it's funny because the only kind of person who would make this loves reddit and likely has a computer touching college degree

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's true. I was once a child who loved life and had a sense of wonder, then I went to college and became a seething redditor that hates the world.

heartbreaking

Honestly reddit-logo is the distilled energy of the college-educated soy liberal.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I still don't get why people on this site keep calling things "soy" when the term has such a troublesome background rooted in all sorts of right-wing tropes. I wish people would just stop.

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

Yeah, the "soy" thing originally came about from a misguided belief that soy has a high amount of estrogen, and that eating too much of it can feminize men. It's an insult with sexist and transphobic origins.

Co-opting chud insults and turning them back on them is good, but "soy" isn't it.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Transphobic and sexist and also anti-vegan and anti-Asian, since the term is also tied to the belief that caring about animal welfare is a sign of weakness, and the belief that lactose tolerance is somehow a sign of racial superiority, plus the old vintage racist belief that East Asians' diets "feminize" them; and following from these beliefs, the belief that soy products are a good old "Oriental conspiracy" pushed by "the globalist elite" to destroy Glourious Western Manhood.

I'm old enough to remember when quiche was considered "unmanly". Like it's literally eggs and sometimes breakfast meat in a pie crust lmao.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Wait I thought quiche was that little green haired alien elf dude from that cartoon about the magical cat girl?

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

Huge agree. It sounds goofy, and it's inexorably tied to just so much bigotry too.

There's no reason to co-opt it, and attempts at doing so would be a betrayal of leftist values.

the wojaks and use of "normies" isn't fantastic either tbh

[–] Ivysaur@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I’ve been using normie since way before the problematic people online were

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

And while we're at it, references to "glowing" — the original quote that inspired that term literally has a hard R in it, yet people apparently do not know or do not care about the context or how the term spread.

Soy is the nazi bean, also when I tried soymilk as a kid I detested it cuz gross, but I gave it a second chance today and bought the Ades Natural Flavor and it was 99% vainillin and sugar. It had so much vainillin it had that bitter taste of pure vainillin. So I know it's not related but I wanted to share how much I hate Ades in all its forms

Oat milk rules

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean by "nazi bean"?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

That's an interesting little tidbit, but do you really think this is the reference people are making when they call things "soy"?

[–] KatGirl@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

That's what happened to me, I used to be a tree, and now I'm a communist conveyer belt

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

Like all right wing slop correct on accident.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most people I know who have gone to argie public universities have come out of the experience significantly cooler and class-conscious, even if some of them are still insufferable redditors.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Self-report. Milei has like... this many degrees:

Licentiate in Economics, Universidad de Belgrano, Argentina; two Master's in Economics, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and CEDES/IDES.

And still manages to be a dumbass. At least he's doing his best to prove his point.

Edit: apparently a licentiate degree is equivalent to a masters degree? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licentiate_(degree) so milei basically has 3 masters degrees lol

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

TWO Masters??? Lmao dude just likes wasting time

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

Sounds like short cycle masters, like the ones you can get while working in less than a year. Not a full-on research masters.

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

he is truly the apex redditor

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

2 masters in economics and tanked a nation's economy because his talking dog said so 😭

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago
