Does nobody care about the health of themselves and others? Even communists? We're all just giving in to the liberal notion that getting COVID is inevitable and that you don't need to take any measures anymore? I hate everything.

hot take but people who are annoying are still people
removed due to CoC violations, as per mod request
"To be honest, I don’t know if other poc share this view, but I find the continuous stream of self-deprecating jokes about white people and calls for violence on white people tedious and somewhat uncomfortable. Maybe that’s some internalised bs I have to deal with, but it has a flavour of edginess to it, and feels like a lot of white people here like to post it because it shows just how cool and self hating they are, saying things that would be considered abhorrent by mainstream society. But as a woc who has been tone policed her whole life, it doesn’t feel liberating to constantly read 'unlimited genocide on kkkrackers', because to me it turns the idea of resistance against white norms and cultural supremacy into a joke, an in-group affect, and in doing so releases the user from any obligation to actually dismantle that cultural supremacy. In other words, it’s virtue-signalling. […] I came here because I wanted to learn more about leftism, talk with other lefties in a not-totally-Americentric forum and maybe find out about organisations and efforts to contribute to. And to hexbear’s credit, I have managed to do a lot of those things. But lately […] it’s felt like a club of people who share a performative leftist/west-hating affect. That’s not to say a group can’t have in-jokes of course, but when those replace the initial purpose and usefulness of the space then it just becomes a parody of itself."

famously americans are the only ones who ever exhibit annoying behaviors like playing music out loud on the bus/train.
as you may have noticed, I specifically said "and yankophiles," meaning people with a yankoid mentality.
edit: removed aspect in CoC violation
again, you shouldn't just dehumanize people because you've projected americanism onto all annoying or antisocial behaviors. I mean fine, it feels good to rant on the internet, you do you, but I think it sucks.
Dehumanizing rhetoric like this goes against the spirit of the site rules against discrimination, so I'd appreciate if you would edit or remove the three comments in this thread. Otherwise I'll have to issue your first warning per the new CoC.
As someone living in the burger reich I get your frustration, and I've definitely fallen into misanthropic moods at times myself, but if we dismiss the vast majority of people as non-human, we're no better than our opponents.
i am not american and americans are (fortunately) not the global majority. though i suppose ive been too harsh and should obviously refrain from being hyperbolic like that.
edit: crashout removed again
Yeah that was some unclear phrasing on my part, my bad. The majority I was referring to was people not taking COVID precautions, which I believe is the majority globally at this point (though I'd love to be wrong). If you live in an area where people are still taking it seriously, I'm envious lol.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Fuck off with that shit tbh
