I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

      The observation you’ve made about the age of my account and the focus of my comments is quite astute. However, it’s essential to recognize the inherent nature of online platforms where every account has its beginning. At some point, even your account, ‘TheAnonymouseJoker,’ was newly created, and your initial comments, presumably, were directed towards specific discussions or individuals.

      This early focus does not inherently imply ill intent or duplicity, just as it didn’t in your case. To suggest otherwise might reflect a double standard, where one’s own historical actions are exempt from the judgment being applied to others. It’s a common psychological defense mechanism to project one’s behavior or motivations onto others, especially when facing scrutiny or criticism.

      Moreover, focusing on the age of my account and directing attention to it can be seen as a tactical deflection from the primary topic of our discussion. It’s an intriguing example of shifting the narrative to avoid addressing the substantive issues at hand, possibly indicative of a discomfort with the content of the conversation or an attempt to distract from one’s own character traits that might be under examination.

      In a broader academic sense, this is an interesting demonstration of psychological operations - a strategic move to influence or alter the perception of the discussion. Your capabilities in this regard seem more aligned with the aspirations of an amateur hobbyist, perhaps daydreaming about professional-level risk management engagements. It’s a scenario more befitting a red team exercise in theory rather than in practice, suggesting a gap between ambition and actual skill. But let’s remember, the key to any meaningful and productive dialogue is to stick to the topic and engage with the arguments presented, rather than veering off into personal attributions or conjectures about motivations. Shall we redirect our focus back to the central issue?

      TheAnonymouseJoker, you seem to exhibit a significant emotional trigger, leading to a deviation from the topic at hand. The extensive narrative and the ensuing accusations against various individuals indicate a tendency towards off-topic drifting, a common behavioral response observed in individuals under psychological stress. This kind of verbose divergence from the central discussion is often seen as a form of gaslighting, where the intention is to shift the focus and disorient the conversation.

      Moreover, the language used, particularly the phrase ‘If you used 2 brain cells,’ towards @Kecessa@sh.itjust.works comment, is an evident sign of emotional reactivity coupled with a defensive posture. Such reactions are not uncommon in individuals exhibiting traits associated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), where there is a tendency to deflect and insult when feeling threatened or criticized. It’s an instinctive mechanism to protect one’s self-image and divert attention from personal vulnerabilities or accountability.

      Let’s try to steer this back on track. Diving into these off-topic narratives, while it might feel instinctual to you, really muddies the waters of our actual discussion. It’s an interesting pattern, and addressing it could be a constructive step in your own personal development. Focusing on the topic at hand is not just about keeping this conversation productive; it’s also a kind of exercise, isn’t it? A way to practice self-awareness and control in how you engage. So, how about we stick to the relevant points? It’ll be more effective for our dialogue and, who knows, it might even be a good habit for you to develop.
