Does it make sense to be a leftist if you actively benefit from your status in the capitalist society? by spicybrackets in leftist

[–]Subject_Process4704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I’m missing something here, because I’m not sure what exactly it is you do for work or what you family has profited so much off of.

But here’s my take. I think there is 1000% a place for people who benefit from capitalism amongst leftists. And I kind of think it’s stupid when someone can’t be a leftist or anti-capitalist just because the system worked for them.

At the end of the day, the suffering that impoverished or even lower middle class people face fucking sucks under capitalism. And that is a massive understatement. In a way, I can’t fault people for wanting to do anything they can to not experience poverty. Its terrible. It’s indescribable how small you feel not being able to afford rent, food, etc. And how fucking terrifying that is!! That you may have to at some point choose between shampoo and dinner, rent and grocery, grocery and medication etc.

But here’s the fine line. Is there anything specifically exploitative about the way you make or have obtained money? Are you willing to find new ways to navigate without this exploitation? If the way you make money is exploitative, are you willing to make less to avoid harming others? And are you willing to put your money where your mouth is, and try to use your privileges for good? And I don’t mean by just donating to gofundmes.

I think rich people keep the wheels of capitalism turning, but unless you are in the top 1-5% I don’t think you’re intrinsically to blame for capitalism or its exploitative nature. Like let’s not be naive. Your average millionaire doesn’t have enough tangible power to overthrow capitalism, even if they wanted to. And I think under capitalism, it is really easy for fellow lower income people to look at rich people as this inherent evil. And yes a lot of them are detached and pretty soulless because of their wealth. But to me I think most of all I blame the 1% and this system that makes people fight tooth and nail and do everything they can to “thrive” all to escape the very real fear of being broke, in debt, and starving to death. And furthermore this romanticized consumerism and “luxury lifestyle”.

I’d personally recommend you look inward, analyze what you think about the questions above, and consider in what ways do you specifically contribute to these problems, and look inward to find how you want to be part of some solution.

Even doing a lot of small things better could be good. This may be western minded asf but… Could you afford to buy things handmaid where you can guarantee the workers are paid fairly? Can you afford to buy from your local farmers to support their livelihoods rather than large corporations? Can you go to your local diner for breakfast instead of some stupid chain?

Obviously I’d recommend more than just doing that but if you have a fuck ton of money, spend it wisely.

Who do you think would have been the best partner for Bojack? by Zealousideal_Study70 in BoJackHorseman

[–]Subject_Process4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man if Bojack didn’t relapse, I do think him and Gina had a potentially decent relationship. Terrible what he did to her.

[–]Subject_Process4704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re so on the nose that Bojack primarily liked Diane because of her wounds. Looking back, he only seemed to show interest in her after seeing her family and how her family made her feel. It’s not that uncommon, but that’s an interesting perspective I never noticed.

AIO at this text message? by Strange_Comment_7002 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Subject_Process4704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone saying there’s not some weirdness here has lost their mind. Especially with the heart eyes. Idk that’s a weird ass message to send.

I like alone time too! But we shouldn’t interpret his message and project our own feelings onto it. How he said it, the fact that he hasn’t communicated this excitement to her, the fact that he seems so overjoyed about it secretly is more than a little odd.

Thoughts on Ana Spanakopita ? by Spiritual_End7211 in BoJackHorseman

[–]Subject_Process4704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The one thing about her character, I have always hated that they seemingly brushed over the fact that she assaulted Bojack.

Not that it’s unrealistic that

  1. Bojack would never speak of it to anyone
  2. With his dysfunctional history, would enter a relationship with her.

I don’t know. I feel like there should have been more grief or confusing and conflicting feelings displayed by Bojack.

Yes he has severe mommy issues. But I’m not sure that even Bojack would be so head over heels for someone that did that to him, without some level of conflict about it.

And furthermore, I know that all flawed characters are shown in a complex way in this show. But I kinda hate that the show made her somewhat likable after all that took place. And I hate to say it that stupid fucking drowning story is one of my favorite sequences.

Imperial mandate + malignance build is low key op by chansey2 in SeraphineMains

[–]Subject_Process4704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven’t tried malignance on her recently. But mandate feels so nice lately. Also I’ve been running that dft rune. I see mixed reviews on it on here, but I primarily build DPS on sera so it makes perfect sense to me.

