Duh of course I've got a red flag. I'm a communist.
-
The real takeaway is that men have worse politics than women (of people surveyed).
-
They look better in person
It is a tough burden to bear
-
I get it. I'm definitely hot, but I'm also not very photogenic. Most people won't understand our struggle.

The survey results, which have been shared with Teen Vogue, include responses from 1,033 registered voters between the ages of 18-34. It was conducted between August 25 and September 1: 43% of respondents identify as male; 45% identify as female; 5% identify as trans; 6% identify as nonbinary or gender nonconforming, and 1% identify as other. (source)
Trans people disproportionately identified as "progressive", the most left wing option there was in the survey:

ah, so anybody who’s based enough to realize that voting is nothing but a waste of time wasn’t included. i feel like that’s an important caveat for interpreting this data
Death to America

love to see my 90% socialist number confirmed by a skewed survey. also it was voters from aug 25-sept 1st, have no clue how they got in contact, i dont think any elections were happening during that time. and i bet that 7% was indignant that there wasnt a more hard left option. the question itself is also leading, you could answer your family as being liberal even if you dont believe that -

They're registered voters, not people they questioned at the polls

They have no hobbies

The gender difference is... interesting.

This is honestly my experience nowadays. Women are more likely to have at least half decent politics.
-
something something colonialism something something reproduction of labor something something the historical defeat of the female sex and the mother right etc

I really don't like the degree to which the alt-right has coopted overgrown facial hair.
I mean look at these guys:
We claimed this look from the beginning!-
The key is to also have long head hair. The chuds keep it face only. But yeah it's a bit annoying. I just wear a lot of purple / pink so no one gets any ideas.
-
You're absolutely right. When I had a ponytail I could sometimes get by forgetting to shave. Now that it's cut short I gotta be diligent or end up looking like a creep.

Nothing is sacred.

I'm doing my part! (by looking like a fucking caveman lol)

I have not had a haircut or beard trim since before the pandemic.

They aspire to be a landlord 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
-
any sympathy at all for landlords is a red flag

I saw a profile once where this woman had put that she wanted someone "mostly progressive" or something like that, which I thought was a weird way to phrase that until I scrolled down and saw an "I have my shit together and so should you" section of her profile that mentioned she had rental properties she'd "built up" or something. Must suck wanting to meet a guy that doesn't dehumanize you but is also okay with you sucking the juices out of people too poor to buy their own home.

I'm T4T so I'm pretty sure being a communist increases my odds of getting a date actually
-
The overrepresentation of transfems in American socialist orgs is pretty nuts lol
-
it does lmao
-
-
Hell yeah! New dude repellant!
Just admit I’m a commie and 65% of dudes leave me alone!
Probably more like 85% - Living semi-rural in a historically conservative area suuuuuuck. And progressives tend to respect the nonverbal fuck off signals, so just a ton of conservative dickbags bothering..

they always have been

I was lurking the joerogan subreddit and they were big mad about this.

Screaming and crying and throwing up and shaving my neck rn
But yeah idc that most women don't want to date a vegan/communist/etc. It's convenient for me since I don't want to date anyone who isn't. This way I don't have to do all of the filtering myself. I hate talking to someone, scheduling a date, and then learning that they are a squishy liberal who is presumably looking past politics because they like some other thing about me. I don't want you, you are wasting both our time. One time a girl literally dropped the r slur. Like did you read the bio or not? Jesus, people.

yeah I was gonna come say this. Most everyday regular people think the word communist just means "bad." They don't ascribe it any particular political leaning, they don't associate it with leftism or welfare or working class concerns or anything. It carries the same weight as a word like authoritarian or tyrant. Most everyday folk if pressed to describe what a communist believes will instead describe a cartoon of a greedy autocrat who makes everyone poor and causes the crops to die.

I'm just too unbothered

They read
Destined to be alone smh

Meh, in my experience even conservative women will look past the whole 'communist' thing as long as you don't lead with it. That being said, conservative women tend to be pretty boring imo (in that they all follow the same trends) with the exception being those into athletics, which is a split between conservative women and lesbians (who are usually anti-communist progressive liberals), so they are an interesting demographic.

Carl Marks had hair on his neck, and many other places.
Being built for winter is nothing to be ashamed of.
-
uhh nah, we're all women, men are more angry about women being communists

I mean I refused to see Barbie but because the writers are on strike so giving studios money is scummy.
Edit: come to think of it, I haven't been to the theatre since like 2021
-
what i'm learning from this thread is that people here don't know what hobbies are
-
-
Screw you, I have hobbies! It just happens that I love watching the Skingrad city gates in my spare time!
-
just more shit for spoiled "middle class" people
-
-
I cant grow a beard
-
MAGA 'Communists" in shambles
-
Yes.
-
Pshaw, flawed study, what's the percentage for they DON'T identify as a communist?
-
I'm a neckbeard.
-
why is the hobbies thing more important than everything else?
I'm sorry I'm broke on a capitalist hellscape and can't afford a car, much less pay for some club dues or expensive gear to do some adrenaline junkie shit outside and just enjoying sitting inside playing video games and doing other online crap like reading (not books generally, unfortunately)
I hope this is just some shit The Kids™ care about, but I feel like being poor only weighs more heavily against me the older I get.
-
What are you on about lol. Reading and playing video games are hobbies. Do you think the average person is playing games for a job? And yes there are a bunch of nerds out there doing these things for fun who want to date. You likely won’t find them on fuck apps, but every other coworker is playing something. Having “no hobby” would be sitting on your phone for 8 hours scrolling on twitter, then switching over to YouTube, then switching over to discord
Being poor does affect people’s lives, but plenty of poor people still get laid. If you can play games, then you’re not at the level of poverty where work consumes every second of your waking time and “hobbies” are a waste of time because you need to feed yourself
Anyway, as someone whose hobbies are solitary and don’t contribute to any positive outcomes in my social life, people value hobbies because
- It provides alone time for all parties
- It provides something to talk about
- it shows you have goals and purposes in your life outside of breathing and working
- If applicable, the hobby allows for collaboration and intimacy

I shave most days out of the week, but I am probably spiritually a neckbeard, yeah.
-
Caught myself in my phone reflection just now..
Brb gotta go shave

I hate living in a world of symbols
Like having to be constantly aware of when sign represents some seemingly unrelated essence, whether the user intends it or not.
See someone with a fedora and neck beard and it's supposed to mean they're misogynist.
My choice of masc or femme clothing sends a signal of my identity whether I want it to or not, and there's no such thing as a neutral base that sends no signal, like if I put no effort into it I still send a signal, I'm just unaware of what that signal is. Everything is this-coded or that-coded and to try to be not-coded is a statement rather than a lack of one. There's no such thing as a non-statement.
I just want to float through existence as a pure essence, interacting with other pure essences.
This is the biggest mood ever.

Feel this super hard
Body image issues always led me to conceptualize myself as an entity inhabiting a body, the body being incidental. And yes, I know my mind is an emanation of my body, but it's still primarily a vehicle for my soul. I want to meet other souls.
I also felt this way until I started getting myself involved with physical exercise, and now I kinda feel more grounded in myself.
That might help you.
Big mood. You're extremely real for this one
All about the cultural signifiers, comrade. People want to be part of a tribe but that makes them all so bland. Just a conveyor belt of general purpose assembly line humanity specced to fit into a wide variety of utilities. Pure essences are too nebulous to fit. We just have to drift together on the perimeter
That's basically what Human Instrumentality was, and the point about why that was bad was that you may not actually like who you "really are", or who other people are, and they still may not actually like you.
