    Except for those who have stopped thinking in front of the screen, surrounded by unnecessary products of the worst monopolists and believe that this will be enough to change the system, because they only criticize capitalism on the networks, without changing their own lives, since it can cause some strain or discomfort.

      Me looking at a picture a fucking creep took from a person they never met and was simply drinking a beverage: I know their entire political life and I’m so normal for this

        Of course, like everyone else, but there is a difference between this and connecting with a $1200 Mac from a comfortable position, just posting bad things against capitalism, hoping that this will change something.

          That’s right. Communists can’t be comfortable, they have to be sad and miserable and hunched in the dirt.

          Wild how you know all about what this person you never met does based on a single photo taken without consent. That’s a super cool superpower, that you are able to tell that they don’t do any organizing and their entire praxis is tweeting. You should join a carnival with that skill.

            Naturally there is no reason to live in misery, what does not fit is the form of militancy avoiding discomfort, from the sofa in the house. Perhaps with this you understand better what I mean, for seeing it too many times.

              Do you still not see the ways in which this so-called joke is just you projecting on a stranger?

              Further still, a stranger who has done nothing to harm you, and may very well be a comrade?

              Some random student who already hates capitalism is much closer aligned in values than the kids their age who are horny for panzers and Hugo Boss. They’re deserving of a conversation, of a chance to read and grow and radicalize (if they aren’t already, which, again, you have no way of knowing from one random picture). They are not deserving of being scorned and mocked and having their picture thrown around on the Internet as a subject of derision. That reflects infinitely more on you than it does on them.

              For shame.

                Whatever you say, but I don’t think I’ve personally attacked you and any other from Lemmy, I’ve simply expressed my concern about the worldwide advancement of fascist parties and youth who think it’s cool to be on the left, instead of be active, militating in a party, participating in politics. Be informed and boycott products of exploitative companies. I also think that self-criticism is important, with a left divided by small ideological differences, a problem that the cavemen of the ultra-right never had. If these concerns, confirmed daily by political events, have me called a dumbass, if I haven’t insulted anyone who hasn’t been recognized in the description, maybe I am. Sacred cows no longer exist for me and sometimes I wish that my predictions of the future do not come true, as they usually do. Really comrade.

                  You may not have insulted anyone from lemmy but you’ve insulted a random Internet stranger that you have never met and know nothing about. If that isn’t a problem to you, I don’t know what to say. There’s not some magic rule where it’s only insulting if the person in question is present.

                  In fact, sharing this person’s image specifically to insult them without their knowledge and consent is way creepier and shittier behaviour

                    Little is seen of this person to recognize him personally with the mask on, it is the generic descriptive portrait that describes a real problem, it could equally have been a caricature or the simple description- Those who do not recognize their own behavior in this, should not feel insulted at all and those who do recognize themselves, perhaps make them reflect that ideology cannot be a mere fashion behind a screen.
