So far I’ve got 0 matches in a week, whereas without “communism will win” I would be getting 1-2 per day.

Idk how I feel about it. I’m getting old, getting lonely, and sometimes just chatting with someone new, even if they end up sucking after a week or two, is enough to give me hope that I’ll find someone. On the flip side I feel like being more upfront would lead to less, but more meaningful interactions. But today, at this moment, I feel a deep loneliness and sadness that I haven’t felt in a very long time.

Fuckin hell. The destruction of the social fabric in capitalist societies fuckin sucks. Just wanna find a cool life-mate to spend my days with.

:deeper-sadness:

Yeah, I know there’s a bazillion other things that are magnitudes more important than this right now, just needed to vent.

    I agree, for the most part. BUT... I have a friend who's an ML and her husband is a right-leaning libertarian (she was a lib when they met). He literally wanted to name their first kid after a character in Atlas Shrugged. It honestly sounds rough, it only works if they don't talk politics and she does no IRL praxis. Sounds like he's gotten a lot more apolitical in recent years, though. Oh and he's a transphobe too.

    I think people who are apolitical or even liberal who have sympathetic attitudes towards the poor and oppressed, totally, it can work. But there's quite a few people out there for whom it really won't.
