these types of people feel like they’re flailing wildly for an identity

it’s all just college students trying to fit in with cliques, right? some people become goth in college, some get into baseball, some weirdos do whatever this is. “I’m in the neoliberal club” yeah ok

Its normal for young people to generate some random ideology not really linked to their actual conditions in any way. It’s usually not very serious or backed that strongly but instead draping in aesthetic.

The true radicalisation comes after screaming in the staff room after a few years of working realising this is it forever. Or me hiding in the toilets at my office until the lights turn off and i just continue sitting there.

yeah sometimes I actually want to sympathize with younger people who do this. They’re adopting wacky ideologies and making it their entire personality because they don’t have need for politics yet. It’s a fun game for them

Yeah, when I was a kid, I was always left sympathetic, but a total lib. Nothing brought me further to where I am today than getting a job with a large company and experiencing the dissonance of the CEO rolling out the red carpet for himself to tout the amazing year we had before calling an all-hands meeting to say that there wasn’t money in the budget for raises.

Also, the design of social media engagement rewards bombastic behavior and “maxing” anything to stand out from everyone else. You can’t just be Bob, a guy who tacitly supports the neoliberal global order. You have to be Slazac the NATO loving kawai catboi nyan uwuuu~<3

That really puts into perspective a person I know who changes religion and political ideology every 2 years. Always updating their social media space to reflect the changes. It’s a way of standing out

NATO leftist strikes again. And he has a Taiwan flag. Dude can go fuck himself for that. The homophobic Ukrainians would probably murder his ass but keep simping for them.

There’s a certain curiosity to watching liberals’ understanding of China retreat to the frontiers.

They’ve given up on “Free Tibet”. The Uighurs are falling down the memory hole. Now Taiwan is the extent of liberals’ understanding of Chinese socio-economics. Gotta wonder how long before they’re demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.

People seem to have forgotten about the Hong Kong riots roughly 15 minutes after the NED money dried up and the consent manufacturers had to be transferred elsewhere.

Honestly I still don’t know what those protests were even about? Were they even about democracy? Cus I recall their demands did nothing that would have changed the fact that Hong Kong is basically 5 banks in a trench coat.

Stroke rates in Japan spike as all Kanji is replaced by hiragana.

As a Discord moderator for Destiny, Vaush would often post about how much he likes male horse genitals.

Volt has always been and will always be a recuperative op to make radlibs even more non-threatening. They’re basically the Greens minus the environmentalism and with even more neolib bs. I’ve always wondered who falls for that shit, Volt is entirely irrelevant even at the joke elections for the EU parliament where everybody just picks whoever they believe to be the the funniest party on the ballot, but in hindsight i could’ve guessed that the Venn diagram between these losers and the European V*ush fandom is a perfect circle.

Volt aren’t radlibs, they’re regular libs of the common kind.

They’re a party tailor-made to the average student liberal, meaning of course that they’d get like 20% of the vote if there was no tactical voting nonsense going on.

This kind of people used to be even more common in the past, but I suppose the kind of person to watch Vaush in Europe is also the kind of person to care more about the US Presidential election than any local news.
