There's nothing concrete really, I was just being hyperbolic about it. More and more often the vasoconstriction manifests in this dull ache in my kidneys that has been scaring the shit out of me.

Damn, that's really cool, I'm actually in a similar situation. Found out some months back that my landlord uses Hexbear when I saw him pull up the site on his phone while I was requesting that he fix the broken heater and leaky roof in my apartment. I brought it up and instantly he seemed just as happy as I was to have randomly come across a Hexbear comrade in the wild. What are the odds, right? Anyway, turns out he's an ML! Now we hang out, watch Star Trek, and shoot the shit about theory over weed and beer on the weekends.

A couple weeks ago I was talking to my landlord about how hard it is to find leftist friends, and he got the idea to introduce me to a buddy of his, the one who actually introduced him to Hexbear in the first place. Turns out he's the police officer who usually handles the evictions here. I'd seen him around, but I had no idea he was actually cool. Dude's an anarchist and heavily involved with his union, really based. We invited him to get baked and hang out with us and we really hit it off. It's nice having an anarchist perspective for our theory talk, really fitting given we all use the same left unity website. Not gonna lie, it does get heated at times, and I'm still a bit apprehensive about him showing up to these hangouts in uniform with his service weapon, but I think that's just me being antsy.

Hope you can get something similar going with your boss. Hexbear is great and all, but there's no substitute to having good comrades to hang out with offline.

IDF is doing that thing from video games where enemies inexplicably cluster around randomly placed bright red barrels full of nondescript explosives

I just wouldn't trust anybody like that. He needs to open that button before I'll consider voting for him

I can sometimes feel a bit sorry when a young, politically clueless person sees us talking about the evil that whiteness is and starts thinking "damn, my skin is kinda whitish, why they hate me :(", but also, that's not being the target of racism. One of the few cases where the typically right wing retort to grow a thicker skin is the actual solution, that and stop associating your light skin tone with the inherently racist conception of "the white race". But I find that once someone goes beyond that to being insulted by the word cracker, it's no longer such an innocent reaction.

I'm sorry, I don't think I was attempting to "build a politics" of any sort. I was just shooting the shit about which lib politician would be directing self described American leftists toward electoralism next, like u/zed_proclaimer said

Ah yes, love to go swimming in the public pool built in the middle of a fucking walmart parking lot

I feel so upset that I totally missed Jan 6th while it was happening. Chapo.chat was having a massive struggle session at the time, so I decided to log off for a while. Bad decision considering I avoid all other news sources for my own sanity. I returned days later, totally clueless about what was perhaps the funniest event in American history, worst case of retroactive FOMO in my life

It was a big moment of radicalization for me when I first became aware that the US was actually the worst side in the revolutionary war, a very great feat of evil considering their enemy was the fucking British Empire.

HELL YEA

Tap water is the best water when it's properly clean. Vastly superior to that flavorless crap in plastic bottles
