the Nordic states are much more successful per capita and have things like basic human rights

Look up some Ernst Thalmann quotes.

feel free to provide them.

I don’t mind communists, just tankies.

Well I don’t like social democrats at all because they’re always contriving new lies and smears to divert attention from their awful pro-capitalist politics.

“literally” lmao - spoiler they didn’t

The SPD endorsed the ‘lesser evil’ conservative candidate who went on to hand over power to Hitler.

They also killed a ton of communists, all of the above is probably why you have a soft spot for them

the social Democrats enabled fascism the whole way; they literally had right wing paramilitaries kill their left wing opposition.

you clearly would rather be goose stepping

Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it’s more passing and related to hormones.

Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don’t have to drive as much was a big help.

I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don’t, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don’t always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren’t.

I don’t spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

I do smoke a lot of weed, but it’s because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.
