I don't think lot's of people become communists (your words) in their late teens through 20's
Once or twice I said something along the lines of
"yea I'll even go further than socialist and say I'm pretty much a communist" when I was at the height of my thinking that government should take a very heavy hand in ensuring everyone's welfare. I probably said this on like, two occasions. I wasn't a member of any communist group or anything. I've mentioned it to demonstrate just how far in the other direction I was at one point, that's all. I think you've overblown it in your mind.
I think you may think that may be the case because you were/are very socially withdrawn and have no real reference
Don't type your life story out on the board and then cry about it and call it personal jabs when someone calls you on it
I haven't typed anywhere near my life story, believe me. And this is the problem, you think you're
"calling me on it" but the reason I take issue is that you consistently misinterpret and get it wrong, and spit back an interpretation of things I've said which is in no way accurate. The reason for this MAY be the fact that instead of attempting to understand or discuss, you're just looking for the shortest path to the next personal insult you think you can squeeze out of anything I disclose.
Another great example, now you're saying I am/was "very socially withdrawn" - that's not accurate. I guess you've taken me saying that I'm not one for parties and don't drink and a few other little things and tried to cobble that into something which allows you to try to paint me as some reclusive, anti-social person. Not the case.
Lets see, nationalist, supports eugenics, white supremacist. What an amazing person you are.
"I'm not a white supremacist." - "So, a white supremacist then?"
I like how you're completely willing to immediately grab "nationalist" out of what I say, and instantly believe it 100% because you think it sounds bad (it isn't) and add it to your little mental list of the ways I'm really really mean and evil. Yet, within the same post you grabbed that from, I clearly stated I'm not a "white supremacist" but because that would chip away at your little list, you ignore that.
We both know that your type are absolutely desperate to attach as many of these little verbal hand grenades to someone you disagree with, as you can. As fast as you can. Whether that means instantly calling someone a misogynist the moment they say anything which diverges from the hardcore feminist agenda ever so slightly. Or whether it's calling someone a "racist" the moment they take notice of crime statistics or vote republican, or whatever.
The standard is exceptionally low for your type when it comes to trying to stamp people with these things. It's not any legitimate attempt to understand someone's positions or to have a discussion - it's just how you justify to yourself that you're the good guy, they're the bad guy, and you can safely keep on avoiding engaging with them like an adult or giving what they're saying any kind of serious look, and instead just keep hurling insults.
"Actually studies have shown the supposed pay gap between men and women is just a result of different career choices, no company has some policy of paying women less." - "SEXIST MISOGYNIST!!!!!"
"Well couldn't these 'disparate impacts' in school discipline just be because black kids are acting up more?" - "RACIST!!!!!"
"Yea what happened to this girl is awful but I will point out that getting plastered around a bunch of drunk teenage boys is not a great idea. Avoiding that kind of situation is a good way to avoid getting assaulted." - "RAPE-APOLOGIST!!!!!"
"Yea I'm not sure if I feel entirely comfortable with someone who was born male being able to use the same bathroom as little girls." - "TRANS-PHOBIC GAY BASHER!!!!"
and on, and on. The left has taught people like you very well. Don't listen, don't talk, just toss insults and rapidly disengage. It's the best way to cling to stupid, unexamined beliefs indefinitely.
