To a certain extent this is true, but less so a political ideology and more "Isolated person who is terminally online" which happens to have a 1-1 overlap with both communists and fascists.
Let's be honest, well-adjusted people are not playing HellTaker and DDLC despite them being very good games. Most people play FO:NV once or twice and think it's pretty good. They don't install 500+ mods to try to escape from the meaninglessness of existing in a society in which you can neither influence nor find comfort in. It's just an unfortunate shared characteristic between us the far-right wing.
If most people on Hexbear had a safe existence, happy childhood, and meaningful social life then they would not be here.
It's "westerners as a group do not have the material basis to desire revolution because they live relatively comfortable lives so the people who disagree are isolated from society."
The only people for whom the violence and chaos of revolutionary war would be worth it are largely traumatized or marginalized individuals. It's why the vast majority of revolutions only happen in countries where the status quo was borderline hell. The idea that communists have better thoughts so they choose communism is pure liberal/idealistic ideology comrade.
Agree but theres also a number of comrades who were so spoiled that they fell into socialism as a way of rebellion and it likely made too much sense to leave.
I cannot believe I was ever actually afraid of these people. Maybe they're only a threat because they outnumber us by the millions (never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups), but individually they're losers. Even the stereotypical right-wing bodybuilder, I have a cousin that fits the bill but he's your run of the mill republican rather than an outright fash.

I had all of these things, I just have a lot of free time at my email job.
Bro don't out me like this
you take that back
I have those things, I just like to be right about things and ended up here by refusing more and more incorrect things.
... Is this "Communists are just angry losers" but from the left?

I mean, I AM an angry loser, but not because I'm a pinko.
Come to think of it, yeah.
