When I was growing up, we had the perfect amount of racism. Now everyone is trying to change the amount of racism! Why can’t everyone just be NORMAL!?

a destructive, racist, colonizing, boring culture
The only adjective that would offend the hogs there is boring.
It’s true that I’ll become more conservative as I age. I’ll stop being lenient towards anyone who still supports capitalism
It’s true, I thought re-education camps were good, but then as I got older I just want to gulag my boss.
I believed in re-education when I was younger; now I just believe in .22 long
Because being NORMAL and COMFORTABLE has never been a dogwhistly way to motivate people to goosestep toward fascism.
I do enjoy watching the circular firing squads that these NORMALITY and COMFORT seeking fascists are voluntarily lining up for.
Man, I missed you complaining about the BE NORMAL people. depressing that would-be revolutionaries ever had that as a slogan lmao

I will never forget, nor forgive, that smug piece of shit that one New Years night that had that “I love you all, but you need to go out and kiss a stranger and BE NORMAL, otherwise you’re an embarrassment to my arbitrarily determined standards of One True Leftism” post that was so toxic that it drove a number of people off of Hexbear and some never returned and for days afterward some toxic douchebag fans/alts of that same piece of shit were bullying people and calling them “shut ins” and of course chanting “touch grass.”
When I came back from my own little celebration a few hours later, which was done in a careful, measured way with a small group of masking friends because we were at the height of the pandemic which still hasn’t fucking gone away and perhaps never will; I saw that post and got some weapons-grade concern trolling sent my way for trying to stick up for “shut ins.” I received all the chud-style hits from that user’s supporters in the next few hours, such as accusing me of mental illness (because leftism is about denigrating and invalidating non-neurotypical people, totally) because it was THAT IMPORTANT to be “normal” for the sake of… fuck it, I’ll just say their name.
If @RonJeremyCorbyn@hexbear.net is still here, on an alt or lurking… they have the unique distinction of being the one former regular user I have despised most on this entire site for all time because of that incident and I’m not afraid to let them know that. I don’t remember the names of the sycophantic shitlings that clumped together with them during that thread, but if they’re still around I hope they had time for introspection and regret for what they had done.
for me it comes from an entirely different direction, but it doesnt matter - leftists shouldnt try to be normal, they should change what’s considered normal if revolution is outright out of the window. Marx wasnt normal, Lenin wasnt normal, the forgotten “organizer” toiling for the party wasnt “normal”. It’s a harmful (as you pointed out) and conformist aspiration. Nobody useful will like for wearing a fitted suit with the right buttons open, nobody worth befriending will like you for conformism
I certainly understand that.
As much as I would otherwise be pleased to watch the MAGA fascists squirm with discomfort because their own “NORMAL” imperative got visibly damaged recently, the way Democrats and their supporters are using “weird” over and over again as a rhetorical weapon is very likely to go a bad way for anyone outside of the brunch liberal’s idea of “NORMAL” and of course they’d be fine with that because most of them hate leftists a lot more than they hate fascists.
I think my gripe is that Bigotry isnt “weird”. that is such an understatement. Bigotry is hostile to human life and progress.
it’s puzzling that we even think we have to join the KH-TW battle against Trump. I don’t think they went out saying “we are the normal ones against the left and right weirdos” but I really doubt they would not resort to all the nasty dogwhisles if a genuine left challenge emerged. Like remember Bernie Sanders and the borderline antisemitic depictions of him rubbing his hand, next to money etc etc (this isnt an endorsement of BS). I think liberal populism is not straight out to stigmatize queer and nd people right now at the moment with the “weird” slogan, but I think they wouldnt hesitate a moment if leftists/minorities actually challenge their power - if that makes sense? At the very least it doesnt challenge power in a meaningful way and I find it dismal people jump on the “weird” bandwagon and hitch themselves to this by defending this shit.
I think my gripe is that Bigotry isnt “weird”.
Agreed there. Bigotry is a threat to civilization and life itself, and on top of that it is also dreadfully normalized and has been such a norm in the United States that Hitler himself was taking notes on how bigotry was done at a systemic level for his own project.

That loser had trillion alts
yet to see a tumblr users with that many badges have a good take about anything
100% this person stopped wearing a mask as soon as they felt they wouldn’t be called out for it.
Typical cracker mindset
Hexbear be comfortable until struggle session hits.
I’m perfectly okay with killing people en masse and traumatizing the rest. Why is everyone else so radical :/
Wait, this is Blaze not Tumblr? It looks exactly the same
