Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • Depends on the site, but since they’re all swipe swipe swipe tinder clones now I’d have to guess they were quick swiping people they found attractive. The algorithm happened to show you to them since you reached out, but they either weren’t in the mood to actually engage in that moment or they found some other reason to not move forward after matching.


  • Antifa has been branded by the GOP as a group that does not follow a specific ideology purely focused on fascism, they’ve been marked as a “dangerous, violent, leftist (important point) group.”

    The politicians are using the antifa boogyman as a political tool and the MAGA supporters are just opposing a group they see as “leftist terrorists.” In their eyes it has nothing to do with any kind of “legitimate” resistance to fascism so they’ll outright reject the notion that being against Antifa means your for fascism.

    They’ve been conditioned to absolutely loath anyone on the left with the most pure burning hatred, so in using the qualifier “leftist” in their description they invoke the thought terminating process, leftist means you hate them without thought, and antifa is now a label you can put on anyone you want to persecute. The “base” may have been conditioned to despise “the left,” but I think we’re still at the point where the right can’t simply say “we’re arresting them because they’re Democrats that are protesting our actions” so they need this “dangerous terrorist group” to exist as the enemy.



  • People who don’t like math usually learn and reproduce the subject by memorizing formulas and using them as tools to solve problems where as people who enjoy mathematics typically seek to understand why those formulas work and often rederive them.

    Literally why I hate math. There was no explanation in highschool, it was just here’s a formula bv+yq-72(7ph+u/65) use it when you see pineapples.

    …how the fuck am I supposed to just remember that? I need to understand how something works or my brain simply will not retain it. The response I always got was “proofs are too complex, you’ll learn that in college.” …ok but that doesn’t help my D+ ass now and just made me think I’m terrible at math, completely avoiding anything science related even though I loved pretty much most fields of science.

    It’s the natural evolution of unchecked right wing power and greed in a capitalist system, it’s pretty much as far right as you can go. Get the “right” person in power, the right propaganda systems in place, the “right” economic hardships in place and you can easily manipulate enough people to let you become a dictator and even want you to become dictator.

    Trick them with excessive nationalistic theater and they believe they’re being “patriots” defending their country from the big bad enemy you’ve made of your political opposition. You cannot allow that opposition to ever regain power that could threaten you so you literally crush them and the machinery that allows them to grasp at power.

    It’s pretty much all about power and greed with a disgusting dash of sadism.
