British ales or cheap larger.

>>15630237
IPAs are pretty gross, I mean it doesn’t even matter after the first sip who cares

>>15630237
Depends on the venue, the occasion, and the weather/location

>>15630237
Blue Ribbon and High Life

>>15630237
Vodka

>I just drink to get drunk lol!
Yes.

>>15630237
Abbey ales or sometimes just a standard (British) ale. I'd love to get more stouts/porters but ofc the only thing anyone sells is fucking guinness.
IPAs are pretty bad man. I'll get 'em sometimes for variety but...

Any local lagers/lite lagers lately.

>>15630278
thats really sad anon

>>15630278
Can't relate. If I wanted to drink to get drunk I wouldn't be drinking fucking beer. It takes forever and it just makes me sleepy. Drink to get drunk = knock off Gordon's gin from Aldi mixed with ribena.
>>15630305
Bruh I know covid's been bad but have you forgotten what a party is

>>15630237
IPAs suck because they taste like soap, but replacing them with sugary candy drinks isn't the answer either. But don't talk shit on 4loko. That's some get the party started shit right there.

I buy depending on what I need the booze for. Cheap party with beer pong where someone's going to tear through whatever I bring? Miller lite. Sitting at home and relaxing after work? Dos Equis. A nice holiday party or something? Some craft beers and fun things to try.

>>15630308
The gas station down the street sells 42 oz Steel Reserves for $1.59, meaning that I can get drunk for $4.77 plus tax. That equals 10.206 fluid ounces of 100% alcohol which is plenty enough to kill the pain for another night.

>>15630237

>>15630237
Porters and stouts. IPAs are fucking disgusting, by the way.

>>15630254
nigga spittin

>>15630278
whatchu know bout that?

this because i'm not white trash or gay

>>15630421
>tfw it's not sold in my state

Anyone else tried saison ales? Mmm mm. If i wasn’t quitting drinking I’d buy one right now

White trash beer for the most parts and maybe a couple of hipster beers to enjoy.

>>15630421
This, based and eaglepilled.

>>15630237
>How do we get beer to survive the trip to India from Britain inside a wooden barrel?
>No refrigeration and it takes a few months via sailing ship.
>IPA invented.
>Not as good as other beer, but hey, it survives the passage and you take what you can get.

Imagine anyone drinking a type of beer today that was invented more than two hundred years ago to overcome significant problems, even then not considered to be as good as other beers.

>>15630421
But that makes you white trash
>>15630448
I know this pain as well, when I was in Louisiana I drank 12 tall boys in one sitting because I wanted to get my fill.

>>15630237
Amber ales, red ales or lagers.

IPAs taste like soap swill. I don't understand the appeal of them.

>>15630349
Just buy a bottle of wine for £4 and drink it in one chug. It's about the speed, not just the quantity.

>>15630237
Stout or lager

>>15630421
I don't know what that is but it sure looks working class anon.
>>15630570
American style IPA doesn't really taste like og British IPA.

>>15630237
>if it's not my crazy chocolate and mango IPA from flaming eagle brewing company then it must be piss lager or alcopop!
Fuck off gimp, pubs were comfy before they started catering to manchildren cunts like you

ice style tall boys
cold read me

>>15630597
I'm sure it's probably better. It almost has to be.

>>15630570
It's not like the ipa could've evolved or anything

>>15630237

>Drinking literal poison

>>15630617
If you put a skirt on a pig, it's still a pig.

>>15630610
No they weren't, shut the fuck up you actual LARPer. Pubs were so shit that they had to make a list of the few pubs which weren't shit.

>>15630237
95% of IPAs garbage though. Drinking phytoestrogen loaded swill that tastes like pinecones and cat piss to mask the shitty brewing isn't impressive.
There are some truly good ones as well, but they're hard to find now.

For me, it's Pchlitg. The beer that made Milwaukee famous.

>>15630630
I've neither heard of the pchlitg nor of milwaukee.

>>15630638
It's Schlitz, goes good with Bangs root beer.
But how the fuck have you not heard of Milwaukee?

>>15630662
I mean, I've seen the word thrown around a couple of times, but I don't know if it's a city or a state or whatever.

>>15630588
I go through the three 42s of Steel in about a half hour.

