It just mentioned him vaguely positively, but I feel like the implication is there.
I just despair that when given limited space to convey your personality to a potential romantic partner, someone talked about their favorite rich himbo clout-chasing socialist. As I said, it made me put my phone down for a while.

Obviously they can put whatever they want in their profile and still get infinite engagement.

I find Hasan's brand repellent and emblematic of the current era of internet fame; Of course the top political streamer on Twitch is a handsome rich vapid LA socialite
I had the misfortune to be swiping the other week and among the endless "You better also be an anti-capitalist queer ally Free Palestine LGBTQTQBLG! or else" Profiles was one that went a step further by raving about how dreamy Hasan Piker is. This made me put down my phone for a while. In what universe is talking about your favorite e-boy a good look?

Why is it considered mandatory to moralize about a cause they only found out about last week on a date? I'm not interested in talking to brainworms. Or in being verbally bludgeoned with emotionally-loaded words.
I don't want to hear about Jesus either.

AoC is very much a wokescold.

I occasionally wonder what exactly Team Blue could ever do to entice me to vote for them in a national election
Get a biological woman to go on a date with me with a positive, collaborative attitude and not talk about Gaza.

I still don't understand this past-tense attitude, but in the wild I mostly see young women socializing around gay men and trannies if they're interacting with anyone other than another young woman.

The compassion is typically abstract and superficial.

The populists ARE the wokescolds. Most of the politically active base of the democrats loathe them for being neo-liberal/not-socialists.
I might be in a horrible filter bubble, but I encounter obnoxious leftists IRL several times a week and they seem pretty "popular"

Talk is cheap. I've seen way more performative fear of men from frumpy women than hot women.

Why would any of them want to be around young politically-active democrats? They'll have to grin through a bunch of "straight white men, amirite?" Comments, every conversation about media will inevitably turn into how queer something is or how problematic it is for being from the wrong era. They'll be asked their pronouns as a social formality. All the women who don't have dicks will be they/thems in an open demi-asexual polycule, and while walking to wherever it is they're volunteering, the female volunteers will notice that a man is walking in the same direction as them and be performatively afraid. And whatever they're volunteering for, it'll be to do with People of Color somehow.
I don't see the appeal. Leftist Activism is a subculture/social scene larping as a political movement, full of utterly insufferable people.

Very structurally competent, but not as good as episode 2, better than episode 1. They leaned into the "little boys" characterization to the point where it feels like South Park.

I want it to be a good and useful personal assistant; that means not being obtrusive or people-pleasing or fishing for further engagement or trying to be my friend, but having just enough volition to occasionally nag me about stuff I should be doing.

I've never run into that, but I live in the major-metro Midwest, am white, and the most unpleasant I get with cops is woe-is-me snark.

You're leaving out the part where the person getting the speeding ticket actually was speeding. It's not knuckling under and being a cuck to admit that yeah going 50 in a 25 zone probably wasnt kosher, my bad.

I don't know how it went in your country, but in the USA, Lockdown measures continued in some places for a LONG time, even after the vaccines were widely available. I personally felt like the goalposts had been moved; all the pro-lockdown people around me had said they wouldn't stop demanding lockdowns until there was a vaccine; a vaccine became available, and the pro-lockdown people continued to be pro-lockdown and said they wouldn't stop until the vaccines were mandatory with 100% compliance, also we need vaccine boosters every X months for the new variant. They also didn't think that anyone gained any natural immunity from having gotten covid, even though that's exactly how the vaccines they were waiting for work, by giving you the benefits of natural immunity without you having to get sick first, because it turns out that the people who Believe The Science don't actually know the fucking science; they were expecting a 100% effective vaccine when even our yearly flu shots are only 70% effective. Masking and Taking Covid Seriously became a leftist cause because they saw a conservative not wearing a mask and hand to triple down on doing the opposite, until of course there was street protesting to be done.
They kept on looking for excuses to keep being afraid. I will neither forgive nor forget that those people trapped me inside, stopped me from dating, stopped me from engaging in my hobbies, stole three(+) years of my life, and when one of them who had been my friend threatened me with vague promises that one day soon I'd be a minority and get my comeuppance, called me a White Supremacist, then betrayed me and his other roommates, emotionally abused his girlfriend and tried holder her hostage, and attacked me with an axe, and suffered NO loss of reputation among his Leftist friends, because he was a Queer Marxist of Color and therefore could do no wrong.
I still see young-ish mask-wearing leftists every. single. day.
The MAGA conservatives in the US chase votes and approval by dunking on the left. The bases of both parties have been radicalized by a decade plus of propaganda that makes them think of the other side as an existential threat to the future; MAGA doesn't have to be consistent or effective on policy, it just needs to give the impression that it's fighting Wokeness, and Woke made a lot of enemies.

Rather in the same way that a cop killing an innocent person is more outrageous than rando killing someone; the cop is supposed to protect people, and is empowered by the state to do so. I have high standards for the medical and scientific establishment and find it particularly perverse and outrageous when they cave to/follow political pressure. I have very low standards for a populist movement of anti-vaxxers and fox news youtube clip viewers led by Orange Man.

Whenever I envision public transit (based on my experiences on the Blue Line in chicago), there's always one hobo taking up two+ seats because he's sleeping/living there; the homeless person is often black, but somehow no one hassles them for breaking any rules. So slightly funny that Karen picked a fight with someone she had a chance of shaming.

It's cute, but also something of a virtue-signal; Christians will get a huge stiffie over it, and she can rely on others to take her "vengeance" for her (not that she necessarily wants it).

The best compromise I’ve seen people use is to look to both sides’ leaders, and see what they’re condoning and possibly whether they’re getting lots of pushback.
Elected officials or "Influencers?"
Leftists are an interpersonal social hazard despite not having any elected politicians apart from AoC.
It never stops showing me queer leftists with BLM ACAB in their "Lets make sure we're on the same page about."
I fucking HATE Hinge prompts and the tone they enforce.
