How do reactionaries stay happy while consuming hate-slop 24/7? (hexbear.net)

Seriously, I found my sister (who's nearly 30) watching a silly video about "feminists doing men's work", basically just a hate compilation of tiktoks and a chud yelling at the camera about evil leftists and stuff like that.

How the fuck do you stay happy watching this slop? It's just constant hateful bullshit, I'm surprised we don't see more terrorism from this stuff being consumed by millions of people everyday.

For me, the worst typical chuddery are "(LGBTQIA+) are mentally ill" posts from extremely well adjusted and very normal people that post (CW: suicide references, bullying)

spoiler

unprompted statistics about suicide and then state their desire to watch such people die over and over again because they are concerned.

Cowardly nazi fucks should drop the concern trolling, but if they did, they might also stop being nazis and be something very slightly less horrible instead.

A guy I know, nicest guy generally, but boy, don't get him talking about white male suicide rates. Known him for 20+ years, but over time he's become more and more reactionary. He's a smart guy, could easily be a leftist since our views usually align, but he's so entrenched in his world view that it would take an act of god to get him out of it.

I don't know what you call it. Sunk Cost Fallacy? To even begin to admit hes wrong would mean his been wrong about so many other things. I think that's what keeps them in this cage.

I think that's exactly what it is. It's the "STILL LOVE THE TRUCKKK" of political ideology.

Like you said, the suicide one makes me so mad, because they simultaneously concern troll over trans suicide, then celebrate said suicides, make jokes about it etc.

Fuck these sick freaks.
