I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying there. You’re also right about being kind can be more effective, but it has gotten really hard, they successfully wrecked my tolerance. Picture it:

1. I am chronically online because I am a Mexican who couldn’t go outside because of the insecurity, homicides, narcos. I’d hear gunshots near my house, and I live next to my city’s major residence, just to paint the picture of how bad it was in 2012-2014.

2. Your grand-grandfather escaped from Lebanon and Gaza, which are currently being invaded. Your small brother has Down Syndrome, he can’t talk, can’t clean himself, can choke on food, and then you see people online wishing people like him didn’t exist just because they make them uncomfortable.

3. Videogames, the Internet and school were my only human interactions. Parties and hanging out with your friends wasn’t as possible, it was a gamble for your life, one I still took with my cousin, a narcissist junior who’d treat me like a shadow, mock me for being overweight, humiliate me in front of his friend, but would still treat me like a brother in private, I took long to grow respect for myself; would go to sketchy places at 1AM, I didn’t care, but still, that was the vibe for a long time during my childhood and others’. It fucked many of us up.

4. The “Meta of life” seems to be: the more evil you are, the more rewards. It’s difficult not to lose your mind in a world like that, especially if you have seen nothing but death your whole life, uncensored, on TV, newspapers, and the 5x times amount of weirdos at school who’d come and show you an illegal video, a snuff film of a kid our age getting beheaded just to be edgy and say they can handle it. For every weirdo like that you had in your school, we had five because we were seeing fucked up shit on the news, at home, and in social medias too, people taking photos of recent shootings or events. Always graphic. I compared that to how America reports homicides, say a school shooting, and they were lucky they are more censored and prude, they’d blur things more. Ours didn’t give a fuck for years. For empathetic people is worse, we can “feel” the pain more vividly of the people in the videos. I even had to see my middle school Spanish teacher dead in her car next to her son whom I had personally talked to at school, both filled with bullet holes. Apparently her husband was involved in sketchy shit, she had botox in all her face, she was mean, but I still felt disgustingly bad seeing that ending for them, in a newspaper, uncensored.

5. Lost faith in my government. I think the US has a lot of influence over it, so I thought paying attention to US’ politics is more productive to us, even if I get belittled for trying to opine about it without living there. I used to admire the US, I would hate whoever they hated, but ever since the “grab them by the pussy” scandal in 2016, I have encountered nothing but hate, anger, insults, even while I was very kind, everyday, even in irrelevant places like an Overwatch or CoD match. If I speak in the mic, I attract a lot of racists because of my accent. I have my mic disconnected now, for everything I play, I don’t socialize anymore, I play solo. They started with the “snowflake” insult because we were being “too nice” and so on… It’s been a whole decade of disappointment and injustice after disappointment and injustice like that, and I can’t just tune out and ignore it, my country is on fire everywhere I go. “Politics” forced its way inside our home long ago, and dude’s still here, emptying our fridge. We can’t do anything about it, because violence is bad, we keep getting told. We have to curl into a ball and take it all in. No matter how hard we try the legal way, these wages and opportunities are going to kill us very slowly and silently, with a mediocre conformist life.

The bar increasingly amped up, it really sucks. It’s hard for me to not feel a lot of anger when I see even the slightest bit of red anymore, I really hate it, I used to be super chill, I had a YouTube channel where I made people laugh with goofy ass animations, my weird accent and nothing else. I still love being goofy, but fuck, I think they successfully depressed a lot of people with their doomscrolling algorithms and bots. I don’t see the endgame of that, I refuse to believe they want us to attack them, because that’s what it feels like: they are provoking us, laughing in our faces, especially with the Jeffrey files thing. I don’t get it. Are they pulling an Ozymandias from Watchmen or what? They aren’t that smart, or that benevolent. It has to be excessive narcissism, they don’t sound that different from an insecure childish narco who will happily blow your head off just for rubbing them off a little. Homelander, literally.

