To start with, something that's at least specific to what you said/did and not just a generic explanation for how emotions work?
then maybe they should have asked for something more specific, rather than just a generic question that can be interpreted multiple ways

Okay TC, let's re-frame this.

"Why did you say those things?"

"A combination of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins mixed together in my brain which drove me to emote and express thoughts"

That's definitely an explanation for why people say things, but you understand how this isn't a real answer, right?
what would constitute a "real answer"?

not sure why people are dogpiling tc here. this seems like a legitimate qualm -- a lot of people like to ignore the actual words you say in favour of something they made up that may or may not resemble your intent in saying it. a lot of people also expect that you do the same for them.

dealing with that can be really frustrating and exhausting

You can keep yourself warm. I think airbenders can do that too though since Aang just casually walks around the North and South Poles in a thin-ass monk outfit.

Wow. Nice. I haven't had any luck on Tinder. OKCupid and Bumble for me.
generally, my advice with online dating platforms is to make your profile as you as it can possibly be. figure out what you want from it; tailor your bio based on that. be very explicit about what you want.

I just, are there any large-scale examples of successful anarchist movements? The Zapatistas, maybe? But last I checked they explicitly were against being called anarchists.
admittedly I don't really know anything about the zapatistas, but self-identification has nothing to do with whether or not "anarchist" is a good description of them

in my experience anarchists tend to focus too much on the existence of a state being moral or ethical, without acknowledging that it's necessary for defense against the US

That's because it gives way to authoritarian socialism almost immediately,
do you think socialist leaders might feel less threatened, and therefore see less need to consolidate power, if the US stopped trying to kill or kidnap them and invade their country?

and the stateless and classless society thing could never, ever work.
this could be a half decent thesis statement. it needs a little work, but it's not irredeemable.

that level of claim would need... at least a Master's thesis- length essay, with lots of arguments and citations, in order to demonstrate its validity though.

I'm aware that that's unreasonable to expect of a post on this message board; but it's equally unreasonable for you to be making that claim in the first place with no corroboration

Well yeah but if we are comparing success rates, even Marxists gotta admit that capitalism has seen more success. Are we still waiting on the "real try" for communism? Or de we need to go through a full cycle of socialism first?
that depends how you define success. certainly I don't consider "this country collapsed because the largest military power in history put a lot of resources into destabilizing it" to be a failure of the ideology or the economic system