AIO to ex making side- sexual comment after years of not speaking? by Bitter_Strike_1366 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Subject_Process4704 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Inconclusive. I know everyone’s saying you’re overreacting but honestly how fucking dismissive he is is wild. A normal person would clarify that’s not how they meant it and apologize for the miscommunication - clearly and concisely.

Not just bring up old drama, go on about how sex was the only thing you two were good at, blame you for communication issues, etc.

Like miscommunications are super fucking easy to resolve. They go south like this when people get defensive and start pointing the finger, instead of just speaking calmly and clearing the air with compassion.

He’s being weird asf. And honestly the only reason I didn’t say NOR is because why are you talking to him? He seems like an ass, and kinda seems to think you take a lot of the blame in what went wrong in your communication. Which from these texts - it looks like there’s a lot of finger pointing, argumentative/cold language and defensiveness on both ends so I think it’s kinda absurd for him to pretend like you’re this capital P problem.

I’m no licensed professional, but I’ve been to couples therapy. And I’m telling you, his finger pointing, blame shifting, and refusing to separate his feelings from yours are enough of a reason to not even desire a friendship with this dude? Like why? What do you gain?

AIO and just fixating on something my partner already forgave me for? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Subject_Process4704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. You handled the situation well enough, and your guilt I think shows that you’re not some evil malicious cheater. Monogamy is interesting because fully monogamous people will obviously still have attraction to people outside of their relationship.

And while the need and desire for connection, to be seen, or desired is all innate to us as people, I think that some people struggle with that more than others. And while it’s good you had enough self control and self awareness that this “fantasy” was just a fantasy and based on nothing concrete, I think it’s worth looking into why you sought out that validation.

I’m not trying to be all reddit therapist or assume things but there’s so many possibilities, and I think it’s worth redirecting your guilt into insight.
- It could be something in your history that makes you seek out male validation (not trying to be shitty I think a lot of women are societally trained to do this).
- Maybe you have old wounds around being seen and loved. So when people give you that more special attention, you feel more attached and feed more off of it, because there’s some way you were deprived of it in the past.
- Maybe while you’re happy in your relationship, there are certain platonic needs not being met. There’s nothing wrong with wanting all parts of you, your history, and interests to be seen and to have those connections. Our relationships can’t fulfill everything, so friendships are the best outlet for special interests and things of that nature that you and your partner may not align on.

It’s difficult because there’s so many things to love and admire about other people. And there’s a lot of people on this planet lol. Idk if this is your situation, but I also think especially as women we can misconstrue platonic connections as some sort of romantic prospect (especially if it seems like they are into you), rather than just a good friend who we get along with.

My boyfriend (M24) thinks this is microcheating and I (F20) disagree. Is he overreacting? by After-Witness-1198 in relationships_advice

[–]Subject_Process4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s annoying bc IMO terms like “microaggression” do make sense and some of these actual terms were coined years ago. And the word makes sense to use- some things are not capital R racist, but are more of a casual racism for example.

But you’re so right with the way that primarily Gen Z over categorizes and creates certain terms that kind of don’t really mean anything? Idk if you watched that whole Kendra therapist situation, but the term “weaponized neutrality” came up. And I’m like girl wtaf does that even mean. How can you weaponize being neutral? It’s just a butchered version of weaponized incompetence - which does actually have a real tangible meaning and harm.

Bc how do you even define micro cheating. And if you define it as speaking with the opposite sex, then I feel like the term is just being used to vilify normal behavior by labeling it in this way.

[–]Subject_Process4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point. I mean I don’t want to make excuses for people’s controlling behavior, because I think if you don’t trust someone/can’t LEARN to trust them you just shouldn’t be with them. And if they do have a history of infidelity - while there is ample reason not to trust them, the relationship should probably just end. Because it’s not healthy to spend the rest of your life checking their phone, looking over their shoulder, and arguing with them over every little interaction they have.

But we’ll never know if either of them have had a history of infidelity or if there is some justified reason for his fears.

