Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I heard we're doing leftist infighting just in time for the election again, oh joy!
62·21 days agoWell you see trying to stop a genocide or convince a candidate to come out against it incurs a risk that we might lose an election to a fascist. Luckily since the people who cared are an inconsequential number of non-voting leftists, we can be assured our refusal to take political action or even remotely try to hear out Palestinian voices will guarantee the election. Better to be safe and not try, because that way things can’t get drastically worse right? Right.

It’s not about being rude it’s about not being nice
The first words are ‘I’m always a little mean’ so I think rude counts. I understand the motivation for doing this, but this is a strategy that the more it is applied the less it works. The core issue is men taking small deviations from their expected social treatment as flirting, and I think that moving the expectation lower by being meaner means that it will take less ‘nice’ to accidentally communicate interest, thereby making it worse in the end.
Conversely if you are this triggered by a neutral response to a shitpost maybe switch to a social media that just doesn’t allow replies?
I can’t fathom being so sensitive and so chronically online that you need to post a genuine Response to a fucking jokey post about girls needing to be a little mean to make creepy dudes go away.
Oh no, I’ve replied to a meme in a non-hostile way without downvoting it and boosted its platform visibility. How dare I?
If you ever wonder, “Why am I single? Why won’t someone date me?” It’s because you say stupid shit like this. You’re not a victim, dude, so stop acting like one.
Engaged, but appreciate the concern for my dating life.
This is a pattern that if applied broadly feels guaranteed to spiral into the opposite of the desired outcome.
-
Be rude as a rule to men
-
Men interpret what was once ‘rude’ as normal behavior
-
Stepping positively outside the new normal gets interpreted as possible sexual interest
-
Now you are required to be even ruder baseline to avoid misinterpretation, and men just get treated worse socially.

Horse is trying to break out of his frame there
We make our dog sit at the door and wait for a command to exit, so that they don’t run out unexpectedly. Normally they’re raring to go and sprint out the second we say the word, but the past few days they’re just as likely to turn around and run back to the couch instead of stepping outside


Yes, the mountain dew sort of bubbles through the beer. You get a distinct citrusy flavor and an added sweetness
