The average TrueAnon listener is a social democrat, maybe democratic socialist

Don't blow it up by assuming she's a freak commie like us, sus it out slowly first

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago

Start with a 32 minute rant about how Stalin was right and the history we’ve received was written “ex” information warfare officers who “switched” to being historians after WW2 and if she walks away you dodged a bullet.

Tbh most Westerners who use the communist label are also socdems

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tbf most socdems that use the socdem label are liberals

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

suggesting some amount of social democrats are not liberals

momo-hah

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Those are fascists so-far

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Friendly reminder that the average TrueAnon listener is a social democrat

This isn't the impression I get from their subreddit

alternate pov: be as up front about your freaky politics as possible if you're trying to find a serious partner. you want someone who is at least okay with where you're at if not on the exact same page. i have a marx quote high up in my bio on hinge, better to get it outta the way early.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

I agree, but there's a difference between getting it out of the way early on rather than ruining a fun casual date with complex depressing political talk

Invite her to see shen yun

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ask what her upper limit on locations is, and if it's okay if you bring a helicopter.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And whether she'd be into dating a sewer guy

Edit: Or a mole person

Say "Oh you're a Qanon fan too?"

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

This will either bomb hilariously or be genuinely really funny and well received. There is zero in-between.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love all the anons. Qanon, Trueanon, Frantzfanon

one of the things that these last few decades has taught me is that ostracized people are usually able to vibe with other ostracized people even though they have diametrically opposite world views.

i suppose that's one of the reasons why lemmy is now seeing an influx of social conservatives, in addition to helping amp up the liberal vs leftist culture war on lemmy.

Holy shit i haven't been single in so long but this still hit me right in the gut. Keep strong

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Dropping the bit for a bit. I'm actually contemplating packing it in for romance. I'm in my 30s and really haven't a relationship that lasted much more than 6 months. I think I'm just kind of annoying dude to be in a relationship with (a good chunk of my relationships have ended after I went on vacation with my partners 😂). I think the oncoming political situation is just gonna make dating for a (mostly) hetro guy even worse and frankly I'm getting more and more comfortable being single anyway. I like sex, but whatever, I'll get a fleshlight I guess.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I will say that i met my current wife at the point where i was going to give up and be single

TrueAnon tip: don't talk about TrueAnon on dates.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Make sure to wear your "bush did 911" t-shirt to your first date

Does anybody have a clip or know the episode where brace does Obama voice and says

"Gotta have them liz, and brace too!"

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've finally gotten my wife listening to it enough to start making the 'it was a Jewish doctor' jokes. It's everything I had hoped it would be.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it's funny how that happened 2 years ago but liz only started using it on the podcast some months ago

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

The Kanye deep dive spectacular shook a few screws loose from both of them in the best possible way.

ask her if she's looking forward to the Racial Jake vs Brother Love 2028 election

[–] Zorothamya@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

Is TrueAnon worth listening to? I tried listening to one episode of it, but wasn't really impressed. (and also kind of didn't get the topic of the discussion)

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Depends on the ep, and if you're interested in getting some information on a topic you might be interested in with a whole lot of silliness intermixed. But like with anything else, if their sense of humor isn't your thing, it's not gonna click.

I recommend picking an episode that seems to talk about something you think might be interesting and go from there, just go in expecting a fair bit of goofiness and not a hard-facts-only-no-jokes citations-needed style joint. The Musk episodes were good for exposing exactly what kinds of cons he gets up to, and I intend to go back and listen to them for a refresher since he's somehow still viewed favorably by... people...