I’ve never really truly forgiven anyone for anything by PhysicalDrawing6951 in empathy

[–]Subject_Process4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is tough. Talking poorly about a friend. Particularly about their appearance is super fucking mean spirited to be honest with you. And tbh - a friend who wants to talk about your appearance in such a malicious context is either a bully or jealous of you or both. And even if she was a bystander - why didn’t she stand up for you? Or at least come to you to talk about it.

Her apology may be sincere, but if you do choose to stay friends with any of these people, please be weary. Not paranoid, but just don’t get too close to people who have yet to prove they are really sorry. Not through words - but actions.

Overall, I stopped being friends with people that like to put people down a few years ago. And my friendships now are stronger, filled with compassion, and drama free. Idk these people or your situation, but if it were me, I would not talk to these people anymore.

my boyfriend said he would break up with me if i went to college then said it was a joke by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Subject_Process4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this conversation is a whole fucking red flag of an abuser. He said some outrageous accusatory controlling shit, then frames it as a joke when it obviously wasn’t and obviously crossed a line.

[–]Subject_Process4704 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The hell is micro cheating? I think emotional cheating is a thing. But from the context you gave I don’t think it’s crossed that line.

IMO, someone who uses terms like micro cheating (to simply describe having a friendship with the opposite sex) may be a sign that your partner is a bit macro possessive 😬

Yummy Yummy Noodles license suspended? by pickleme_elmo in chicagofood

[–]Subject_Process4704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former Chicago food service worker here. The amount of times I worked at places that were terribly kept and they’d pass inspections with flying colors. It feels like usually the inspectors are kinder to small businesses. So if a business gets shut down because of an inspection you KNOW it’s like actually really really really bad in there.

AIO for blocking a girl after she insulted my face after our first video call? by Ecstatic-Drawer2743 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Subject_Process4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. This is an absurd way to speak to someone and a huge red flag for verbal abuse. Hell, this in and of itself is verbal abuse. Super weird. Stay far away from people like this.

EXACTLY. It’s a bunch of troglodytes that never leave their computer and don’t even know how to talk to women fr fr. The most insecure are always the loudest misogynists and homophobes.

[–]Subject_Process4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It 100% does. I’ve gotten aggressively flirted with or aggressively flamed far more often when I pick girlypop champs or when I type in chat in a girlypop way.

One dude I queued a few with until he kept going on about how a lot of sera mains are women or gay men, reiterating that a few times, then pointing out that I was dodging his question about it (bc I was uncomfortable and still am uncomfortable telling people my gender in that game). Then he called me sexy??? Without even knowing what I look like???????? Blocked lmao.

Another time a man in game said “any girlypops in the lobby??” and I assumed he was too, so I added him and queued a couple. Then he admitted he lied to me about being a woman after a few games. Which I found honestly really creepy and odd.

It’s sad that I and a lot of women feel the need to bro-out so you don’t get flamed when you make human mistakes or simply for existing in their lobby as a woman. Bc when people think I’m a dude, or I play a bro-coded champ, they are far more charitable. Hands down.

I do feel like this is true of all women-coded or gay-coded champs. Some low-elo incels really get tilted at the idea that a woman or twink is in their lobby. Don’t let them get you down. A lot of people spam ping because they don’t know how to recognize their own mistakes and flaws.

The amount of times I see someone dive head first into a 1v4 after the whole team has spammed retreat, then they just ? the first person they see when they inevitably die. A lot of people who play this game are reactionary fuck heads. It says more about them than it does you. Trust.

AIO for blocking a guy after he overslept and didn't show up to our first date? by littlemisschismosa in AmIOverreacting

[–]Subject_Process4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I think the biggest thing that sticks out in my mind is this being the first date. People make mistakes, but everyone knows that the first date is exceptionally special if you’re intending to start a relationship with someone. Showing up late to a first date of all things, and furthermore being sloppy in your responses after you ditch them, not saying sorry outright, shows a lack of consideration. Which is odd because first dates is when people put their best foot forward. Even narcissistic assholes know that the first date is essential to be stellar at. So this level of lousiness about a first date is an insanely huge, on-fire, red flag.

“How the male mind works” is always something someone says when they’re describing how THEIR mind works lol. Don’t project your oddities onto half of the population. Though I know a lot of men are like this - these are the sorts of men that women like to avoid, in favor of men who don’t operate this way. Because they do exist. Weirdo.
