Totally unrelated except for Twitter bullshit but as an American I have very little interaction with Antifa, but I follow a bunch of them on Twitter. They have the best flame wars and anyone that thinks the Left should stop calling fascists "mommy fuckers" does not have my support.

i'm a repulsive twitter creature and twitter communists are legit except for they don't know not everything is a teachable moment. @hitlerman1488 isn't going to be interested in learning facts

then again there's all those rhizzone poster threads on the Other Place so its all the same

twitter is like an MMORPG. the fact that it's basically pointless when you first start but gets slightly cooler when you put a little work into it and get yourself a well-curated timeline makes it addictive even though it remains dumb and bad

i noticed people who "don't like twitter" set up accounts with their real name and a photo of their actual selves, and only follow celebrity/brand accounts and news outlets, and never tweet at other people

meanwhile people who like twitter are weirdos who follow weirdos and it becomes basically a halfway house between irc and a shitposting forum, and then you wind up sleeping on an airbed on the floor of someone's bedroom in a different country or going to a shitty amsterdam sex museum with them or something

Twitter is just talking to people. If you don't like Twitter, you don't like talking to people. It's okay to be antisocial sometimes but if it persists you should probably get a rigorous schedule of treatment to stop you from being afraid of others.

the only time talking to a person is like twitter is when the person talks like twitter, ie they broadcast their thoughts to whoever is listening without regard for context or the interest of their audience

Ah so you have met me in real life.

You scoff loudly and then overhear him say "Being blind doesn't stop me from doing the things I want to do."

this is funny and all but i'm pretty sure the most rabid twitter users think intensely about their audience and feel like they know exactly who they are talking to. it has the veneer of "talking to everyone" but with the way following works it's not much more like talking to everyone than posting on the rhizzone. the "social graph" of twitter is a lot of mostly closed loops and you really have to go out of your way to find things that aren't in your own little echosphere

(echosphere is clever, i wasn't trying to be clever it just came out of my fingers. don't hate me because i'm beautiful)
