This is something I think about a lot.

Pretty much everyone I know does something I don't like so ig I choose my friends based on whether I can vibe with the things we do have in common without the things we don't getting in the way too much rather than setting fixed principles as to who I should and shouldn't be friends with.

But being able to decide when the things I disagree with them on get in the way too much is something I'm still v much working on.

Gussano is a word used to dehumanize people to execute and throw dissenters into prisons. Calling people that a word made and used to justify authoritarian attroxities is fucked. That combined with how u were refuting propaganda about a brutal regime is sus AF.

Just say batista supporter. But instead u choose to use words used to dehumanize anti fedel dissent to allow the cuban government to brutalize innocent ppl. Gussano basically means vermin. Which is a fash thing to call someone.

But in terms of brutal regimes, Cuba's pretty low on the bar there and I'm going to defend them where defense is due.

Let us not erroneously subdivide the universal State into a hierarchy of more brutal and less brutal regimes. There is no such thing as so-called "Cuba" being so-called "low on the bar" of atrocity. You openly admit you'd "defend them where defense is due". In what case would an "anarchist" defend the State? That is not a choice made from the perspective of your own liberated self; that is a choice made from your personal position of power in relation to the State and its actors.

"Brown State no good, Red State more good" is nonsensical and utterly archic.

Ah I apologize for calling u red fash. It seems to me now that you only read lots of fashist propaganda uncritically so everything u say makes u sound like a red fash.

Isn't that the point of the Post-Left critique, though? I, too, had to unlearn that Leftism is not a natural position for persons with empathy -- it is a weaponization of empathy by ideology. The same spiritual force of ideology that can manipulate you into permanent conflict with "class enemies" via your empathy is the same force that draws others towards permanent conflict with "race enemies" via their antipathy. The entirety of the so-called "political spectrum" is the sum of ideological products created by a singular Capitalist project -- and just about no where on the Earth has been left untouched by the historical ravages of this civilizational mode. Leftism is merely one branch of this sum of totalizing, colonial ideas. Which is why I do sympathize with, for example, Latin American revolutionaries, because the struggle for liberation will always be true and universal, even though to me it is clear as day that Third Worldism is merely the State and capitalism in a left-wing disguise.

I have a personal "list" of things that are immediate dealbreakers for anybody. I won't share here unless somebody asks

I refuse to interact with capitalists, pro-police/anti-BLM people (this includes cops obviously), military personnel (unless they're the based kind).

I also don't bother with you if you cannot grasp that violence is amoral, and violent action against an overwhelming oppressive force is justified. Doesn't matter that you're liberal sensibilities about "compassion and understanding" make you feel morally superior. That compassion and understanding gets you nowhere once the state has you captured.

I also will drop you if you cannot/refuse to understand the labor theory of value, because that is the fundamental truth of the world we live in, and I won't be dragged down with others who cannot comprehend it.

For me a serious friendship takes a long time to develop, it involves a lot of trust, i have lots of acquaintances, lots of people who i like, lots of people I enjoy the company of, and even a handful I consider friends, but only a few I consider close friends. your closest friends end up being people who can influence you, who can affect the way you see the world, i find myself picking up habits and ways of talking from my closest friends, for better or worse.

I avoid discussing about said topics with that person. If they constantly keep brining the topics up I'll hint that it's getting annoying. I do respect other peoples opinion as long as they don't force it on me or others. This does not apply to the obvious stuff and extremes

You know... This dude I've been hanging out with said something about the pandemic and vaccines recently that really tested me. Said he got the vaccination, but that it was against his ethics. I pressed him on it and he mentioned animal testing, but it felt like he was grasping for a reason... I also asked him about wearing a mask in grocery stores and he said he felt it wasn't necessary.

Considering how you said you only recently stopped being a fascist that doesn't mean much.

Dropped out of college, worked full time, got sick of being a wage slave, read Marx and Kaczynski. More recently read Stirner and Serafinski. Still working on freeing my mind from the chains of fascism.

That doesn't make it any more believable honestly think you are here and keep coming back to stir shit up.

I mean I do enjoy stiring shit up but that’s not why I’m here. This is the only place I don’t get called ecofascist for suggesting infinite population growth is impossible on a finite planet.