Even when I summarize, they will shit on the ideas and intent. I do still keep it short and kinder in other platforms, like YouTube. It’s only in Reddit and Lemmy where I write this long, I don’t know why, I always saw these online forums as that. 4chan (have never used it, but have seen posts), general forums from the 90s, etc. sometimes had sizeable walls of text.

All I’m gonna opine last is: I believe we should somehow convince people of reading more. That’s it. An educated society is what they fear the most. I will try and do better, get up again if I fail. I am betting on “humiliate people who believe might makes right,” which are most of the Alpha Male type of people, right-wings who think they are winning, but still can’t afford a family. There are plenty of those here in Lemmy, but yeah, they are rare. I am wasting these on people who don’t deserve this level of flak or anger, I will leave, I already said everything I could say in Lemmy anyway. To keep repeating it is just going to be pointless. I will try and rely on short one-line jokes again, these didn’t work.

There is a word limit in these boxes of text. That means the people behind this platform decided that there should be a maximum amount of characters that they consider the “maximum reasonable amount of text a human of this community might read in a post”. You are seeing that limit in my comment. It’s literally one single page of any book in a library.

As I told the other person; people on both sides are conditioning themselves to hate reading long texts. That’s very dangerous, and one big reason we are all in this shithole we yearn to get out of. We need to educate ourselves, but, it’s hard when people can create an insane lie in just a sentence, while you need walls of text to properly dismantle it. It’s hard to do it justice with that amount. I guess that’s why I never used Twitter in my life, the limit. I love reading people’s thoughts, no matter how long. Hate to see that social medias are truly weakening us, because this only benefits the elite, the rich who want us dumb, the Jeffrey Epstein class, and I don’t think I am exaggerating, we all know they want us dumb, so. This is what part of that looks like: People who hate to read more than 500 words in like 3 minutes or even less. I think it’s over. They won, man. GG. I will keep writing, but only because it feels good and liberating, that’s all there is to it. I will just have to ignore the repetitive comments. I’ve seen them since I was 12, lol, they just became way more brazen and common, it sucks.

Don’t worry, this is my last response then, read it all or not, up to you, I don’t wanna further bore you so:

MAGAs can create a lie in one sentence, but you need walls to do it justice when dismantling it. Both sides are conditioning themselves to not read long texts, so, yeah, gg. This will benefit MAGAs the most, hence the reason I call everyone who says these things a MAGA, to quickly shame them, because I truly see it as part of their culture. I have never said anything like that in my life, ever since I was 12, I love reading the thoughts of people. Yeah, we are all different, but, why publicly complain, though? Just don’t read the rest and that’s it. Why announce to people that you didn’t read the rest? What do you get from that other than look lazy and inspire others to be lazy too?

MAGAs are known for being anti-intellectual. Not saying that I say intellectual shit, I know I am crude and offensive, I can see you pulling an insult there, but, the mere action of reading, conditioning your brain to consume a lot, which is an important pillar for that; they don’t do that, and they are proud of it. Why sound like them? MAGAs are the ones who always abuse the “Too long didnt read lol” “take your meds, schizo, old man, grandpa” “i am not reading all of that, libtard” etc. They use the most banal and primitive responses possible. I hate to see people who were supposed to be the “smart side” sound very similar in that aspect too, you know? Treat reading like they treat the gym; as something only the strong can do, which is real anyway; you do need resilience to read long texts, or else you get a headache.

Using social medias as a reason is just heartbreaking. Just another reminder that they are truly weakening people. We need to educate ourselves more than ever. Class consciousness and all that. Teachers are quitting, they are not getting paid enough, they are being replaced with cheaper lazier ones who use AI to assign and grade everything. To keep this “reading sucks” attitude is just going to further shrink your dicks and hurt everyone in the long run. At least consume a lot of movies and TV shows, and I mean a lot, all of IMDB’s top 250 movies, shows, animations, even if it’s background noise in a secondary monitor. That’s at least a lot better than not reading at all if you find it that annoying.

