NothingButACommodity [it/its]
you’re just scrambling for excuses for why you shouldn’t become one of us. but you’re wrong. let us in. let us in to your heart. if you’re not vegan and you’re resisting linux… your communism is sus. (this is only partly joking. really, you should go vegan and it really is better to use linux). Let us in.
Did anyone else’s hexbear “theme” just break? I’ve got no color.
Thank you. I’m not sure what else to say but thanks. I feel in my bones that everything you said is true, correct. I know there really is, like you said, more joy out there to be had. But I have been in many ways, including declining physical health, just cut off from it. There are walls and fences that have to be climbed to even have hope of reaching that fleeting joy, and for some people, they just don’t have the energy or ability to climb them anymore. Certainly not without the help of friends and community irl.
Sorry, I just now saw this. No, I don’ t think I spoke with you before, but I could be wrong. My memory is pretty fucked up these days, and I do use different accounts to post a rare comment here and there. I’ve seen other people post similar things too (which is part of the reason I don’t feel so alone here on hexbear), so it maybe wasn’t me but someone else in a bad place? If it was me you spoke to, I apologize that I don’t remember. Whatever the case, thank you. Your compassion is appreciated, and it’s the people like you who make this place the only place on the internet, the only “social media” I ever actually feel comfortable enough to speak to others on.
I’d also like to say that I don’t want you or anyone else here to feel any kind of obligation to convince me (or others who are probably on their way out) of a brighter future. Again, it is appreciated, truly it is. But my despair is the fault of my own failures in life, and much more so the fault of this fucked up capitalist machine, this juggernaut that dehumanizes and alienates everyone. I know (or at least I’d like to think) that I am as you say, deserving of love and compassion, deserving of a brighter future. But many of us are simply just cut off from that, whether we deserve it or not. A little bit of solidarity and kindness, and even just friendly interaction from a stranger on the internet does help with how alone I (and presumably others) feel though, so again… thank you.
I hear you and I thank you for the advice. Also good luck with your own moving and finding decent work in Amerikkka and/or Latam, however that ends up working out. I’m a drug addict NEET, so prospects aren’t great for me going anywhere. Doesn’t mean I’m not grateful to people here being kind and offering ideas.
I’d love to. But I feel like if that were possible, lots of people would be headed there. From what I know (not much), it’s not easy to get to Cuba, let alone secure citizenship. Without any money or skills especially. If I’m wrong about that, then yes, let me please go live in Cuba.
Where all the hexbears live?? :matt-jokerfied: That would be nice, but nah, I don’t think it works like that. I actually live in what’s supposed to be a “progressive” area, but that just means rich people here are making it impossible for poor people to get by. I don’t have the financial, mental, or emotional means to go anywhere unfortunately.
