This is a fringe political app for leftists. Every single post here therefore carries implicit political undertone. I’m not “making anything about politics” — Everything here constantly already is, as a fundamental consequence of what this place is.

Hate is an inherent leftist trait. When you don’t have right-wing people around to hate, you turn on each other. The hate isn’t a property of the people around you; It’s inherent to yourself and you carry it with you everywhere you go. It’s amusing to watch. That’s all.

Leftists love to argue, and it’s funny to see them argue amongst themselves here on Bluesky since there’s almost nobody else here for them to argue with.

No, we just need known insane people not to have them. Transgender = known insane, by definition.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
Ironically the only reason people feel any need to identify as “transgender” is that they can only think of gender in terms of rigid gender norms. Rather than being OK with being an effeminate male, for example, the guy feels like the only way it’s OK to be effeminate is to “be” female.

Some naive kid with a cartoon avatar talking about the world as if he knows something. You're still sitting there on Tutorial Island, not really fully grown up yet. You need to sit down and actually listen to those of us who have experience and know what we're talking about.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
No, you are objectively 100% demonstrably wrong about that. Your whole political philosophy is built on a provable lie. It's sad how much mental gymnastics you go through in order to support evil like you are. You should have taken a second to realize that you are the evil bad guy.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
And now randomly you’re getting aggressive just because I’m trying to clarify the conversation. This is why people don’t like you and why you have to hang out on a tiny little specialized social network (1.2% the traffic of X) just to find the few people who can tolerate you.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
Your mistake seems to be assuming that people share posts based on the author of the post rather than the content of the post. I do agree that leftists tend to be author-centric like this, but intelligent people (especially Libertarians) share ideas rather than people.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m 100% sure that I don’t know who that is. This is exactly like how I don’t know who you are despite responding to you. Is this clear to you or do you need a little bit more explanation before correcting yourself?
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
Don’t know why you’d bring up mass murderers in a conversation where they aren’t relevant.

The comments to this post prove that Bluesky is nothing more than a political site for left-wingers to spew hatred. You took a post that had nothing at all to do with politics and somehow made it about politics, simply because you have no life/hobbies/work to talk about.

It’s funny to me that these are written primarily in Spanish and instruct people not to talk about their immigration status. Tells you everything you need to know right there about how subversive this intends to be. For what it’s worth: Non-citizens do NOT have citizenship rights lol.

Your clear narcissism however is what will protect your ego from recognizing reality. That narcissism you have on full display is clearly a defense mechanism. More power to you, I guess — It’s not me that it’s hurting.

But listen. Sometimes you try your hardest at something, and it just doesn’t work. You find out you’re not good at it. That’s what happened. You and I both know it.

If I flopped as hard as you did, maybe I’d repeat that often and force myself to believe it, too. It would be hard to resist pretending I wasn’t trying my hardest. Soothes the ego.

Ironically, a gay leftist hanging out on Bluesky seeking engagement by saying what they know is popular here — THAT is “hanging out in an echo chamber”. It’s so odd that you can’t see the indisputable fact that you’re the only one participating in an echo chamber here.

I recommend learning an actual skill, getting a real job, and doing something that actually benefits society. Your self-worship isn’t something the world is broadly interested in. This should be obvious when you compare your outcomes to the amount of time/energy you put into it.

It’s kinda ironic that someone who has been trying their hardest for at least 3 years to get their YouTube channel off the ground only to end up with literally 50 subscribers is telling others about “saying things nobody cares about” loooool.

By contrast, your head is totally devoid of rational thinking, and your content seems to be centered mostly around yourself. Typical leftist narcissism. You think it’s normal just because you absorb examples of other narcissists doing it.

“Screaming into the void” is a weird characterization. Dunno what you even imply by that. Of course I’m anonymous online. You should be too (and you basically are, but you’re half-assing it). There’s no purpose in making a conversation about thoughts and ideas somehow about myself.

I’ve seen plenty of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate on here (do you ignore “hate” if you’re “hating the right people”?). I haven’t really seen anti-constitutional rhetoric or genuine Nazi salutes promoted on any social media site.

Except: 1. It’s not actually “the good of the whole” at all. 2. There’s nothing inherently virtuous about Bluesky. It’s VC-funded and you’re just in the early honeymoon phase of growth-seeking startups. 3. Bluesky’s activity has declined since its peak. Arguably it’s dying.

What’s a little ironic for someone talking about “taking things out of context” is that those images were a response to this meme that was widely circulating at the time — it made no mention of any sort of temporal gesture. Just an arm angle, and that’s it. “Moving the goalposts”.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
Wait, are you actually pinning your defense on the hope that there’s no video of a similar gesture? Lol, you’re gonna be so disappointed. I’ll let you double down on this for a little bit though before sharing, in order to maximize the shame you feel when you see you’re proven wrong.

I commonly hear this false premise within leftist echo chambers. He was in Canada under his mother’s citizenship, studied in the US with a student visa, and then worked via an H1B visa before becoming a citizen. This isn’t a matter of preferential treatment — It’s a matter of factual inaccuracy.

“Not having the right papers” lmaooo. What a dismissive way to say that they entered and remain in the country illegally. Substituting “undocumented” as a euphemism for “illegal” glosses over the substance of the issue.

The reason the “trailer park stereotype” is useful as a basis for comparison is that it conjures imagery of people who are “slightly dull” but who generally have the cognitive ability to handle most of the issues that come up in everyday life without too much outside assistance.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
Not really worth discussing this tangent further since: 1. You received sufficient evidence to refute your insinuation, and (most importantly), 2. The dispute is not essential the discussion. It’s only meant as a barometer for reference for those of us who have lived in trailer parks.

Dunno what you mean by “if science happened to it”. It’s not even clear that YOU even know what you mean. As for the correlation between SES and IQ? That’s well-understood. I assume this is what you mean by “science happening to it”: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Trump’s IQ is probably low-mid 90s. He’s definitely not a genius — luckily he’s in a role where he delegates a lot of work and therefore doesn’t need to be one. I’ve had a lot of people take tests — you might be surprised. “Stereotypical simple trailer park redneck” type is usually around low 90s.
Libertarian Tech Lead (@iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social) reply parent
People who are vaguely familiar with the IQ scale regularly claim that they’re 150+ (despite this being exceptionally rare, e.g. 46 per 100,000). And they regularly underestimate others’ IQ (75 is a bottom 5% score and requires more assistance than people assume).

And yet that’s what most of Bluesky is — People reposting bullshit because they like what it says (e.g. claiming Elon did a “Nazi salute” lmao). It’s just a far-left mirror of Truth Social, really. W/R/T OP — It’s funny how people talk about IQ constantly but have poor calibration for it.

Unfortunately, Tumblr is a cesspool of people with a peculiar set of characteristics: * Good at writing. * Bad at thinking. This combination is at high risk of spreading misinformation, especially to people who are biased to “want to believe” whatever had been written.

“Tolerance” is absolutely NOT a “social contract”. The pseudo-intellectual Tumblr meme that claims that it is? It’s counterfacutal. Unlike a moral stance, a social contract needs to have specific terms understood by all parties. This is why “laws” are social contracts, but “ideals” are not.

It’s so funny to see misinformation like this spread. The hypocrisy of people calling themselves “tolerant” while behaving otherwise. The “paradox of intolerance” is called a “paradox” because it cannot be resolved. The only takeaway is that “tolerance” can’t exist universally.
