I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic
And what's more leftist than that

Learning about the wide variety of ways seizures can manifest and as soon as I clocked how many similarities there are btwn migraines & epilepsy
I remembered my last migraine involved face tingling, dizziness, dissociation and aphasia but no actual headache
Wuh oh haha

I find white people doing blaccents so odd; it doesn't even sound like any variety of Black American English, but they're all doing the same accent?
Like that Alex Consanis model. She doesn't "sound black", she sounds like she's doing Standard White Girl Weird Sassy Minstrel Show AAVE

I don't trust anyone who isn't attracted to Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her. Even if you're a straight woman. Like what do you mean your brain doesn't flip a gay switch to "on" for however long you look at her. That's suspicious.

I too love how the French are always ready to riot at a moments notice, but sometimes the "why aren't we like this" discourse irks me
I dunno, have you noticed they can spray liquid cow shit at a gov building w/o five cops immediately trying to beat them to death? Maybe that's a factor.

So, like, that 40k Necron book The Twice Dead King by Nate Crowley is just one big trans allegory, huh
I mean they're robots suffering from a mental illness called "the dysphorakh" created by the fact their minds can't handle feeling like organic beings in non-organic bodies. Plus, this shit:

Love to loudly complain about not being allowed to infodump, only to have twenty ND mufos go "Oh, no, I would actually love it if you did, go right ahead"
And then you freeze up because, as it turns out, *you're* the one imposing the no-infodumping-allowed rule on yourself. You big dumb idiot.

Surreal that companies will fire you if they find posts saying you don't like your job. They say it's about optics, but "my job sucks" isn't a controversial take. We all automatically assume it sucks, such is the nature of jobs
It's 100% about demanding mandatory performative gratitude

Hearing about how software companies dump idiotic projects on their developers solely to please investors who think a Chips Ahoy AI sounds cool
And it's oddly similar to dealing with a non-profit board. Just a series of impulsive dipshit ideas based in nothing but vibes & whimsy, eating your sanity

Learned that the idea of WWI being a war of attrition was likely just some shit commanders applied retroactively to rationalize failed operations
Very "I spent 6mo engaging in drawn out artillery fire w/o gaining an inch of ground...which, obviously, is exactly what I set out to do" type shit

Its so wild how being an actor was considered insanely repugnant for a huge chunk of human history, across multiple cultures.
Like the Byzantine Empress Theodora started as a low-born actress & Emperor Justinians court had to pass a law that forgave "reformed actors" to legitimize the marriage

Genuinely question: do neurotypical people actually find small talk enjoyable, like do they get something out of it, or do they just not mind it as much
Because sometimes you think they must enjoy it, they do it all the time. Other times its like oh you hate this too, so why are we doing it

As an AuDHD person one of my pet peeves is when the conversations comes to a halt so an NT person can laughingly comment "oh my god I love your mind, how did we even get here, you're all over the place"
Like thats cool but I'm trying to talk about attrition warfare & you're fucking this up for me

I think about how I hated how the San Francisco BART charged per station distance so much that I spent years preferring to CONSTANTLY talk my way out of fare hopping tickets
then its like...if you need to post cops in stations to catch fare hoppers THAT often, maybe your system does suck that much

I always loved how after a catastrophic financial crisis in the 90s, Finland sent the 5-6 key finance CEOs involved to go live in a remote cabin
It's not really jail, they have a good deal of freedom of movement, they're just not allowed to be in the wider community

I kinda wish we did the Athenian practice of Ostracism, where 1x/yr the city would decide if they wanted to vote someone into a decade long exile without a trial. Just a vibes based democratic "fuck that guy" process
Wouldn't you love to Ostracize Diddy or Nick Fuentes? I think we need this

For years I mocked the psychiatrist for including "chronic sympathy for underdogs" in my psych eval when I was tested for ADHD at 17 after I went on rants about shit like the basic human right to housing
And only now did I realize she was alluding to Justice Sensitivity, an ADHD trait. Whoops.

I can't stand that right after Big Pun drops one of the craziest bars in rap history in Twinz, it's immediately followed up by Fat Joe being violently mid.

I dig the "immortality would be an eternity of boredom & ennui" trope just bc I enjoy the existential horror of it all
But I don't dig that people treat it as if it's a given. Like I don't think its true, I think whether or not it would suck would depend on the person & no one acknowledges that

if you leaned into how weird & funny the torah/bible can be, more people would read that shit
i.e. the Korah Rebellion. Moses calls on God to have the ground swallow the rebels whole to end the conflict by proving Gods will, but instead everybody's like "damn you're a pretty fucked up guy for that"

Realized I loathe debate streaming bc it's a *total* inversion of Argument for the Sake of Heaven
AftSH is allowed to get heated, but it's in pursuit of deeper mutual understanding, it's not about ego. Debate streamers are trying to score dunks with bad faith shit & you lose if you start yelling.
