I’m not really sure why, maybe this concept is overloading my weakbaby social capabilities. But looking at a circular owl profile pic shitposting loudly, or a username venting about something in main, and making the connection that those words were said by an entire human being with a life of their own hundreds or thousands of miles away is just sort of short circuiting my brain. Obviously I have intellectually, logically known that you’re all people, because you say things, but actually conceptualising it…

That is a huge amount of person by volume for such a little bear website.

It’s tough to visualise, like even for a small hexagonal bear post, if every profile pic and username is an actual person, (THEY ARE) then there are more of them than could comfortably fit in my living room. That many entire real people, in one place, badposting. Being gay(and more), saying ‘Death to Amerikkka’, sharing heartfelt support for people and movements, yeah that’s too many people, this is definitely short circuiting my brain.

May update when I figure out how to make my grey matter stop having a panic attack.

    Hehe yeah, totally, we’re all real. 8/9ths of this site definitely isn’t just me on various accounts trying to radicalise you, so I can finally catch a terrist/making you spend time here instead of hexxbear.chat, the real website where all the leftists actually are.

    Edit: seriously though thank you, I forwarded this post to my boss and he’s giving me a raise for doing such good work.

      I have reflected before that feds have both succeeded and failed with me: I have become a hardcore leftist with Death to America views, but also I am so unbearably autistic and bad at talking that I’d never manage anything like useful organising or any sort of praxis. Feds have created the most inept, useless leftist in history.

      Also I demand a battle between all of the “haha me n my alts” people here, to see who’s the REAL user. Very good bit, nice psyop.

        all of the “haha me n my alts” people here.

        Well of course I know them, they’re me 😉

        but also I am so unbearably autistic and bad at talking that I’d never manage anything like useful organising or any sort of praxis.

        I want to write something longer, but I don’t have the brain for it right now, so just know I hope you know I am being sincere: You can definitely do good praxis and be useful. Talking to people is hard, but there are things you are good at, that can definitely be helpful.

            Well I mean I can just look thru your file…
            Says right here, let me see…
            “Can do good and useful things and is actually a good and lovely human being”
            There you go! If the FBI says it, it can’t be a lie
