I thought I knew cool people, is the problem. Especially in queer circles it's not uncommon to hear people say "eat the rich death to the bourgeoisie" or "capitalism is a death cult the empire is rotting" or similar variations. I figured that reading the Manifesto and absorbing a bunch of stuff through here would give me common ground with these people, but they're always shocked and confused whenever you try to talk about anything seriously, like the DPRK maybe not being a "personality cult" cringe

So the only cool person I have is my wife (thank fuck) and all other social ventures have failed dramatically for this and other (autism) reasons. Exhausting indeed...

There is a huge leap from “america isn’t perfect but it’s an overall force for good in the world” to “america sucks” to “maybe AES are the good guys.” I have a friend who has made the leap to “america sucks” but he thinks socialism = concentration camps for everyone, China bad, etc. We haven’t had a serious conversation in a year or two now.