>>15630665
I drink a bottle of wine in about five mins, but itd take me an hour to get through three whole pints of beer.

>>15630237
I drink anything and everything except absinthe, a few weird and disgusting liqueurs, and grappa. I've not met a beer I hated except bud light and bud light alikes.

I don't really drink beer much. Sours are definitely my favorite. Otherwise something generic like Coors Banquet (in the bottle, not the can) or Guinness if I'm feeling unusual vibes that night.

>>15630628
You sound like you're 18

>>15630237
I just drink liquor, typically rum or whiskey.

>>15630689
what d'you have against liquorice, mate
>>15630702
Oh I'm sorry, did you LIKE watney's and double diamond?

>>15630237

I want to go back to New Orleans for my birthday in August and do some brewery hopping. Last time I went, I managed to go to NOLA (which is the shit), Courtyard and across the lake to Abita. Hopefully all this Covid Bullshit is calmed down by then.'

>>15630664
It's a country in Canada

>>15630787
Fair. I was gonna say I wasn't sure if it was in the US or Canada either.

>>15630689
You're missing out. I don't like licorice, but absinthe gets you extra fucked up.
Budweiser can go fuck itself though, it's a hangover potion. I swear it's the rice.

>>15630816
just like drink water

>>15630766
Not him, but duck right off, reddit.

>>15630826
not him but what does reddit have to do with this

>>15630822
I drink tons of water, and I'm not alone in this. I have a boomer friend that drank it for years before he switched and has massive regrets for not doing it sooner.
It's headache elixir.

>>15630831
You being here.

>>15630237
Porters and stouts.

Sometimes lager or berliner weisse if I have guests or want a change.

>>15630836
Well, I'll take your word for it. I've never had it and don't plan on changing that.

>>15630863
Not even joking, but are you asian? Genuinely curious if this is a trend. Maybe I should buy a case of Bud and invite my half phillipino friends over.

>>15630879
>part of your board

I'm allergic to beer. I want to die.

It's really hard to find dry apple cider with very little sugar. I have to drive like 20 minutes, and it's pretty expensive.

>>15630237
What kind of soy boy made this? If an underage doesn't like beer it's probay a cheap one: ergo they snuck a sip of daddy's poors light and it was icky. Inexperienced drinkers don't understand differences in beer, the only people who have preferences in beer have experience and know what they like.
Objectively the "my beer is hoppier than thine" IPAs are absolutely grass water trash and belong down the drain. They are a waste of ingredients

>>15630891
Yeah, I love cider, but I avoid it because the sugar gives me hangovers.

>>15630237
Usually Dale's or Dogfish 60 min. I'll mix in some Natty Daddy when I'm going for a cheap, strong buzz.

>>15630918
how much fucking cider do you have to drink to get drunk
I don't understand you people, do you have stomachs the size of an actual cow

>>15630421
mah nigga

>>15630766
>nooooo dont insult muh trendy beers

>>15630308
>Have you forgotten what a party is?
Since covid Ive only been drinking more and alone now.

Homebrewer here. Adding a load of hops is how you disguise a detective brew.

>>15630955
Poor bastard. I managed to convince my flatmates to drink with me but then I fucked up with one of them so I'm drinking alone now too. I hope things go back to normal for both of us soon.

>>15630931
More than half of my calories come from alcohol. Step it up, liverlet.

>>15630958
That doesn't make it a good ipa

>>15630949
It's not about insulting trendy brews, it's about praising pure shit like watney's red barrel and double diamond. There's a reason CAMRA had to be set up. Praising the state of pubs a few decades ago (literally the era when flatroofs were getting built) shows you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about and you're just some millennial LARPer who wants to look different.

>>15630237
there's a local brewery that in my opinion is the best in the state, their flagship beers are IPAs but they release different stuff like lagers, pilsners, stouts and ESBs every so often and I tend to drink whatever they throw at me

i've been leaning more towards their uncommon releases, i'm a little pale ale'd out right now

>>15630421

>>15630978
A good starting point is to use Galaxy hops, which is more flavoursome than the Citra hops often used in APAs

I like IPAs. Sure, there are lots of bad ones, and a bad pilsner is better than a bad IPA, but luckily I know which ones are good, so I buy those. Usually I only drink a beer or two in a night, so I'm not as distressed by actual flavor as your average pabst drinker.
Dont get me wrong, a lot of the trends with IPAs are fucking dumb, and most of the good ones go back to the beginning of the craft beer thing (Sierra, pliny) before stone fucking ruined IPAs for everyone.