Why? I just got called “Kash Patel” and it seems genuine. Am I missing something or why are you defending something so stupid? And who are you who found this comment I just posted 2 minutes ago, in a 15-day old post? The chances of you being in this post the moment this comment popped up is so low.

Dude, to call any of this CIA or whatever, that’s crazy. I despise the US right now. Nothing of what I said benefits the rich or Kash Patel’s career, what the fuck? I literally encouraged people to burn data centers down. This has to be a joke, come on

So, you are telling everyone that you are likely someone who cannot read a lot? Be it academic papers, articles, whatever. Boring or fun, you just can’t. Call my style bad, or opinions bad, whatever, the point is you cannot read long texts. You imply “walls of text wander you down.” Dude, don’t you see how bad that looks? Why should anyone listen to you if you are likely someone who does not read, can’t finish a book, etc.? It’s such a MAGA thing to do.

It’s crazy that I have to write less than 50 words to have an ounce of attention from people now. I am a writer, I write books, I can see literacy is truly dead. “Reddit” literally means “Read it”, so, what the fuck? (Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, so) Why do people use apps that are made for reading, and then complain about a long read? It looks so ignorant.

Why would people listen or trust someone who probably can’t finish a book? Let alone a few paragraphs in an app made for reading, literally. I don’t get it. It’s such a MAGA thing to do.

Punishing billionaires will never be one.

And fawning over a billionaire who wanted to make even more money is not?

Since when do we feel sympathy for billionaires like Jack Ma? Why are people angry that the CCP did the right thing? America should had done the same with Elon Musk when he did the Sieg Heil in national TV, because he not only embarrassed the entire country, he put absolutely every single American in danger now, because foreign people like me now want to see the USA be removed from the global map because they pretty much screamed to the world that they are ok with a literal Nazi having that much power and influence over you. They should have kidnapped him and “reeducated” him, but no, instead, Elon is now reeducating millions of young men through Twitter. Turning them into violent toxic bigots. He is guiding them toward their graves; and here you are, still talking shit about China the same way Trump or Lindsey Graham or most MAGA politicians do. What the fuck? At least China is not being ran by a pedophile, and they don’t have anything remotely close to a cult like MAGA. I haven’t had a single negative interaction with the Chinese people I have replied to online; they are as polite as the Japanese, but a lot less xenophobic and elitist. With Japanese people or South Koreans, once they find out I am a Mexican, some of them start treating me like I am inferior, for some reason, they say things only an American hog would. Same with South Koreans, they have some Western influence on them, and it sucks. Most of the negative interactions I have had with Chinese is always over technical/academic stuff, like being bad in a videogame, or getting a line of code wrong, they are more harsh there, but rarely racism or identity attacks.

Jack Ma wasn’t even reeducated, he was just forced into silence because he challenged the CCP by pretty much saying “your banks are clueless, your regulators are old men, and my technology is the future” during that Shanghai Finance Summit, whatever it was. I remember Jack Ma sharing some weird ideas with Elon Musk years ago, I won’t say they are the same, but imagine if Elon Musk did something like that, implying he should become the head of the future. You’d want that? Wouldn’t you wish your government stopped him too? Or what? Do you trust Elon Musk? Do you love him? Do you think he’s sexy every time he speaks like a shy kid who just shat his pants?

It’s so weird that that’s the only thing leftists and republicans agree with with the same passion: Hating China. It used to be Russia too, but it only took a few weeks to change that. Don’t you find that weird?

I wonder how will Americans ever deal with the increasing amount of racists and MAGAs that are breeding in their country without ever resorting to authoritative policies that will make them look worse than China. I want to believe a strong reason China is the way it is is because of the Opioid Crisis caused by the UK and India, and the genocide caused by Japan around 1930. The way people fawn over Japan but hate China makes that propagandized bias more obvious. And I have my own criticisms about China, I wouldn’t want to live there, I still prefer Mexico, but god damn, when compared to the USA, I prefer China. Your marvel movies, TV shows and videogames like Fallout always depicted the Chinese and Russians as absolute evils, as malicious, always spying or planning something big in their heads to destroy you for the sake of it, for fun or money or power, I don’t know, but that shit is still ingrained in you.

