And I totally disagree with that narrative.
Because in my experience I listened, but then was guilty of the crime of pre-rape. And then i stopped listening to feminists. Being male and doing anything male-coded was a crime to them.
then 10 years later… many of those very same feminists are now preaching 1950s subordination to their husband and God and many are of them anti-trans advocates. Every feminist I went to grad school with became everything she claimed to hate in her 20s.

FWIW my entire life i’ve known people who do this shit IRL. MY college campus was rife with people like this.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 16 hours ago:
yep.
i will write out three paragraphs… get multiple replies about like three words I said that are taken totally out of context.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 16 hours ago:
ever IRL hobby/group i ever did went from a cool chill group to being full of rabid assholes once it got ‘popular’. as in… people heard it was ‘cool’ and wanted to join because they want to be ‘cool’. as soon as people are doing something for status/image and not because they actually enjoy/love it… that’s when the toxicity starts. because the cool people are the insecure shallow types who need to crap on anyone who is ‘uncool’.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 16 hours ago:
yeah i’ve noticed this. the people who harass me go to my comment history, start downvoting everything i say or replying to old comments and/or reporting them… just like people do on reddit.
one disagreement on one comment or issue becomes a personal vendetta

I have been threatened and harassed in person multiple times the past few years. but left and right wingers. by trans and anti-trans folks, etc.
angry people just want to beat up any one that is in front of them.
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 1 day ago:
yeah, metaphorically punching them in the face.
people like this tend to only respond well visceral reality right in front of their faces. just think of how addicts have to ‘bottom’ before they seek recovery… it’s basically the same issue. they have to visible see the horrible negative consequences of what they are doing to themselves.
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 1 day ago:
anecdotally all my mentally ill or social inferior friends/partners over the years… have all become full blow misinformation/delusional conspiracy theory types of people. and are no longer my friends.
their desperation in my reading is that they simple refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and rectify their behaviors… so it must be some vast conspiracy that causes them to overspending, make poor lifestyle choices, and be unable to keep a job…
and to them anyone who is mildly put together is some privledged jerk with zero empathy for them and their ‘totally unique’ situation…

Amen.
Honestly, IRL or online, once that ‘my leftism is the only good leftism’ shit starts, I leave the community. I have no time for bigots and bullies in my life. No matter the flavor of their politics.

History shows us people only learn to do the right thing after things have gone horrible horrible wrong.
we had a worldwide depression and war that uttered in 80 years of peace. we will have another one before things can truly improve. the current generations are all far too removed from the consequences of their actions.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 3 days ago:
most upper middle class professionals I have met in my life do not have lives other than work. they take their 2-3 weeks off on expensive international vacations, but have no hobbies and their social life is just drinks with co-workers.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 3 days ago:
I dress for the weather.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 3 days ago:
Forget commmercials. Most people I know/met lately seem to think anyone who isn’t working 60-80 hour weeks is a ‘loser’.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
Our species broadly is far more concerned with narratives and stories than reality. This is how our brains work on a very fundamental level.
Yep. Thanks for mentioning this. It’s really the root of it. The existing social structure is reinforcing/escalating our worst psychological biases. The opposite of what many of us think it should be doing. AT least for me… going to school was all about deprogramming all the emotional bias bullshit that my parents and home-town idiots I grew up wtih believed. The internet also helped a lot with that.
But it seem around 10 years ago this all shifted. and now education and internet is all about reinforcing those biases.
I’m not so sure good policy is the way to do it… but I do know from political experience that good policy is something EVERYONE hates.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
it’s not lead poisoning. it’s people going insane because they live in internet/social media bubbles that lead to constant escalation reinforcement.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
people would rather die in a flood of their own bullshit live in an inconvenient reality.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
Nah, plenty of younger folks think this way.

I have been paying attention for decades now and I’m not really surprised.
I went to an ivy league school… and lots and lots of my cohort were delusional morons who believed their own farts had magical powers.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
both.
being crazy is not a political affiliation. there are crazy people on both sides doing crazy shit to ‘own’ the other side.
in 2009 I knew a radfem in grad school who would go around screaming at everyone to stop raping people. she was a very damaged person who projecting her abusive past onto everyone around her. and going to grad school writing papers about using artificial wombs to end women’s oppression by men. she also was married to a guy who was a drug user and physically abusive to her…
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
It’s a legit thing though. I live in Boston. There are people here you meet occasionally who literally… talk about nothing about how awful Trump is and are totally obsessed with him to the point of alienating everyone around them.
It’s sort of like how Howard Stern used to get better ratings from people who hated him more than those that loved him. Some folks entire identity is now hating Trump.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 3 days ago:
People are so wrapped up in their political ideologue they are literally cutting off their noses and doing other deranged things all to ‘own’ the other side.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 1 week ago:
I don’t know. My entire life people have more or less told me the truth is stupid and worthless. Pretty sure were never were a truth society. It’s just that now we have given up the pretense and pretext that it even exists and have decided bullshit is what really makes us happy.

anyone with 1/4 of a brain knows this.
but the vast majority of the population, including our leadership, are mostly brainless hype drunk monkeys.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 week ago:
yep pretty much. left/progressives have no coherent narrative. just a bunch of sub-groups all trying to co-opt the narrative and bickering over whose group is the most important. and the right just picks the most absurd group an blasts the rest of the left as being part of that group.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 3 weeks ago:
Not really.
You have realize COVID basically screwed ps5 for 2-3 years. The system is 5 years old, but effectively was only available since '23.