>IPA!!!!

>>15630421
I was in Pottsville before the pandemic sent the world to hell and I have to say that the closer to the source, standard Yuengling is extremely passable. Any other time it's fucking disgusting.

>>15630964
I broke up with my girlfriend before all of this too. Im not sure if I regret it even under the circumstances but the crippling loneliness is pretty shit. I wish I didnt live in a third world country like the USA so I could fucking do normal shit

>>15630995
As someone that dislikes most IPAs, galaxy hops were in some of the best ones a I tried. None of that cat piss pinecone taste, just notes of citrus and DUDE marijuana.

>>15631007
I had to go LDR with my gf because of covid. We lasted nine months but by then it was just too much for me. I really do love her, even now, but I just can't do it any more. She absolutely helped me get through the worst of it, though.
I can't believe a year later her country STILL won't let me enter, lmao. I had plans to visit her in the summer last year wtf. Ofc her third world country literally isn't in lockdown because even though they started covid they still handled it better than my country.

>>15631007
Someone gave you the wrong talking point memo.
We're all dying because we're coughing on each other for fun because we totally didn't lock down like everyone else. The economic my floundering is just because of bad orange man.

>believing the CCP and their puppet, the WHO
Dude, Chang, everyone knows at least a few million chinks died, even with them welding doors to apartments shut.

Literally nobody says ipas are gross other than women and strawmaning soy boys who want to feel masculine for CONSOOMING bitter thing. I bet they have a soy sauce collection to because they are so masculine and special for liking spicy and bitter stuff

>>15631038
Bruh my ex is literally an anti-CCP protestor who's in all these secret wechat groups n shit where they spread rumours about all the shit the CCP doesn't allow people to say openly and even she says that covid's pretty alright in China right now. The simple fact is they did solve it better than western europe and america.

>>15631066
Sours taste, well, sour. No thank you.

>>15631066
Sours are a practical joke being played by brewers on customers

>>15630237
It depends on the day but IPAs and tripels are usually at the top of my list

>>15630237

i like IPAs if it's not the fruitty ones, not my first choice tho

I remember thinking xkcd was cool in college, looking back it was pretty cringey. Also his free speech comic is arguably the most destructive comic on the internet as far as discourse is concerned. (2nd place does to that retarded Karl Popper comic.)

>>15630237

I usually go for a Schneiser Weisse or a Hacker Pschorr, failing that - Pilsner Urquell is nice.

I was enjoying Schneider Weisse during a business trip to Munich. The atmosphere was great and didn't seem overly touristy in the area I was in, however my pleasant afternoon was brought to a speedy end when I shit myself.

it was terrible

>>15630237
Ginger ales or lagers, it's hot here and I want something refreshing.

>>15631185
Are you me?

>>15630237
typically... these days, IPA's because the boss drinks them. Stouts, porters, and some Hacker Golds for my time at home.

>>15630237
I'll pay a premium for a four or six pack of craft but I just can't stand the ibu oneuppance craze. There are good IPAs out there, but the predominant culture is about as dumb and gay as the too-hot-to-eat hot sauce culture.
>anus scorcher!!!
>satan's cum!!!
no different than
>lupulin rush!!!
>tropical haze 4 dayze!!!

In the end people on the ibu oneuppance craze have burned out their tastebuds drinking stuff that is too bitter and no longer appreciate nuance of flavor. They've given well-made IPAs a terrible fucking name. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I've had enough dogshit IPAs to not want to try any new ones unless someone I trust recommends them. As for the IPA's I know are fine, they aren't good enough compared to the other beers I like, so I feel no need to buy em in the first place.
I'd rather be drinking wine, gin, or bourbon anyway

>>15631063
trannies will never be women and your god made trannies if he exists.