Btw, “just move to X country” shall never be a reply, ever. Everyone should know by now that, thanks to capitalism and the Jeffrey Epstein Class, about 80% of the entire world cannot afford to do something like that. It’s always the cheapest and most ridiculous answer I see online, to avoid facing the fact that some governments are objectively better, less evil than others, even if they all suck.

100%, it just reminded me how a lot of right-wing people did get mad that a new protagonist will be a brown woman when the first trailer came out, and also a dude who thought the “Petty Forever” sticker in the last frame was a jab at LGBTQ communities, but it’s actually the name of the soundtrack’s singer they used, lol

They are so god damn stupid. If you ever hear someone say they miss old videogames because they weren’t political or “woke” or “feminine,” just go look at any top 10 sellers of the early 2000s or 90s, they are mostly Pokemon, the sims, final fantasy, nintendo games, etc. It’s so easy to mock them if they think sports games, cars and war games are manly; just call them gay for enjoying playing with men, sweaty men bouncing balls and touching each other. Collecting cars is like collecting handbags and shoes. They don’t fantasize about being Master Chief, they fantasize about having sex with him, with muscular strong men they always glaze, because they are in the closet. They used to call Nintendo games for “babies” and “women,” so, if the script flipped there, flip it back, who cares, lol. Whenever they complain about a protagonist being a woman, ask them if they prefer to stare at male ass or what.

When they attack women of color, like Lucia from GTA6 or Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 (I once argued with a moron in YouTube that said it was impossible for her to be black because her grandpa, Odin Anderson, was white; that them, the devs, casting a black woman “ruined immersion” because of that. Dude was trying to justify the blatant obvious racism I pointed out, and he just made it worse, he never stopped doubling down). They cannot tolerate Abby from TLOU, they glaze Joel who was a mass murder and a massive piece of shit too, as it was revealed in the level “Pittsburgh” of the first game, here’s the wiki’s summary: “Over the years, the pair (Tommy and Joel) survived by descending into a sinister way of life. Joel deceived and killed innocent people, becoming a hunter. He adopted tactics such as tricking passersby into thinking he was hurt so he could ambush them when they let their guard down.” The game is simply trying to show you how complex people are, but these guys just can’t see it at all, like, they don’t have to like Abby or hate Joel, no, but at least understand what is trying to be told. They make it sound as if the devs were malicious and just killed Joel for “no good reason” or because “woke.” Joel Miller and all the Texans or young men who feel like they are a Joel Miller can go kiss my hairy ass. He is no different from any of my local Mexican narcos or mafiosos, man, they are all family people, they are all very charismatic in private with their friends and family, including their own “Ellies”, daughters, sons… Does that mean I should glaze them? Fuck no. What the fuck?

They glaze Walter White who killed millions of innocent people with drugs, while they hate Skylar for reacting with disgust to THAT. Like, come on. If Walter was so smart, he would had made the money doing something legit, chemistry-related, or work with Elliot, whatever his name was, swallow his ego, but he was a narcissistic moron, and so are all these dudes who also glaze the American Psycho protagonist and shit like that. Their ego is the most insecure and fragile one, the more I keep seeing small things like these, the whole Stellar Blade movement where they submitted their real identities (some did it jokingly, but a lot were dead serious), the more you realize how dumb they really are, and not just in videogames/media literacy, but everything.

That’d be cool, if people started astroturfing the word so hard: hats with “WOKE” and a really cool eye logo, mysterious-looking, or even the Illuminati one, to confuse people. Spam memes and posts that associate the word with cool random shit that don’t have to make sense.

