The 1950s housewife post today reminded me that the average Marxist enthusiast is living some kind of lie, many of them more than one. They culturally appropriate:
women
- No explanation necessary
WWII Allied soldiers
-
Lefties love talking about their grandparents or great-grandparents who fought on the beaches of Normandy. People like to imagine a scenario where Grandpa beats the troon out of his faggy descendant, but consider the reverse. These people would not enjoy a single second of the 1940s and indeed often talk about that time period like it was some kind of YA dystopia where women were permanent turkey production units - which they forget about instantly when it's time to own the cons.
-
edit: the most offensive part is that lefties assume that Allied soldiers were bloodthirsty for Nazis in the same way they enjoy talking about the deaths of today's "Nazis." This is a gross oversimplification, and to take satisfaction in young men dying on the front lines betrays a void in your soul. Likely they also gloat over civilian deaths in Dresden. I would say this is a consequence of being divorced from violence, except that some of them would line you up against a wall if they had the chance.
patriotism
- Many people mysteriously become lovers of America every time a Democrat steps into the Oval Office. Similarly, Obama talked a pretty good game about American exceptionality when he was an aspiring underdog. When pressed, they will be unable to define the virtues of America except in pathetically vague sloganeering and abstractions. Actually, just ask them what it means to be an American. Even a regular dummy Biden voter will likely fail to answer that question because citing the land, the people or freedom of religion are obviously no-gos, and the hustler rhetoric about "being able to do anything" is obviously empty on its own and conjures up IG influencers, their traditional immigrant parents, or Mitt Romney.
masculinity
- Someone in the other thread mentioned beards and lumbersexuality. There's also another highly prevalent type of posturing where a lefty believes that annoying or disturbing people to the point that they disengage from him makes him some kind of gladiator on the internet. Talking really fast, especially with some kind of feminine inflection, bragging about anti-masculine behavior like cuckoldry, or simply acting like a gigantic prick are all thought to accomplish the same effect. See: Destiny, Vaush. Unfortunately, the instant support from social media and the impossibility of any physical consequences make this financially profitable.
being a fully functioning person
- the lefty scapegoating of incels and neckbeards is another behavior that is only possible because of social media because it allows the average degenerate to pretend to have their life together merely because their pictures appear to be normal and they are literate at a 12th grade reading level, which indicates to boomers and other normies that they are just like us! only harmlessly geeky or whatever. Of course the lefty leaves out the poppers and gay sex, mental illness, catfighting, annihilation of family ties, rape, loneliness, parasocial activity, disorder, snobbery, luggage theft, cliqueing, furry smut, drug addiction, and other behaviors that would make them unpalatable to the larger population of high-functioning liberals that shower them with support and donations.
There are many more examples I could write about because almost all their normal traits are a LARP. Fronting and deception are common to every culture known to man, but leftism is a delusion that is only possible because the increase of free time and leisure income in industrialized societies allowed some people to construct byzantine mental artifices to explain their relative status and personal failings. In summary, California must be pushed out to sea.
Incels and neckbeards are overwhelmingly left wing
Define neckbeard.
Someone that plays Magic the Gathering and has anime waifu pillows in his 30s while also sporting a beard and is slightly overweight. And loves Marvel.
Neckbeard means geek.
Sounds like boogie2988 who is a liberal cuck for sure. Also like some of my friends though they definitely aren't lefty.
Only asked because I'm working from home and haven't shaved in a while. I hope my neckbeard doesn't start to affect my politics.
The term neckbeard was first invented to describe a certain type of person that existed ~20 years ago. At the time, realistically, the only guys with beards were literally that guy who played magic the gathering and wore a trenchcoat and baggy clothes to school. Hygiene habits were very questionable, overweight, likely smelled like BO. It basically meant geek and a lot of neckbeards were weaboos.
Then the hipster trend started with the plaid shirt and beard look and you started to see more bald and beard looks with guys taking steroids etc... The beard kind of made its way back into the mainstream. Neckbeard now doesn't really have the same meaning as an insult because 20 years ago the only guys with neckbeards were really that one type. You don't even really see true neckbeards as the original archetype much anymore. The evolution of the neckbeard is more like the soyboy. That bald + beard with the glasses and low T kind of look.
Actually a great example I just realized is this League of Legends streamer who is like 40 years old. SoloRenecktonOnly. If you search this guy and look at his old videos of him, he was a neckbeard... Overweight, had that neckbeard look to him down perfectly. Then the guy lost weight and now looks like the typical soyboy. He went through the evolution perfectly if you want to see how the archtype has evolved over the years.
Shave the cheeks, and you'll feel the desire to raise barns
Boogie's fat ass is who I think of when I hear neckbeard
That's a much broader group than you might think. Magic has been around for a very long time and has a ton of formats, with each having its own typical player. The guys who play Modern are very different from the guys who play EDH. It's hard to paint everyone with a single brush, when Magic is some 30 years old.
Good thing I stopped playing Magic a while back, never got into waifu pillows I don't love marvel and I'm trying to stay clean-shaven (though ATM failing).
Cause I am 30 and slightly overweight (I've dropped down to one meal a day but still way too fat)
I think I did well to dodge the neckbeard stereotype
It's funny. It isn't really magic, a beard, or being overweight. Those just happened to be characteristics a lot of them shared. It was basically pre-widespread social media dudes who were so angry, pathetic, and antisocial that they had to fight on forums. The neckbeard isn't so much a beard as it was dudes who couldn't really grow a beard and refused to shave the garbage under their chins. Being obese made it look worse. I think today's version is the Ethan Klein type dude who is a giant slice of shit but thinks if he "fights homophobia and racism" enough online he can make up for his own shortcomings.
