because as far as you were concerned, everyone is in the same tribe as you
I definitely don’t think that way. I’m aware that I am different from other people.
Reposting from my other comment:
Well I had the luxury of dating a psychologist who specializes in diagnoses and her brother is autistic - so she is very aware of autism and how it works and what it looks like in different people.
She confirmed I’m not autistic and thought it was hilarious that anyone would assume that about me. She’s known me for years and she has experience in that field. She knows better than just randoms at a meet up group would.

When I told her that random autistic girls from my comm were making this assumption she gave me the biggest eye roll and a laugh. Because duh, I’m not autistic.
Right? Like the person who was insisting he was always bald due to some weird blind hatred. Like the guy use to just be a dumb stand up comedian/actor. As far as I remember he wasn’t outspoken in the 90’s like he is now.
It did totally feel like a troll.
Exactly but I’ve been crucified in conversation for bringing the show up because he was on there.
what is ASAB in this context?
god that sucks to hear.
I’m alarmed at the amount of people I met, mostly women, who are like upset when I tell them I’m not autistic. It’s like they want me to be or something. They insisted I needed to get tested to be sure.
Like what is with these people wanting this to be common and wanting to get people join in like its a club? It’s a genetic trait. You either have it or you don’t I thought.
I am legit trying to figure out why the apologists aren’t getting banned
You know, I would like to know this too. I sure as hell don’t want to interact with those people.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.
this is what I’ve been going by cause I had to look it up as no one can be confirmed to give a straight forward answer on here that I’ve seen.
Never seen terms like “tankie” until I came here
I mentioned this once and then someone became super unhinged at me.
I mentioned that someone became super unhinged at me and that person seemed okay at first but then started talking down to me about politics in general.
It’s fucking weird here sometimes and I couldn’t be further removed from anything “tankie” related but random lemmy users will still screech it at me.
Talked to some knob the other day who was talking about ruling his small business with, and I quote “an iron fist”
Thankfully that’s not a common interaction but I do notice more hostile folks recently.
I actually keep seeing other repost bots show up
Me too. I was bummed because I had already blocked one and then another one popped up. For places I was already subscribed to that didn’t seem to be bot posts before.
My week just started cause I work Mon-Fri and I’m super nervous for tomorrow cause I have a project I have to do with someone I am not use to working with.
I’m gonna go get an edible after work though and hopefully I run into my crush.
Yes but those are both fattening. what’s the point in eating healthy food if you’re just gonna dump fat all over it?
Newsradio was a fantastic show. You think it was filled with bad acting? How much of it did you watch?
Remember that fucking jackass, Ben Shapiro that he had on all the time?
I think it was Tony Hitchcliff who’s a stand up who was on Rogans show fucking begging him to not have stupid ass Shapiro on anymore and Rogan kept defending the guy and Tony was just like, dude… that guy is a fucking dork who makes you look bad. Stop having him on.
Honestly one of the funniest interactions I heard on the podcast where his actual friend is begging him to stop this nonsense and he just won’t do it.
You know, I once tried to explain to someone on reddit that Joe Rogan wasn’t always bald and there is evidence of this when he was on Newsradio and he had a full head of hair back then.
Idiot on reddit just kept arguing that he was always bald and didn’t even care that video evidence was being posted because it was more important to hate Rogan than to accept factual evidence of something so incredibly minimal on the scale of things.
Like why would it be important if he was bald or not? And why would hating him be more important than something being a fact?
Anyway, I asked cause I love Newsradio but often can’t talk about it because people will either figure out that Joe Rogan was on there, or they already know and then think I’m a psychotic alt right idiot.
All because I watch a show that existed before that guy was ever doing a podcast.
I thought this was going to be more of polling post.
Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven’t gone back for anything since then. It’s rough too cause now there’s no connection to the local groups here.
I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that’s not how lemmy works.
