I catch myself, because that would be severely uncool, and damage leftism, right?
I feel like this is a problem. All of you did this to me.
"Excuse me comrade"
"Can you help me out, comrade"
"Shall we strike tonight, or at dawn, comrade"
Like, I don't even ever say it with you chapos, only type it, which is the weird part.
Now this is the kind of dynamic, solutions-oriented thinking I could use on my shop floor! You're hired!
Do you have to watch a video telling you not to say "You guys" and instead use "Yall", or say "Utility Access Hatch" instead of "Manhole" once a year? Yinz just wanna riff off that until yous group reaches "Comrades".
Personally, I prefer "Brother" and "Sister". It achieves the same purpose, while sounding a bit more natural.
Ye whenever I think to use gendered terms with casual acquaintinces, I dissolve into a puddle of awkward non-binary uncertainty and just don't instead hahaha. Maybe that's where the 'comrade' instinct is coming from. Maybe.. friend? 🥺 hahaha
I like friend for everyone. Co-workers, friends, people on the street, dogs, plants, microscopic beings. They're all my friends .
And ya, sibling has a formality to it. Friend it is! We're friends! We're all friends!In Australia we solved that by using either mate or cunt for everyone
Communism is when your political economy recognizes that humanity is, at its core, a Society of Friends
I would be suspicious of anyone who refers to me as friend out of nowhere
how about homie :pleading face::backhand index pointing right::backhand index pointing left:
The first time I called someone comrade IRL it felt weird and good, like the first time you take your clothes off for someone
Haha awww, that sounds really adorable! I can't wait for my first time . all this time on chapo has me ready!
