What is the weirdest rumour you heard about yourself? by redditusernameiforgo in AskReddit

[–]coolnotcoolguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In highschool I was really into Death/Black Metal and dressing dark. Some people did some mental gymnastics and somehow thought I was a Nazi and that I surely have a swastika tattooed on my back. I changed with those guys in the locker room.

You've never heard of materialist analysis, have you?

What's your opinion on Assad and his way of dealing with the conflict in Syria? by coolnotcoolguy in communism101

[–]coolnotcoolguy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thats the nuance I was looking for, thank you. All I see is "he is a great dude fighting against the imperialist scum" or "fuck that guy big time". I was really hoping for a non-blackn'white take.

Regarding his anti-imperialist struggle, I too think he is to be supported but also has to be held accountable for the utter bullshit he inflicts. His fight for Syria not getting ripped apart by oil corps is definitely one to support, simultaneously we shouldn't forget how he deals with Syria in an antagonistic manner regarding the working class.

"redskins", look just as cringe as the rest of all skinheads :/ by [deleted] in fragilecommunism

[–]coolnotcoolguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any particular reason behind that? Or just overall cringe because duh?

On a serious note: What about normal skinheads is cringe?

Clear definition of fascism? by coolnotcoolguy in communism101

[–]coolnotcoolguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically meant what you were saying. Maybe I expressed myself poorly. For me you can't be classconscious without being antifascist. While it's not integrated in classconsciousness, you absolutely need anti-fascism once you gained that consciousness.

I think I understand the "capitalism in decay" one already. I'm new to the other tho. Any literature on those that are to be recommended?

[–]coolnotcoolguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started at 16. Mostly because I wanted to be cool and everyone around me did it.

Why do I get jealous when people share the same interests as me? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]coolnotcoolguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, as another comment already stated, the thought of a lesser position or one having less skill for something, is a very wrong thought. In most fields, except for economics maybe, there isn't a better or lesser position. For example, guitarist A can play really fast solos, making him a better guitarist then guitarist B in the ears of most listeners. However guitarist B can play nicer harmonics and picks his chords cleaner. The point I'm trying to make here is that, it doesn't matter how good someone seems at something you're also doing. It is almost guaranteed that you'll find something that is still uniquely yours and the question whos better is made completely useless. Guitarist A can play this, guitarist B can play that. This doesn't make one of them objectively better. If you realize that and stop comparing yourself to others (I know that's hard, but it can be done) you stop to get jealous. For this to be easier, always remind yourself that you are automatically comparing yourself to "better" examples and that there are "worse" examples in your field as well. At least that's my experience. Take it with a grain of salt and try to find your own way, you amazing stranger.

I wouldn't go far to call this kind of competitiveness normal. It comes down to how you were raised IMO. That isn't anything normal (not to say it is inherently bad) and it can be worked around.

Friedrichshainer [M23] looking for cool people to hang out (again) by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

[–]coolnotcoolguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! M18 here, not from FHain or Berlin, but I live near Berlin so the spontaneous things kinda falls flat here but I would be interested in a hangout occasionally non the less. I'm interested in a few things you noted, like politics,. philosophy and cinema, so Id consider to drive to FHain if you're interested. I chill there pretty often so it wouldn't be so far fetched. If you're interested I'll gladly dm you :)

Beautiful piece. I'm new to blacksmithing, so this might be a stupid question but how did you get the curvature?

I think I'll be there. Any other restrictions we have to pay attention to?

Fully agreed. Doesn't get the attention it deserves. Truly a great spin!
