I almost fell into the gamergate hole pre-transition when I was younger, stupider, naive, sheltered under a conservative household and environment, and was feeling lost and alone straight out of high-school with absolutely zero guidance that would actually help me, with my only solace being gaming and online gaming spaces. It only made me feel worse and I didn't realize it until I got out after making friends in progressive gaming spaces with progressives and minorities. Thankfully, I didn't go that far in, but the effects were already deep and it took me getting to know the people I was supposed to hate, and realizing they were the better people and that their beliefs and ideals made much more sense, for them to pull me out of the spiral and heal from it.

People in those right-wing spirals may think they feel joy and have found community, but their hate is poison to themselves and everyone around them. Joanne is absolutely 100% miserable while convincing herself she's not, or else she wouldn't focus so much on hatred and never doing anything fulfilling with her life since going down the transphobia spiral.
  

No shit? Cenauru was a woman hater before they became a dragon-girl/lesbian?? 
Thank god you are now a woman so you can say all the shit you used to say but now have the trans shield. 

I swear every one of those weirdos was a online incel douche that put on a wig to deflect criticism.

It's almost cliched how many of them have the EXACT SAME origin story:
  • Conservative family
  • Loner/outsider
  • No friends
  • Incel
  • Deep into video games
  • Almost became a complete gamergate CHUD
  • Found Resetera
  • Found the perfect thing to annoy their parents with

No, stupid.  It's because the world's defacto nature is fundamentally built on cultural exchange which has historically allowed societies to grow and evolve through the sharing of ideas, art, food, and traditions.  This is a vital aspect of human history and development, playing a significant role in shaping societies, fostering innovation, and promoting mutual understanding.  People just assume black people are in on this, too.  But you seem to think they are exceptional - as if they're a different species.  That American black-created music and culture is loved and shared throughout the world by different people should be a cause for celebration, you idiot.

What

What the west needs do to solve the "Jewish question" is round up all the Jews and put them into some sort of special area, maybe we can it a ghetto or something, and then we can deal with them later as a "final solution". We can ask the Germans for assistance as they are a very thorough people who may have an efficient solution.

That's pretty much it.  She wants to live in a black ethnostate, but she is not willing to get up and leave the wealthy country she lives in for her convictions - the dozens and dozens of African countries that already exist can't afford her the life she wants, nor will she have her precious activist identity -- the only meaning in her life, if she can't complain about oppression.  White people are what get Nepenthe up in the morning.  So she can comfortably stay in America, and complain that the reason these black nations are poor is because of capitalism and white people, and never have to be part of the solution.

I decided to go back to school for something else (HR) and I like it. I currently have an upaid placement and was hoping for some type of work afterwards, It's looking a bit more grim now I still have 4 weeks left in my placement, During this whole 1 year off none of my co-workers messaged me and that was fine. All of a sudden starting 2 weeks ago they all start messaging me being super nice at first and chummy and then dropping conversation after asking what my status is. I said to each well if I don't have a job maybe i'll come back for a bit. Well these past 2 days one of them keeps messaging me non-stop sending long messages saying well we like the new person and they would love to stay and sending me pictures of well you need to tell HR at the company by this day and you should make up your mind.

Honestly, I don't want to go back but I need money. It hurts I ain't gonna lie. I was there for 7 years and the last 2 were hell and when I left last June nobody said goodbye or even a card for leaving,

I think i'm just gonna not come back to the company.

I almost fell into the gamergate hole pre-transition when I was younger, stupider, naive, sheltered under a conservative household and environment, and was feeling lost and alone straight out of high-school with absolutely zero guidance that would actually help me, with my only solace being gaming and online gaming spaces. It only made me feel worse and I didn't realize it until I got out after making friends in progressive gaming spaces with progressives and minorities. Thankfully, I didn't go that far in, but the effects were already deep and it took me getting to know the people I was supposed to hate, and realizing they were the better people and that their beliefs and ideals made much more sense, for them to pull me out of the spiral and heal from it.

People in those right-wing spirals may think they feel joy and have found community, but their hate is poison to themselves and everyone around them. Joanne is absolutely 100% miserable while convincing herself she's not, or else she wouldn't focus so much on hatred and never doing anything fulfilling with her life since going down the transphobia spiral.
 
Look at all the projection in this. Even though he's describing his current status and ResetERA.com.

Also how easily he'll change his convictions if people are nice or fawning instead. Never thinking for himself, apparently just willing to accept the "people I was suppose to hate" until he realized "they were the better people" and that he should hate the chuds.

They're fundamentally unserious people. Who demand to be taken VERY SERIOUSLY at all times.

Also, nobody can "own" culture. Nepenthe is such a neurotic autistic ignorant capitalist wannabe that she looks at actual property and denies its existence or scarcity, looks at IP and wants that for everything to the point of outlawing machines because they trample on the "ownership" of ideas somehow. Permanent monopolies that gatekeep access to their ideas for a price, an Eternal Disney copyright state.

I'd also note that none of those countries subscribe to her theory of a single unified Black identity that everyone of the same skin color shares both historically and currently. Most of them don't even have a single unified nation, they're a collection of ethnic tribes that COLONIALIST WHITES literally drew lines around forcing them together. She thinks they're "all in this together" because she she thinks all Black Americans are as impoverished and "native" as the hundreds of millions of Africans who have absolutely zero capital and no pathways to escape their absolute poverty except the newly recent meager increasing access to global capitalism. She ropes in Brazil to this even though they have a very distinctly different culture than the rest of all the other American nations. She doesn't even have a typical American campus experience to see how the literal African students differ from the Black American students. She sees only the skin color, that's as deep as people are to her.

I worked at this company for 7 years, last few years have been shit and realized I don't want to do that line of work. So I did a smart move, my company allows education leaves so I took advantage. I decided to go back to school for something else (HR) and I like it. I currently have an upaid placement and was hoping for some type of work afterwards, It's looking a bit more grim now I still have 4 weeks left in my placement, During this whole 1 year off none of my co-workers messaged me and that was fine. All of a sudden starting 2 weeks ago they all start messaging me being super nice at first and chummy and then dropping conversation after asking what my status is. I said to each well if I don't have a job maybe i'll come back for a bit. Well these past 2 days one of them keeps messaging me non-stop sending long messages saying well we like the new person and they would love to stay and sending me pictures of well you need to tell HR at the company by this day and you should make up your mind.

Honestly, I don't want to go back but I need money. It hurts I ain't gonna lie. I was there for 7 years and the last 2 were hell and when I left last June nobody said goodbye or even a card for leaving,

I think i'm just gonna not come back to the company.

What's every bodies thoughts?

lmao