>>15630349
personally, I've been drinking since I was 18. 31 now and I can't do malt liquor or high gravity anymore, I get a whiff and I vomit. same with 4loko, jose, mad dragon, and md30/20.
been on 100ml bottles of 100 proof shit for 5 years now, 4 of those and a diet coke to chase, lost a lot of weight and my tolerance hasn't changed at all.

>>15630237
I enjoy cheap hefeweisse and pale lagers quite a bit lately, prefer lighter beers now.

Whatever Carlsberg is, love that shit. Tried an IPA, can't stand tropical fruit but still finished it. Wanna get back to Total Wine, Steam Anchor was fantastic.

>>15632875
Not any IPAs you've had that you really liked?
If you haven't tried them, I'd recommend a NEIPA from Heretic.
>Juicier Than Thou
>Make America Juicy Again
>Mandarin
>EZ Juice
>You Can't Handle the Juice
etc etc they have gay names like this but generally no-nonsense white packaging and are extremely accessible and tasty beers. The only IPA I'd ever go out of my way to get. They're out of California but I can get them basically anywhere here in Indiana.

Beer drinking will never be classy. Beer is for getting fucking hammered with the boys. If you drink beer for the flavor you are GAY.

>>15630237
I usually like to have only a few beers at once. Usually something like a saison, NEIPA and something dark.

If I'm with friends I'll pull out some wild ale, barley wine or imperial stout.

>>15630610
Juice springsteen smells like cat piss, i think it's the guava, fucking disgusting.

And I all love em beers

>>15633385
they both have their place depending on how poorfag or depressed you are. most of the time, liquor is quicker of course. but sometimes I'm not aiming to get thoroughly blasted with the least amount of ingestion. it can be fun to gradually get drunker with someone else, when my goal isn't to get sloppy so I sleep before work.

Last stuff I bought was Durham Evensong, Theakston's XB, North Yorkshire NYPA, Ram Tam,

>>15633411
So which do you think is the best??

>>15630237
IPAs are my favorite since they've got a lot of flavor, lots of variety, and are usually high alc, but I also like pilsners. I hate sours and I only get stouts when I see something high end, typically bourbon barrel aged.
I'm not a "session beer" guy so I go with quality over quantity, preferring to spend $12-14 on a good craft 4-pack. The rest of my needs are met by liquor and wine

>>15633435
Well the Evensong and NYPA are both bottled conditioned, they are real ales. Theakston's are the best in the buisness IMO in regards to their bottling in a non-real ale way, they don't pastureise and it's cold filtered and the XB is a lovely ruby ale. The Ram Tam is a great beer but much more mellow than the rest.

Evensong is the most intense, flavourful and yet subtle of them all. It's the best beer out of the 4, but the NYPA is delicious too. XB is a treat and so is Ram Tam but I can't really compare an English IPA to a ruby and say which is better taste wise, they're too different. But the NYPA is a real ale. Between the malty beers Evensong >>> XB > Ram Tam (aka Landlord Dark)

What was your last beer, anon?

Whatever pils is on sale.

>>15630237
I like wheat beers and juicy IPA's, but I've started getting into various whiskeys and I don't think I'd ever go back. Much more cost effective to drink a few oz of a good 50% abv bourbon than a whole 6 pack of beer for the same effect. juicy IPA's are fucking fire though I haven't had a bad one yet although you probably look like both a fag and a douche to most. Not that I give a fuck what anyone that would judge me in that manner thinks. Average IPA's are pretty bitter to me though not really a fan, I'd take a less-than-cold miller high life over one any day.

>>15633374
Only faggots drink rum.

>>15633820
>I've started getting into various whiskeys and I don't think I'd ever go back
I thought the same thing until I remembered how nice it is to drink a cold, refreshing beer compared to whiskey which is a more savoring experience. If your goal is getting completely fucked up though, beer quickly goes from refreshing to bloating
>fucking fire
Fucking zoomer

cant you find a better outlet for your mid life crisis than hating me on a Singaporean McDonald's discussion forum just for being younger, you old faggot?

