I do not because putting that I'm trans has basically the same effect. Idk it's easy to filter out the extreme chuds, but obnoxious libs are harder to avoid.

The idea of a dating profile is giving me anxiety

Yes. I have in my profiles: "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs, and let me tell you darling, my abilities can fill a lot of needs."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

I'm not dating but when I did I would put everything in it that might make people disinterested. I don't want to pretend I'm not a communist (or that I'm a cool person who likes to go to music festivals and big parties, or that I'm not into Star Trek out MtG). Just be totally honest about yourself so the people who reach out to you are reaching out to you and not a person that it will make you anxious to pretend to be.

That being said I was never looking to just hook up, but to find a partner for an LTR. If you just want to fuck the calculus is probably different.

When I did try my hand at online dating I mentioned it, yeah. I figure I probably can't handle dating someone who wouldn't be willing to date a communist. It's just a filter that would've been hit eventually anyway. It's not like I hide my political views. I just ranted about palestine to a new coworker the other day lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

i only use them occasionally for hookups, but yeah i do
filters out the chuds

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I put "Leftist, BLM, Bipolar" in mine. They're gonna find out eventually, why not screen your calls?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, as well as my height and weight. They form my tri-fected chud filter.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

The amount of people that require someone be 6+ inches taller than them is too damn high. Anyone that has that shit is an instant no

I wouldnt oppose being called a communist but im still figuring things out. Im also cool with Anarchism and find that pretty interesting. I just would feel a bit like a poser if I called myself a communist considering my knowledge of communism (theory) is pretty surface level and I dont really do much praxis. shrug-outta-hecks

lumpens rise up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I don't call myself socialest because I think there are plenty of comrades who are socialer than I am, I'm pretty social tho

I don't have a dating profile I'm forever alone

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I do. And it's because I want people to know I'm a communist. Why waste time with anyone who's gonna have problem with that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I have the words "Es geht durch die Welt ein Geflüster. Arbeiter, hörst du es nicht?" But I use the color tool to make the text the same color as the background so you have to highlight it to see.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not really, but then again I don't identify as a communist.

I have exactly one political opinion: Only dogs should have the vote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Filthy revisionist, only cats are supposed to have the right to vote!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Actually giving cats the vote can wreak havoc on the local wildlife.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Comrades! You are both wrong, the only living creature that should have the right to vote is of course, stingrays. What the fuck else are they here on earth for?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

No, because people have very inconsistent views of what 'communist' means. It's not that I'm not proud of it, just that people are liable to not understand when just reading text. Any commie that viewed my profile would probably work it out from other statements anyway.
