The fact that the this coming from the red scare sub made me suspicious unfortunatly makes me the opposite of this guy.

This isn't just being incredibly offline. This is being incredibly offline + having only friends that never talking about anything political

For sure Alex is 100% cishet white male and 90+% of his friends are also cishet white people

its also dumbguy energy

i got a dumbguy friend and its amazing what he just shuts out like ive seend the trend of golden-retriever boyfriend which i think is funny but those guys are people-pleasers often dumbguy energy is a force of its own and not to be trifled with

the best if when you try to have a conversation about this stuff with your dumbguy friend and he listens and then says "i dunno man..." and you think he'll give his opinion on the subject after that like most people but he doesnt he just trails off and lets things be silent for a moment and then wants to talk about video games or sports or something like he genuinely means he doesnt know lol

I had a version of this guy who I was very good friends with but yeah along with "I dunno man" he'd often just say "damn, big if true" then just change topics

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

haha, exactly

dumbguys rock

I don’t think being white or cishet has anything to do with it. Some people simply do not care about anything other than their own lives. I’ve seen it from the nicest classmates and coworkers to ghoulish Lockheed employees who simply think “epic rocket satellite whoa!” And these people range from white to Asian to Hispanic to black. Money is in their bank accounts. All is good with the world.

Not in my experience at least. I've met hundreds, if not thousands of very well off minorities my life and while they are on average more reactionary than their poorer counterparts and never talks about politics/social issues casually, every one that I've gotten close to has revealed they think about racial politics a ton

This isn't a real guy. There are no "Cartography nerds" who don't know about the Israel Palestine conflict. You'll also see that the person not being online just so happens to align themself with very online picadilos. The offline guy instantly sides with the view of OP on transgender stuff, Israel-Palestine, age gaps and any other issue.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I’m offline 90% of the time and I disagree. “From the river to the sea” isn’t some twitter slogan, so that and the “cartography nerd” gave the post away as fanfiction, but everything else is pretty reasonable.

True but i think this is a pretty realistic outcome for a guy who is just not at all online

[–] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

headcanoning some guy in a reddit post as a secret wokist meme lord so irony poisoned and committed to the bit he's become trapped and has to pretend he doesn't understand systemic oppression.

[–] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on Teddit and Libreddit, which are Reddit frontends that protect your privacy.

Aside from the "body count" one, this would be me without this website and the handful of lefty news sites/blogs I visit. Everything else is just piracy, translation app, some YouTube stuff but nothing political.

I'm constantly being asked things which I have no context for. I assume it's from titok or twitter. I don't learn, form no opinion, and never hear about any of them again.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like a boring guy tbh

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

To me he is a king and also i am jealous. I wish in could be unaware of age gap discourse and the Bud Light bullshit. Only thing there im happy to know about is pronouns.

Eta: also happy i known about from the river to the sea but not about people thinking its bad

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

Ah, to be as carefree as a himbo yea

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Honestly, had no idea the bud light discourse was still a thing

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah the reactionaries still go on about it.

[–] voight@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can't wait until BANG Energy®️ releases an Israel flavor and we can talk about that instead

[–] CarmineCatboy@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

says the dirt seeking owl

your oppo research has no power here

How did you know my phone is an Oppo blob-no-thoughts

[–] CarmineCatboy@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

i went to sleep and forgot my powers blob-sleep

I’m a lot like this. Social isolation and general disconnectedness will do that to a motherfucker.

[–] voight@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Dude why would you want to have a serious discussion of a redscarepod post we are so much better than these people it's ridiculous.

It's like the stupidpol people, they're incapable of being happy in their fantasy worlds.

I just cherrypick their news posts because I know they pay attention to every third rail issue.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

we are so much better than these people it's ridiculous

that's an incredibly r/redscarepod thing to say

[–] voight@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

💅💅💅

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didnt want a serioius discussion

[–] voight@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I guess you can't stop people from taking it at face value instead of a reddit lie for attention

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

I didnt really care if its a real guy or not just found it cute. Hate the source too but i thought my joke about that in the bottom text would difuse that lol.

Based.

"Whats your body count?"

"My gunpowder stocks have fallen, billions of creepers must die."

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Redscare is a bad place dont post there

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

I dont. I got this screenshot from a random discord channel.

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago
[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I can believe this is a real person. Some people really are that tuned out and only pay attention to entertainment.

The only doubtful parts are someone who loves cartography not being aware of the conflict and thinking body count was about MW3. Body count is something people in his age group say all the time, especially guys. I could believe he didn't know if he was mid 30's.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

I feel like body count as "number of people you've had sex with" was a thing when I was in my early 20s, and I'm in my mid 30s now.

If I met this guy we would rapidly collide and explode

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

must be nice not being capable of thought

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Alex definitely thinks billionaires gained success via meritocracy and hard work.