Thats a good point though, especially after a hard work day a cold one does hit the spot. I've realized its usually because I'm dehydrated though so these days I opt for some ice cold bottled water so I can shit on future generations like yours did, until I've relaxed and then I pour up something strong and kick back with a book or hang out with you retards

>>15630237

Germanfag here
daily driver: Pilsener (Jever)
weekends: Picrel in any variation, most important is the well audible plopp for voice chat drinking with frens
feeling fancy: 1-2 IPAs for the evening, the more IBU the better, drinking more than 2 seems like wasted money
having visitors over: wide variety of local specialties in different styles so everyone can taste around a bit and maybe find a new favorite

Brands:
Jever, Störtebeker, anything bavarian usually does no wrong (the smaller the brewery the better) but notable are Hacker Pschorr, Augustiner, Weihenstephan.

style wise nearly everything, Pilsener, Export, recently found a liking for Kellerbier (reduced CO2-content for less of a blow up feeling and burping, not that anyone would care), Märzen, Helles, Hefeweisse. Anything that isn't sweet or malt-rich is nice.

>>15630570
that's how the Export style came to exists, slightly higher alcoholic content and some people like it. don't judge, faggot.

>>15630630
it's "Schlitz", burgerfriend.
meaning crease.

>I'm a beer drinker. No, I don't mean that I chug six-packs of lager, I mean I ACTUALLY savour the taste of beer. I drink for the malt. The hop. The flavour. The experience. You can have your tasteless lagers but i'll stick to my ales, thanks. No, not actual bitters that racists and gammon drink, but my craft IPA fruit-flavoured, hoptastic, awesomerino microbrewed ale!

>>15634273
Lagers do taste like mutts tho, get a good Pilsener going for god's sake. If that's too bitter for you, bavarian Helles or just straight up Weizen. Sweet Tooth? Go for malty stuff and blacks or porters.

Craft beers are cool but the faggots consooming them in most cases never did a good tasting beforehand or know what kind of flavor they look for in the first place. Resulting in picking by label. The absolute faggots.

>>15634273
Craft beer is pretty cancerous.

>>15630628
actual child. if i can get a cocktail or a peach lager from a sam smith's pub nowadays, then the tastelets are definitely being catered to. why talk out of your arse?

I only drink alcohol free beers because I geniunely enjoy the taste of beers but hate the feeling of getting drunk

>>15630237
Czech pils or ESBs if I have the money, other than that whatever plastic bottle "malt liquor" is cheapest and will get me drunk

What kind of macro-piss cider are you acquainted with?
Where I live, cider typically has an ABV of 10-15%.

>>15630237
beer threads on /ck/ are the worst and make me sad.

>>15631078
Stuff like Gose is alright, but the new fad of fruit sours and slapping Brett into everything is 100% breweries milking the hipsters.
I have a couple of friends who run breweries and the beers they brew for cash are generally IPAs, pale ales, stouts and sours, because that's what the majority of brewery visitors want to drink. Also one brewery made a lemon-lavender radler that became insanely popular, but that one is actually pretty good in the summer.
The beer they seem to brew as a labour of love and not to make money is generally styles like Belgian Abbey Ales, British Ales, and Barleywines.
Personally, my favourite styles are saisons, table beers, and farmhouse ales but it's hit and miss finding a brewery that actually does them well.
I remember having a wild yeast american ale 3 years ago from a brewery in Regina of all places that absolutely blew my mind.

>>15636181
Most in the us are 5%

>>15636181
lmao what the actual fuck, in the UK cider is 4%

>>15634421
I've not seen this gif in many, many, many years. Thanks anon.

>>15636215
iirc, isn't that because the liquor laws in the US restrict you from selling cider and beer at higher ABV or force you to pay higher tax to sell it or something?
Which forces producers to water everything down to 5% to protect the profit margin.
We have something similar here, where beer producers are taxed by the ABV, but a lot of breweries just brew high alcohol beers anyways and charge an extra 25c a can or whatever.
Doesn't seem like it affects cider though, as the 15% ciders are the exact same price as the 7%.

>>15636229
It depends what you get. I looked at Morrisons store brand cider recently and it was 5%. And I know that cloudier, more rustic ciders can be higher, like 6 or 7 % I think. Possibly higher than that too.

>>15634681
there's no point in paying the premium price for alcohol taste and to not get the alcohol. NA beer should be 50% cheaper than it's counter part.

