And I use “normal” in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the “weirdest” people I’ve met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you’d peg as “normal”? Well I’ve had my fair share of shit with them. I’m not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

    I remember during the world cup there were quite a few posts on there about how if you root against the US and were American you were a freak weirdo who doesn’t understand how to be normal in person. Bro’s couldn’t imagine me wanting to talk shit about the US in a supposed socialist/communist subreddit.

    Like yeah man I’m going up to my friends irl who are cheering for team USA and going “erm you’re actually a bad person and should kill yourself” and not just going “oh I don’t care for soccer that much” 🙄

      The majority of people in the US don’t care about the World Cup, and the majority of people in the US who cared about the World Cup weren’t rooting for the US lmao. People who root for the US are the real freaks of nature.

      Anyone who asked i said I’m rooting against US (I’m American) and people got it, idk what that sub could be thinking.

      I know I’m in weird circles though because between the WC and the Olympics I’m still weirded out by non-Chuds cheering for the US because I’m just like what world/country are you living in, i know you’re pissed and almost everything that sucks about today was American Made, give it up
