Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it’s more passing and related to hormones.

Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don’t have to drive as much was a big help.

I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don’t, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don’t always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren’t.

I don’t spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

I do smoke a lot of weed, but it’s because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.

I post things in English because the audience here speaks that.

The thing with your source is that 98% of state communist in the region are Russian sympathizers and as such legitimate targets in war conditions. They will be oppressed for siding with enemy

your response did illustrate my point well though

it doesn’t prove anything, I was making a joke that in the US a guy running for Senate had straight up Nazi tattoo on him, the problem isn’t limited to Eastern Europe.

in fact it seems like the nazism problem in Ukraine is more of a civil society problem, as in rather than getting state crackdowns on speech, if you say the wrong thing you might get a group of patriots showing up at your door to teach you a lesson.

here’s a video from a ukrainian communist in kharkiv explaining the issue, translated by a ukrainian from mariupol

fwiw, in the US we have a guy running for senate as a Democrat who had a totenkopf on his chest, in the same style as those used by neonazi ukrainian groups such as misanthropic division

it’s so on the nose it’s probably fabricated, but I still find it amusing

Nutonic did say that! if he ever comments on a comm I moderate I’ll ban him too.

The sh.itjust.works admin said something similar as well, not a fan.

I think you’re taking about pugjesus from .world

you can’t fight here! this is the war room!

hey if you’re right then maybe someday I’ll get to meet a libertarian that isn’t a fashy asshole!

I’ll be sure and let you know if it ever happens

just stating my experience with them as I’ve known many over the years, the ones who are actually earnest stop being ancaps/libertarians

my experience with US libertarians is that they’re all like that just under the surface

Yes, Nazi ideology needs to be annealed, expunged, eliminated from the world in the same way that, say, chattel slavery (laregly) has been.

what does annealed mean in this usage? I don’t get the metaphor you’re going for because the literal reading to me says you’re saying that it must tempered/softened. I don’t think that’s an appropriate response to Nazis, it’s a very soft connotation.

Grow up

making fun of libertarians really struck a nerve huh

I mean I’m trans and there’s plenty of other trans people on the instances you’re demagoguing about so maybe take a step back if you’re a cis

I am not a fan of initiating violence either generally, but I still think it’s a funny copypasta because racist nerd gets bullied in it, who knows if it’s even true.

it’s good that you’re having fun but I don’t think you made yourself any more clear to me

but I’m also arguing with an .ml tankie

I’m actually an anarchist tyvm

I’ll just argue or cut comtact.

You were the one who said that you would cut contact or argue; If you’re going to get so bent out of shape about one person on one instance it raises the question why you’re not so outspoken about other instances you use where people express the same opinions.

Me, I’ve been plenty outspoken about Nutomic, I’ve said that if he ever posts on a comm I mod I’ll ban him myself.

personally I prefer marxist/anarchist spaces, not a fan of liberals or conservatives

you post on sh.itjust.works despite the admin there being transphobic, maybe you should self-isolate from there too.

because I’m not a piece of shit.

subjective assessment

They’re not arguing for racism and capitalism to continue though but you can do what you like and I’ll continue to laugh at the copypasta

are you cis?

counterpoint: ancaps suck and I don’t care about people being mean to them
