@lethargilistic What you said is anti-surrealist because surrealism isn't nonsense, it is striking a careful balance between and playing with our understanding of what is sense and nonsense, and it is a difficult thing to do well.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Sunday, 17-Mar-2024 10:25:27 JST Wherz Demloots @arrrg Discouraging voting, or displaying attitudes against voting, is 'trying to make the dems lose'. Of course this conversation is far bigger than just you or I, but it's composed of people just like you or I.
But it seems overwhelmingly clear that you don't understand that there won't be another election if the dems lose this one. I had your attitude in 2016 when we could afford to lose because of the Dems' hubris. The Dems didn't learn their lesson from losing to Trump the first time. Don't like genocide? Well you should not like the trans and ukrainian genocides that will happen if the Dems don't win.

Those for whom the result isn't life and death are privileged. It was death for millions the last time Trump won.

If the concern over Biden's age has to do with competent leaders, then Kamala ain't a competent leader either. But okay a sack of potatoes is preferable to a fascist in that seat.

Also yeah the above guy correctly clocked you as bad faith.
For any spectators, Wikipedia: "The manosphere is a diverse collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism" + "The manosphere overlaps with the far-right and alt-right communities. It has also been associated with online harassment and has been implicated in radicalizing men into misogynist beliefs and the glorification of violence against women."

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Saturday, 16-Mar-2024 00:20:53 JST Wherz Demloots @Robert_R_Freitag_II @ldpm @gwensnyder The term manosphere exists to describe a group on the internet. People can have opinions (especially based on demonstrable fact) on that group, like thinking they're misogynistic and others can be offended in response to that opinion, what the fuck is the problem?

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Saturday, 16-Mar-2024 00:09:01 JST Wherz Demloots @Robert_R_Freitag_II @ldpm @gwensnyder The article didn't invent the term manosphere, the name is in the public zeitgeist, and when you say it people understand what you're referring to. It just happens to also be absolutely replete with misogyny and far-right radicalization, not definitionally, mind you, but practically it is so full of it that it is only controversial to call it misogynistic if you're trying to sweep the misogyny under the rug.

Enjoy your immense privilege for the outcome to not be life and death for you. Also never pretend to be against genocide again if you think there's no point to preventing a second and third genocide on top of the current one. -

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2024 21:08:32 JST Wherz Demloots @Loukas I seriously don't understand this reply guy concept, what people think about it, or what the issue is. What is the point of social media if not to reply to people? Doesn't talking politics naturally invite replies? Is it just annoyance? Is it offensive? I don't get it.

Dumb libs.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Sunday, 03-Mar-2024 09:31:57 JST Wherz Demloots @KawaTora Because the majority of people don't vote, so non-voters are already getting what they want, which is an unforgivably high chance for a Trump victory.
You should be thankful to be privileged enough for that to not be a matter of life and death for you, because it was for many the first time he won, and it will be worse the second time around, and the palestinians will be genocided one way or the other, which is horrifying, but with Trump the Ukrainians and trans and gay people will also be genocided. So yeah enjoy your privileges while they last, they'll find a reason to come after you as well, and don't go quoting any 'first they came for the communists' poems once it's all over.

You are literally falling for the same trap the Israelis are by essentializing the other group as all guilty, even if Israel's fascism problem runs wide and deep.I agree with 80% of the rest of this though.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Friday, 01-Mar-2024 20:48:16 JST Wherz Demloots @erma If you can't take one look at his youtube channel and realize he's doing nothing but licking Putin's taint ever since that viral video at the start of the war, you are extremely unfit to recognize propaganda and need to go back to basics instead of attempting to debate people. Also, Realism is discredited in IR circles as a serious framework and serves only as a good starting point for understanding how people think about the subject, before moving on to far better modes of analysis. Mearsheimer is behaving more like Russell Brand than an academic since the invasion and it's ridiculous.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Feb-2024 02:11:47 JST Wherz Demloots @Anarchtopus Mid 20s here. No, it is objectively true that the internet has been severely compromised and deprecated, including basic services like google search and google images. I was taught in school how to do advanced searches like '-query' to exclude search results but that seems to no longer work, or at least any time I've tried to use it in the last two years it didn't. I am increasingly needing to go to the second page of google to find the wikipedia article for things where the first is all shit for sale. Finding information on stuff like caring for pets or home care or medical matters is now impossible to get off google because all the search results I find are obviously untrustworthy AI garbage (eg. "To get rid of Silverfish in your home is very easy! What you have to do is remove things they like, and what they like is Moisture" like yeah bro I don't care if you're probably correct I'm not getting my info from shit obviously written by a bot).
I can no longer type in 'x fanart' and find tons of images of interesting fanart I instead get loads of garbage results like samples and blurry cut up banners found from some romanian gaming article or something and I have to go to specific sites like boorus to get a comparable density of relevant stuff.
When I open social media that I don't normally use like twitter or youtube shorts I'm immediately bombarded by far right, incel, nazi, pro-russia, pro-israel horseshit. It's depressing.
