENET and would quickly identify which were not really worth reading or talking to. Some even got fired up enough to run their own bulletin boards, LOL, so they could pull a BoingBoing style regime loooooong before BoingBoing’s BBS did their heel-turn into utter insanity, but it was just themselves and maybe about 5 regular users, so once you got a feel for what the BBS was about, you could nope out of their message boards and just look at what files they might have…

    These days they seem to come in clumps. I end up just blocking the ones that are overly obnoxious. What’s hilarious is that many are indeed quite smart, but seem to lack enough emotional intelligence to realize the spiral they are in and pull themselves out. It’s not quite a Dunning-Kruger, but similar.

    I only know a few of these types IRL (thank goodness) and they are draining AF. The only ones that are worse to deal with are the redcaps. They were weirdly happy about Donvict 1.0 and some of them seem to be even more excited about 2.0. They think they are right somehow about it all. It doesn’t matter what the outcome is, they seemingly delight in it and how they are “above it all” by voting Green Party or staying home.





  • What’s ironic is that you are right - in addition, the idea that one person or one country is the embodiment of all of Judaism is actually the real antisemitism.

    There is almost no other context where people pull this kind of nonsense, and if they do, they are usually marginalized as being half-wits. (For instance, dumbass conservatives may claim that criticizing American foreign policy is “anti-white” or “anti-xtian”, but most people, even other cons, tend to treat them like the idiots that they are)

    But for some reason, this line of argumentation when it comes to Israel has passed as valid for decades, at least in the Washington consensus.













  • Now it makes sense that these total dumbfucks wanted to take Ivermectin instead of actual proper measures for Covid if they all had (or have) brain worms. No idea if Ivermectin, a horse dewormer, works on getting rid of brain worms (doubtful) but that makes more sense than taking it for Covid when there was a goddamned vaccine available.

    I still have to laugh at all the conspiracy theory dipshits that were doing all this “well ACKTUALLY” shit about people making fun of them for taking horse dewormer. They were doing this strawman that people making fun of them didn’t think Ivermectin had legitimate uses that didn’t involve coronavirus and then declaring victory and yelling “checkmate, libtards!” at everyone that was laughing at them.