>>15636364
The issue with NA beer is it takes one extra process that's fairly spendy to get the alcohol out. At least I believe that's the case

>>15636260
Scrumpy is 6 -7% usually

Fun Fact: Kolsch in German means something like malted drink for homosexuals from the town of Cologne.

>>15636799
Oh also in the middle ages small cocked men where forced into being bottom bitches. To better identify them in public they where only allowed to drink beer from tiny gay cups. Hence the use of tiny beer glasses for Kolsch today.

At that point it's just apple wine, no longer cider. 7% is the legal threshold in the US where "cider" starts being taxed and sold as wine.

I get a different beer every time I go to the liquor store.
I figure that way, even if I don't end up liking everything I get every time, I'll end up with more beers that I know I'll enjoy in the long run.

So far, I like pretty much everything except for Coffee/Chocolate IPAs. It's kinda putting a hat on a hat, you know?

>>15637011

I have no idea why all of the world of brewing's collective retardation has been funneled into IPAs.

>>15637026
Good point. I think it's because they have a higher alcohol content on average? But I'm not sure.

Also, fuck Natty light. Tastes like watered-down piss but only half as palatable.

>>15637048
I don't think that's necessarily true or they would have latched onto Belgians.
I think it's just because the type of snowflake faggots who latch onto IPA like that do it because they can gloat that other people "don't get" their beer taste like some kind of contrived pseudocondescension thing. It just snowballed out of control...

>>15637077
it might be a sort of "coffee snob" effect, where your taste is invalid unless you drink it black/cold/whatever they tell you is the "proper" way.
>oh fuck yeah dude its so HOPPY

>>15637099
Hops literally fry your taste buds. That's why the beers keep getting more and more unpalatably bitter, the dumb fucks who brew them can't taste anything more subtle.

Depends on what the store has at the time. Unfortunately my area's becoming increasingly shitty so the beer aisle at my favorite store got gutted for piss water and my selections are increasingly thin.

10-20 Miller Lites a day. Lots of EJ Apple, Titos, Jack Daniel's, Jameson, Chivas Regal and Cutty Sark

coors banquet is by far the best of the macros. miller high life comes second, not quite as good but cheaper and a little easier to find.

high life, modelo, coors or miller lite most days. if im feelin like spending more money then i like Stone's Buenaveza, Sol, Hangar 24's Orange Wheat, and Golden Road's Mango Cart. I'm more partial to mexican lagers, citrus, and wheat

IPAs are disgusting. Especially microbrew IPAs. They all taste like soap. My as well be drinking one of those awful "lite" beers.

I drink lagers and amber ales. Guinness extra stout is my tried and true, but Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is also good. Dogfish Head Pumpkin Ale in fall.

>>15638199

>>15638282

IPAs are a hipster cashgrab scam.
Even by IPA standards, most of the IPAs are absolute shit. The process is barely more involved than traditional macrobrew beers, the product uses bitterness to mask how shit it tastes, and the hipster retards put retarded prices on them because they know other hipster retards will buy them.

>>15638976
Hops aren't cheap... but yeah, most of it's a Veblen cash grab.

The only alcohol I drink is probably white or sparkling wine, and usually a glass here or there - maybe months inbetween.
I stopped drinking when I hit my 20s or so. Grew up, I guess.

>>15638976
Who cares if its not hard to make? I think a lot of them taste good and it seems like a huge amount of beer consumers agree.

I go for a Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams Boston lager, or Narraganset if I'm not drinking something local. I find a lot of the local sour stuff more cringe than anything else.

For me, it's the humble Trappist beer

You guys are weird. Hipsters have moved past IPA and now IPA is just normie tier. For hipsters we quickly had the barrel aged everything, the kettle sour, the gose, the triple fruited sour, the dessert stout etc. Hipster is always moving forward. All of you retards talking about simple to make and price fixing etc don't have a fucking clue. They aren't easy to make trust me. On the price fixing the cost of ingredients and production is generally higher and at a similar plant size everybody has a similar overhead for a similar volume so they cost about the same. Yes the market is oversaturated, but irrespective of your Z grade economic theory and love for the perfect market nobody will sell at or below the cost of production because stupid decisions aside they won't produce more than they can readily sell of any one variety at a time. I hold 6 times the lager stock over DIPA because I sell 6 times the volume over the same time period. Doesn't mean I'm tied to producing DIPA round the clock despite a lower overall demand. Also the margins are exactly the same. Cost of production, same, taxes, same, cost of packaging and distribution, same, the difference is there is fuck all in a lager so my markup is on fuck all.

