Thanks for this, Leftcoms really frustrate me with their desire to see colour revolutions in socialist states, all because socialism in the real world isn't at all like their hypothetical perfect idealistic socialism, and they somehow think that a country under constant threat from external capital should wage a massive civil war, because that will somehow make things better, not worse, for the people there.
They frustrate me too, but I struggle to ascribe direct political importance to this case* because they clearly were poorly socialized in navigating their ASD (I am not saying this casually), producing serious social-cognitive difficulties, and are also almost certainly a minor. We can speak of their nonsense as a symptom of this awful leftcom trend, but I view them much more as just a victim of a society only even marginally concerned with socializing allistic people, among other relevant problems.
Frankly, I think addressing this accepting the ultimately false framing that this was a political dispute rather than a mundane social difficulty was a mistake on my part, but I'm glad you got something out of it, so it wasn't a total waste.
This is the second time this month I've encountered a case like this, though Dylan was much more polite about it than the other one, who was coping by being a complete asshole.
*in terms of leftcom political analysis or whatever. Obviously I go on to talk about different political significance.
Yeah, I was speaking about my frustrations with leftcoms in general, not this specific person. I tried to avoid engaging with them because I would've just gotten rude and snarky with them and it wouldn't have helped anyone. I'm still not 100% convinced they weren't just an elaborate troll though, but benefit of the doubt is important, and they weren't really hostile like a troll would be.
