Ancaps: Government is bad because tyranny, we should get rid of it.

Also Ancaps: Here’s how we can still enforce copyright, abortion bans, and racial segregation without a government! 🥰

This is more wholesome than I was expecting.

Sounds like something an addict would say.

“Yeah, this is pretty spot-on, actually, I don’t- IS THAT A FUCKING COP?!”

You tankies sure are paranoid.

I have no specific interest in you. I grabbed the meme from a thread full of tankies that were butt-mad about being misidentified as anarchists. A few weeks later I’m here on 196, and remembered to follow the rule. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mocking how bad the political compass test is

i disagree with being called a tankie since this was my political compass result

Sir/Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.

We live in a society UwU

C’mon now. You may find BartsBigBugBag annoying, and “critical support” is kind of sus, but they’re not anywhere near hexbear’s level:

• There’s been no assertions here that anyone should end up “against the wall”.
• From what I’ve seen BBBB tends to argue mostly alone against a larger audience. Hexbears intentionally show up en masse to overwhelm their opposition.
• BBBB’s arguments appear to be genuine. At the very least, they’re not flooding the thread with annoying image macros and pictures of pig shit.

You’re perhaps not wrong about the choice of community, especially after the hexbear fiasco. OP isn’t an ML though, they’re an anarchist.

A big problem i see liberals having when trying to change the minds of both leftists and conservatives, is an inability to even consider any aspect of another’s perspective, and a belief in one’s own perceptions as objective reality. In doing so, they will argue against their perception of others beliefs, rather than actually discussing and finding what those beliefs are, or where those beliefs come from.

I’ve noticed this a lot, but mainly on the internet, especially with people that I have either a more distant social connection with or none whatsoever. It’s especially visible when talking about guns, since that’s a subject where the average conservative is significantly more well-informed than the average liberal (I say this as a leftist, not a conservative). The liberals that engage in these arguments seem to be fully convinced that they are in fact more informed, even though they tend to have an active aversion to guns, rather than an interest that would motivate them to learn more.

In-person results are better. There’s a level of politeness that comes with interacting face to face, plus some level of mutual respect and trust that comes with social connections. I’ve managed to significantly shift the opinions of a number of my friends on the subject. I could be in a bit of a left libertarian-leaning bubble, though. The current cultural climate is probably also significant. The threat of an active fascist movement in the US is a pretty decent motivator. A very large portion of liberal internet commentators seem to be unmoved, though.

POST BEF

Nah, that’s not how it went down. Cats are such weirdos because they domesticated themselves instead of being domesticated by humans, and because they’re descended from a small species of wild cat that was both a predator species and a prey species.

Dogs and other domestic animals we molded to suit our purposes, but cats just kind of… showed up. The only selection pressure on them was “tolerate humans just enough to get at the rats in the humans’ granaries”. If anything, they domesticated us. Their meowing behavior is an attempt to mimic the cries of human babies.

Sympathy lost for this attention seeker.

She was an attention seeker back on reddit

So you never had any sympathy to begin with, because aTtEnShUn SeEkEr, which is the lamest cop-out ever. Just say you hate women and get it over with.

Sounds like you’re just proving her point.

Jeff?

Definitely not relatable. Please post the source so that I can read more about this person that is certainly not me.

It’s joke

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
