The average TrueAnon listener is a social democrat, maybe democratic socialist

Don't blow it up by assuming she's a freak commie like us, sus it out slowly first

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago

Start with a 32 minute rant about how Stalin was right and the history we’ve received was written “ex” information warfare officers who “switched” to being historians after WW2 and if she walks away you dodged a bullet.

Tbh most Westerners who use the communist label are also socdems

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tbf most socdems that use the socdem label are liberals

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

suggesting some amount of social democrats are not liberals

momo-hah

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Those are fascists so-far

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Friendly reminder that the average TrueAnon listener is a social democrat

This isn't the impression I get from their subreddit

alternate pov: be as up front about your freaky politics as possible if you're trying to find a serious partner. you want someone who is at least okay with where you're at if not on the exact same page. i have a marx quote high up in my bio on hinge, better to get it outta the way early.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

I agree, but there's a difference between getting it out of the way early on rather than ruining a fun casual date with complex depressing political talk

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I have to say that I think I earn a lot of respect from people by stating that I am a communist and then explaining and defending my position with passion.

Being a communist is sexy too, so there's that.

Freak all 7 days of the week very-smart

Invite her to see shen yun

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ask what her upper limit on locations is, and if it's okay if you bring a helicopter.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And whether she'd be into dating a sewer guy

Edit: Or a mole person

Say "Oh you're a Qanon fan too?"

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

This will either bomb hilariously or be genuinely really funny and well received. There is zero in-between.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I love all the anons. Qanon, Trueanon, Frantzfanon

one of the things that these last few decades has taught me is that ostracized people are usually able to vibe with other ostracized people even though they have diametrically opposite world views.

i suppose that's one of the reasons why lemmy is now seeing an influx of social conservatives, in addition to helping amp up the liberal vs leftist culture war on lemmy.

trueanon fans range from BMF to RFK Jr

Just make sure to pronounce “Kamabla” 23 different ways and you’re golden

TrueAnon tip: don't talk about TrueAnon on dates.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I've finally gotten my wife listening to it enough to start making the 'it was a Jewish doctor' jokes. It's everything I had hoped it would be.

Honestly since I got dumped I'm maybe open to being honey potted

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit i haven't been single in so long but this still hit me right in the gut. Keep strong

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Dropping the bit for a bit. I'm actually contemplating packing it in for romance. I'm in my 30s and really haven't a relationship that lasted much more than 6 months. I think I'm just kind of annoying dude to be in a relationship with (a good chunk of my relationships have ended after I went on vacation with my partners 😂). I think the oncoming political situation is just gonna make dating for a (mostly) hetro guy even worse and frankly I'm getting more and more comfortable being single anyway. I like sex, but whatever, I'll get a fleshlight I guess.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

I will say that i met my current wife at the point where i was going to give up and be single

Does anybody have a clip or know the episode where brace does Obama voice and says

"Gotta have them liz, and brace too!"

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Make sure to wear your "bush did 911" t-shirt to your first date

[–] SoylentSnake@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

ask her if she's looking forward to the Racial Jake vs Brother Love 2028 election

[–] Zorothamya@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

Is TrueAnon worth listening to? I tried listening to one episode of it, but wasn't really impressed. (and also kind of didn't get the topic of the discussion)

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Depends on the ep, and if you're interested in getting some information on a topic you might be interested in with a whole lot of silliness intermixed. But like with anything else, if their sense of humor isn't your thing, it's not gonna click.

I recommend picking an episode that seems to talk about something you think might be interesting and go from there, just go in expecting a fair bit of goofiness and not a hard-facts-only-no-jokes citations-needed style joint. The Musk episodes were good for exposing exactly what kinds of cons he gets up to, and I intend to go back and listen to them for a refresher since he's somehow still viewed favorably by... people...