Call GTA 6 woke, or whatever game MAGA loves woke, and do it convincingly there, it pisses them harder. Creative jokes that are subtly aware of the absurdity of how that word is used. Whenever they call you woke, or mention the “woke virus” just counter it with goofy shit, be proud of it, say dumbass embarrassing cringe shit on purpose, that the woke disease enlarges your dick and gets you laid with babes, you cannot stop drowning in pussy since you got it, unlike incel MAGAs who still have to watch people like Andrew Tate and cucks like Sneako because they are secretly gay. Republicans keep tanking Grindr for a reason. Be hypocrite, play dirty, do not give a fuck, be impossible to offend, and be incredibly offensive at the same time, even if you “betray” some of your beliefs/convictions, like sounding homophobic. You are not one, but you are doing it to be like a “mirror” to them for fun, say shit they cannot escape from like economic realities, I have mentioned so many in my comments already. These are the things that drive them mad, and it’s super IMPORTANT that you leave them with blue balls too, do not feed them too much, use 2 or 3 replies, let them know you got bored of them or that you only take people who made more money than your religious nutjob average baby boomer made seriously, not broke bastards like them who keep crying about RAM prices, AAA videogames rising their price by 10 or 20 mere bucks, housing or healthcare costs… Mostly focus on shit they care about, which is usually videogames and getting laid. Attack that shit while blaming the system, so they are forced to look up.

You know who you are, you are doing it to shut them the fuck up for good, and for that you have to be more cynical than them, act it up, smile harder than they do; it isn’t hard if you really hate them like I do. Don’t let it consume you either, take breaks, do it only if it makes you laugh, not stress or piss you off further, turn your anger into something funny, while bullying them. They are literal pedophile apologists, Jeffrey Epstein Class supporters, cocksuckers with 6 teeth who applaud Nazis with 6 yatches, like Elon Musk. I was just a teenager and I became anti-MAGA hard when the “grab them by the pussy” scandal happened; I am a Mexican living in Mexico, that shit made me hate MAGA with a passion, and to see so many of them still around over a decade later, like, fuck that shit, bro, they know what they are doing, they know who they are too, and they are racist disgusting pieces of shit that only stagnate Humanity. I despise that they are expanding globally, there are Mexicans who glaze MAGA here; lots of Europeans who watch Asmongold, seeing Venezuelans applaud Trump for what he did to Maduro, even if he sucks, I know that, is blatantly obvious what is happening, it’s so sad, but god damn it, someone has to first slap them really hard with offensive shit, and then they can potentially become more susceptible to adopting our ideas, because the fence-sitters will realize that being MAGA actually fucking sucks. They need to feel pain to reach that point, though, we all did reach ours by seeing constant injustice, constant pain being laid upon the innocent, that shit is painful. Thing is, being born with a degree of psychopathy or any of the Dark Traits is not as uncommon as people made it seem for decades, it’s not very rare, I actually think absolutely everyone has some of each, from 0 to 100, same with autism; I don’t think absolute 0s or 100s are that common, we are all in-between, and it can be swayed, influenced, so, we have to be aware of that imo, it can help a lot, to analyze things from an outside perspective, less emotional, more rational, more fair to human nature, it’s a mess. My brother has down syndrome, and it’s so easy to make him do anything you tell him to do. To imagine that, a lot of people also have a different level of malleability, including myself, I have fallen for so, so many hoaxes online, and still do, but, once you filter everything through “everyone deserves to live. Human nature is our biggest obstacle. Humanism, wanting to see people in their full potential, is an exciting prospect” and more ideas like those, the easier it gets to spot the bullshit.

That’s what they deserve, that’s the language they speak: might and humiliation, trust me. AIs might tell you that we have to be nicer and shit, avoid violence, focus on voting, the law, jailing, educating people while being nice, but never forget who programmed those shits. Truth is, some people do need to get spanked to learn. You know how to measure that, you can be nice when teaching things to people that are genuinely curious or lost, but the MAGAs I am talking about, which is now the grand majority, are far beyond redemption already. They are openly proud Jeffrey Epstein Class supporters and pedophile apologists, genocidial, disgusting in every fucking sense. Never. Forget. That.
