When people post comments like yours or memes like the above it really comes off as defending capitalism and the status quo...

    Don't you understand how mypoic a view that it? How dependent it is on you thinking you have an absolute lockdown on ALL ideas there can be, and that anyone who isn't you is against you? Only a fool would think that everything is split in perfect dualism and that you're the only one that's right.

    It's basically the same thing I see from super evangelical family members. If it's not something they like, it's "from Satan." Is that really a behavior you're trying to emulate? That level of absolutism and rigidity of thought?

    FFS, both Lenin and Marx warned you about the dangers of rigid thinking. And here you are, doing exactly that! You're not even a good Marxist!

    You're taking everything to absurd extremes and assuming I'm something that's convenient for your weak argument. People posting memes like this are pushing for the lockdown of ideas.

    Speaking of taking it to extremes, y'all (or maybe 1 person with 5 accounts, it's hard to tell) so far in this thread people have reacted to saying "yeah, they're annoying about how they interact with other people" as: trying to put ideas on lockdown, wanting to silence anyone "left of me," that I'm actively supporting all existing political structures and capitalism, and then a ton of personal attacks. Because I explained the joke to someone else.

    I especially loved that my "hopes are also profoundly stupid." Ah yes, a response that is classy, high-brow, and I'm fairly sure it's a direct quote from Lenin at the Zimmerwald Conference (since I have to tell you all, apparently, that was sarcasm).

    Seriously, look around here. Y'all are not fun to talk to in general about anything because of this right here. And when someone says it out loud, you happily confirm you're not fun to talk to and do the thing that the meme is about.

    This isn't about your ideas, it's about how abrasive and annoying you are to interact with. Look at how many times I've had to repeat that, and every time you all immediately jump to "yOu'Re sIlEnCiNg iDeAs!" No, y'all are bad at human-to-human interaction. Without enough self-reflection to even pause and see that's what was happening from the start.
