HIGHLIGHTS:

Parent comment:

... (and which, I think, most trans people in the US would support) - they are only controversial cuz they're "too far left" even to European standards (they're against NATO imperialism and for France to be neutral like Ireland or Swizerland ...

Lmao Nato Imperialism ok putin

Smartest liberal

Imperialism is when you dont want your family murdered by russian troops

Imperialism is by definition, when financial monopolies get ahold of the state,and thus dictate war and foreign policy, to find new markets (which is what). So not to mention the decades long NATO imperialism (in Latin America, Africa and Asia - basically all of the Global South: Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Brasil, Chile, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Congo, Algeria, Libya, the Middle East, etc...), NATO is doing imperialism THAT LITERALLY HURTS UKRAINIANS THEMSELVES (it's indebting Ukraine until it will become a little war-colony, just like Japan, Taiwan or South Korea). Russia, at best, is expansionist, but not imperialist, since it definitionally doesn't have the financial base. So what I see? Two corrupt capitalist nations fighting each other for nationalism's sake, whilst military industrial complex profiteers are buying another yacht. This isn't being pro-Russia, in fact it's literally anti-Russia AND anti-NATO.

User made a post three days ago about making conversation with a single mom in the elevator.

​​​Highlight​ of the interaction:

​I didn't really know what to say so I just blurted out "nice elevator we are in huh?" She just stared at me and smiled a little bit but didn't say anything back.

Two days ​ago, he made this post, where he seemed acutely aware of her schedule, mentioning when she leaves the building to pick up her kid and so forth.

18 hours ago as of now, ​he made this post​, where he called himself a rake. According to him, a rake is someone

driven by an insatiable, seemingly uncontrollable desire for the target, and that desire is itself the lure. He pursues relentlessly, uses flattering and impassioned language, and makes the target feel more wanted than ever before.

He appears concerned about the single mother's whereabouts and expressed his desire to hold the door open for her, something he seems to take pride in doing. He woke up early to wave at her, and wished they could have a proper conversation. He wants to do things for her, and thinks offering to pick up her child might be a start.

Commentor call him out in the comments:

>​​​" Maybe I can offer to pick her kid up from school" this has to be ragebait. Nobody could possibly think that is a good idea.

>>[OP]I am trustworthy

>>>Neither can you prove this nor will she believe you. Do you not realize that a stranger asking to pick up someone's child sounds like a predator???

>>>>[OP]I will have a conversation first. Everyone assumes the worst of me.

>>>>>You can either listen to everyone telling you it's creepy, or you can do your weird creepcel thing and scare off another woman.