Shit we're off to a bad start
Whew...
Fuck I thought I was in the clear
What if it's just when I've had a beer and want to watch a CGI spectacle? I mean is this some kind of gradient, or is it a point system, 2 out of 3 and you're fucked, how are we grading this? Can I offset points for regular exercise and actually doing genuinely productive shit?
There's a difference between watching a movie and being a consoomer.
For the sake of my sanity I am going to assume that the guy in the video was just acting.
No way he was actually genuinely reacting like this to a trailer?
The Soy levels are off the charts if he was really reacting genuinely.
On a deeper level the neckbeard isn't just appearance, it's also a certain attitude: someone who blunders from one consooomerist spectacle to the next and seems unable to relate to the world without the prism of fictional characters. He ends up makes normal people uneasy in some way in his presence, like a 40k pariah.
There are fat bearded people who aren't neckbeards (didn't say you were fat lol). I would encourage exercise and weight loss for everyone regardless though
The neckbeard physiognomy basically disappeared in the last decade, you don't see fedora-style fat guys anymore.
Democracy
Liberal Democracy is our temple. It is an unquestionable Good, and the most quintessential American value. It is how every human, no matter how poor or marginalized they are, gets a seat at the table and is given a voice on the future of their country. One person one vote is an inalienable right. Progress means expanding Democracy to all.
Also, we need to prevent the growing basket of deplorables from having any voice or influence in society. Racists, transphobes, and anti-vaxxers need to sit down and shut up. Voting for the wrong person is a threat to Our Democracy. We will protect and fortify Our Democracy by any means necessary.
Normal Americans have not historically hated their wartime foes in the same way that leftists hate their enemies. Morgenthau said American soldiers shouldn't oversee the
genocidereconstruction of Germany because they wouldn't tolerate theirbrutal starvationequitable distribution of food.You know the main villain in MIB? The giant cockroach inside a skinsuit, that's these leftists.
This isn't some dehumanising appeal this is an analogy for them, they are disgusting creatures that love nothing but strife, violence and pain on others to make them feel good. But either consciously or subconsciously, they know they can't get anywhere if they openly display themselves so need skinsuits to walk around with in public.
The right has their own version of those that would either rule in hell than serve in heaven or would make deals with devils for more luxury but it's rare you get the same level of open malice you get on the left.
I think that's a pretty degrading and inappropriate thing to say honestly, it's probably taking it too far. Cockroaches fulfill a pretty important role in the decomposition cycle in nature and we'd be up shit creek without them, even though invasive species are a problem in more urbanised areas. They really don't deserve to be insulted by getting compared to leftists like that.
True but it was more in reference to the movie villain than ACTUAL cockroaches.
Just swap the sugar water for money and you got modern leftists lol.
And then we have politicians on the right who, based on how they act, would prefer to serve in hell.
Seattle always had a grungy look to it. There have been honest moments where I was talking to a homeless guy and a millionaire and didn't notice.
Then we had the hipsters trying to fake grunge and it went downhill. Sort of like the sewers when Seattle sank.
The leftists you describe to me are people that have deficiencies in some way and rather than accept they are deficient and seek to improve themselves, they find other people with the same deficiency and seek to redefine what is good so that their deficiency is good rather than a deficiency because they are too lazy to put in the effort to improve. This goes for men and women and in fact is worse for the women than the men.
One of the biggest issues, besides overall laziness though, is lack of motivation. Women think to themselves, what's the point if they aren't going to get billionaire Chad. Average man isn't good enough for her. Men think to themselves, what's the point if they aren't going to get 10/10 adorable cute innocent pure submissive 2D girl in real life. Both are right but the biggest issue is that if both genders actually took the time to improve themselves for the other people then everyone's overall outcome would be better but no one wants to put in the collective effort first because it typically just leads to exploitation in the sense that just because you put in effort doesn't mean the other person will put in effort. This is why the idea of forcing other people to improve themselves isn't without merit. It's called discipline and disciplining people in the end might actually lead to a better outcome for all involved. The issue is that we don't discipline anyone in society and don't force people to do things. That leads to the outcome we have now. We expect people to choose to improve themselves but men are sitting there going why would they improve themselves if women don't improve themselves? And women are going why would they improve themselves if men don't improve themselves. Both groups would rather do nothing and hope to get what they want rather than put the effort in and still not get what they want.
The problem is what both groups truly want is something that requires OTHER people and no one has control of other people in society, only themselves. That's why, arguably, it's actually important that we do have control over others in society to force them to improve which ironically, would be in the best interests of everyone.
Most of these leftists are people who aren't getting what they want and are just following the easiest path in life because getting what they want is hard and in fact most of them will never get what they want so they find other outlets to try and fill the void but nothing they do will ever truly fill the void. Understanding and accepting what's going on is hard for most humans. Everyone would rather others change to fit themselves rather than realize everyone, including themselves, must change.
Society inside the panopticon has devolved into a mass prisoner's dilemna.
That's a good way to describe it.
I'd like to say that I don't know why this is so prevalent, but I hear SO MANY men on the phone these days and they all sound so femme it's crazy. But I'm certain it has to do with all the soy consumption.
We have some people like that even here.
