No Hexbear isn’t brigading you I’m clicking on the main page of the website and replying to whatever I see. I don’t even know what website I’m on, I have ADHD, I aint got the kind of focus. Anyway I’m going to go brigade a thread about video games with my pro-FFXIV propaganda.

    Not trying to be an anarchist.

    So you’re even more ideologically adrift and going on “I am very tough” vibes to impress internet strangers.

    I don’t like using any political labels.

    Claiming to be “nonpolitical” is tacit support of the status quo, which is taking a political position without the courage to own up to it. If you want to seem tough and impress internet strangers, work on that.

      But I wasn’t doing any of that. That’s how you’re perceiving me. I don’t understand why you think I’m trying to impress people, I’m just trying to warn people about mistakes I’ve made in my own life. It’s strange also because this is the same shit maga people do to me. I don’t understand the enticement of ideology. I guess I’m kind of nihilistic that way… Kinda like I just stopped trying those methods? Idk…

      (I understand the paradox of not understanding ideology being an ideology…)

        You were, whether or not admitted it, or were even aware of it.

        That’s how you’re perceiving me.

        Yes, because what you presented is what I have to go with.

        I don’t understand why you think I’m trying to impress people

        Because what you presented so far was a cascade of trying to impress people.

        I’m just trying to warn people about mistakes I’ve made in my own life.

        “Mistakes” presented in a “Today I Fucked Up” Reddit humblebrag format.

        It’s strange also because this is the same shit maga people do to me.

        I don’t understand the enticement of ideology.

        Willfully ignoring your own ideology doesn’t mean you’re free of it. It means you are more susceptible to it.

        I guess I’m kind of nihilistic that way

        Which is also an ideology.

        At this point I doubt you actually do.
