back to being the commie in this thread, Steph's leftism is always a laugh for me because it's so aimless and unmoored. she just says what she thinks she's supposed to say. she's an anarchist who's voting early? the whole twee thing about "pumpkins and my birthday
then tearing down fascism
" reads like utter parody. there are groups - liberal and leftist, plus LGBT, etc., - in her area she could lend her voice and (unlimited!) time to, but she doesn't, because it's just posturing. she doesn't ever actually want to assert any effort or risk any possibility of failure. that's her thing. she cannot take it when she's given feedback of any kind - it's
always a meltdown. the cripplepunk thing actually demonstrates this perfectly. someone was like "hey im not sure you're using this term right" and she went on a nearly week-long freakout about how people were gaslighting her that she wasn't disabled. so she'll never get a job, or be a social worker, or be an organizer, or make decent art, or maintain a decent garden, or do
anything that aligns with her alleged principles, let alone anything useful, because doing useful things that align even incidentally with her scattershot ideology
require effort, and more importantly, they require collaboration, and being willing to listen to and incorporate feedback instead of melting down and insisting that she's right and/or the critique is oppressive and abusive.