I'm not concerned with what people do in their free time, all the matters is that the workers of the world unite and we dismantle capitalism before it destroys us all. So, be who you want to be but we need to stand united.

American style "communism" isn't real communism, what I think you are referring to is the fake pandering corporations do to appease liberals (the one constant in my life is the hatred of liberals). Any efforts for gender, racial, and other social equality is exploited by the corporations of the the United State in order to keep the workers divided. Nazbol is a group of very confused nazis, I don't understand them. Tankies are easy to make fun of and might lack the ability to understand humor if it isn't clearly define for them.

I still don't know what Chapo is, means, or implies. I thought it was a meaningless buzzword /pol/ throws around to scare themselves.

but i am curious what exactly you mean by this. what do they do that is divisive? how do exploit efforts for social equality to pit different groups of workers against each other? cause i would agree with your statement but i get the feeing your answer to this question would be very different from mine.
>I still don't know what Chapo is, means, or implies.
this i don't believe, unless your journey from alt-right to communism has been extremely short and drastic and was the result of reading like one book

>>15640243
Not the guy you are talking to, but I'm pretty socialist and agree we need to unite and dismantle capitalism to allow survival. I struggle with the fine details of BLM, LGBT and instead have a pragmatic view everything as class conflict.

Don't give a shit what people do in their free time. I've almost no interest in gender. How it impacts me is that amongst my friends I have to keep my mouth shut because some are absolutely rabid to the point of irrationality. I don't know why the fuck they are like that, but they focus almost exclusively on BLM, colonialism, trans rights, TERFS and all that jazz.

It has gotten so bad I don't think some of them are interested in any kind of society or forming anything of value. I think they just like arguing and shit posting, memes which confirm their values and booze.

Dismantle rather than destroy. Restructure and repurpose. Grow where possible, pragmatic. I keep quiet because I have no horse in that race. My opinion is neither wanted or required. I find it more constructive to engage with the world where I can add value and bring something so I'm just like ... ok great, now lets focus on the issue at hand which is related to something direct and practical.

Often I couldn't give a shit about how the space needs to be inclusive and non-exclusionary to all peoples while being aware of and respectful to the historic and current theft of native land. We are usually a gang of white dudes.

Shit I have heard and nope out of because it leads to pointless infighting and extremism ...

>having white babies is racist.
>so called canada, a stolen land to legitimise it using its white name is violence.
>hopefully the 3rd world will breed white people out of existence.

>I'm not concerned with what people do in their free time

too bad for you, since capitalism is a result of what people do in their free time, economics do not exist in a vacuum. the sexual revolution and flamboyant faggotry have spelled a disaster for any kind of serious socialist movement because "liberated" harlots and sassy homos insist on being the little eichmanns of capitalist excess. they are the perfect golems for the neolib security state and when you ignore personal morality and propriety, you might as well just walk into jeff bezos's office, insert his cock into your mouth, and allow him to ejaculate down your throat as he laughs at your pathetic commie sensibilities. unchecked female hypergamy and racial diversity absolutely annihilate social trust so much that it was constantly shitposted about all the way back to ancient greeks, plus amazon recently had a leaked document where they praised diversity because it helps bust unions lol.

the wannabe trad conservacuck vs licentious leftist dichotomy is old and busted and you clown yourself daily when you attempt to materialize these stale memes. any effective change will need to be an entirely new paradigm: a fourth political theory, if you will.

Racism is the biggest wedge driven to divided the classes. Rich slave owners needed to convince poor white farmers that they were somehow better off than the slaves. So they leaned into racism hard for that. They need poor whites to be racist so they will resist unionization efforts. The same thing is happening today but with all the social identity groups. Straight white men are being told they are better than everyone else and everyone within their group is told the same. Now that everyone thinks they are the special group, they get angry when other groups get publicly told they are special.

Blacks, women, LGBT people are not the problem. The elites are and /pol/ fell for the lie that minorities are the problem.
