of just asserting shit smugly
well
I'll rephrase
there are those would would say sargon does the same thing
yes
he's good at putting together straightforward arguments against obvious nonsense
sargon is also cringey
merely smugly or loudly asserts things
sargon actually evolves his political philosophy
and integrates criticism
I doubt wee sargon 2014 could even grasp his current positions
doesn't make him not cringey
idunno
I've watched him get where he's at
he reminds me of some folks I've known personally
they are genuine
even if shit comes off a bit cringey sometimes
I'm not talking about his position, I'm talking about how he acts
idunno
I think it's less cringey if you feel you've seen the whole progression
hahaha
well
I know a few unironic communists in my private life
they're perfectly fine until exposed to anything where the market isn't absolutely hitting a home run right this moment
at which point they toss out all reason
and go straight toward full state control of 100% of aspects of human life
to maximize correctness™ of outcome
it's 0 to 60 in a couple seconds for these people
unironic communists tend to be pretty good people to be around so long as you don't broach that kinda topic
also provided they're not tankies
basically so long as you don't know they're a communist by talking to them then it's ok
well
I find them to be highly variable
I think they're fundamentally very dangerous people to be around
because given the right circumstances, they would literally feed you to animals for the greater good
no joke
and if you listen to the way they talk about people in their world view, this much is clear
but at the same time, sometimes they are more compassionate in a given moment
all the ones I know are utter hypocrites
they live bourgeois lives to which the only challenge is their own pettiness and decadence
