i like moomin a lot. strangely, 90% of the time i encounter someone else that likes it, it's an extreme leftist type person. a little alienating, but i don't mind it that much. i just won't be going to the moomin meetups

>>21383077
Remember when Moomintroll tried to commit suicide? I didn't like that very much when I was younger.

>>21383114
i think i blocked that out or something because i don't remember that

>>21383104
How and when did you encounter someone who likes moomin? And how did you realize their political stance? Interesting how that happens though. I wonder why

>>21383114
Do you mean this one from the comic?

>>21383143
Yes.

>>21383131
i can only think of three instances, which i guess is not that many. i feel like i'm forgetting some though. one of them was one of my sister's friends. i don't remember how it came up but she just started talking about how much she loves moomin and how she wants to dress like snufkin.
the other two were coworkers; iirc someone had a coffee mug with one of the characters on it, which led to a brief conversation in which we shared our mutual appreciation of the show.
sister's friend is very lesbian and used to talk very openly about hating all men right in front of me. hated that girl

>>21383160
welcome!!!!

>>21383180
Ahaha yeah now i kinda understand what you meant, that sister's friend probably uses tumblr or twitter ( or maybe both)

>>21383184
Op here, i thought the reply was agreeing to my op post so i said welcome. Im not insane lol

>>21383198
yeah she certainly uses tumblr at the least. actually maybe not anymore, didn't tumblr lose its entire userbase after banning porn? idk what she'd be using now. lolcow or something kek

I mean this feels more like /co/ but /co/ fucking sucks so stay here. Moomin is really relaxing.

>>21383104
Maybe you’re more leftists than you think.
Maybe you’re buying into the caricature of a leftist the msm sponsors to disused the easily impressionable away from it.

>>21383359
Or maybe he's had experiences with a type of extreme leftism which he therefore knows exists?

>>21383180
Just imagine Tove creating a character based on Sarah Palin. She’d be a tall humanoid with sharp teeth, crazed eyes, always holding a rifle with a scope on it, asking all the rest of the cast how they tasted, and proceeding to shoot at them.

Young lesbians, and self proclaimed lesbians that’re actually bi, have had bad encounters with males, and/or have heard a lot of stories about ill behaved males. Their hate isn’t spontaneous or stupid, just thoughtlessly shouted out. She’s young (or was). Brash and feisty is how a lot of them get in order to defend themselves.

>>21383359
i had no idea i was so easily impressionable, i can't believe this

>>21383372
Or not. It’s a bit of a question. I don’t know who this anon votes for, but if he thinks Biden is a “commie lib” then we have someone who doesn’t understand what the actual political climate is and is lost in the falsehood of the left/right dichotomy.
As are a lot of people who call themselves leftists.

>>21383384
I’ve been there myself. Media (and the secret services) are deceptive. 4channers usually know that.

>>21383104
I like moomin and used to be an admin of a very racist website that was an offshoot of stormfront, hello :)

>>21383359
The issue is that most leftists gleefully buy into the caricature of a leftist themselves. For one Michéa you have thousands of those.

>>21383376
i agree with you there. i never really hated her, i was just annoyed with her trying to provoke me. it's been like 7 years, she's probably not so edgy anymore.
>>21383392
i'm the guy, and i don't blame you for assuming i'm retarded. i'm typing really fast and i haven't slept in a long time.
>>21383416
i'm glad to hear that there is diversity in the moomin fanbase after all. kek

>>21383077
I like joxter

>>21383104
My wife and I like moomins and I'm an esoteric eco-fascist white separatist .
>>21383416
Oh nice, which one?

>>21383077
Rare Snufkin coming through

>>21383778
My wife painted me this!
Have a free color edit of your Snufkin.

>>21383800
you're a lucky man

>>21383800
is she fat?

>>21383826
Not really. Women tend to gain a little after having babies though, but we do classical P.E. for mitigation on that. It helps that our praxis is secretly extending the tree lines.

>>21383420
The confusion is the problem, no matter what side one picks.
How can one be pro-free speech and an avid racist and Hitler apologist? How can one claim to want equal rights and a dictatorship “of the proletariat”? People are confused and the words don’t mean the same things as they used to.

>>21383427
I hope she’s matured too.
I try to hold off judgment and not copy/paste the median Anonymous incel chud on on everyone. You seem fine.

>>21383416
You don’t. You’re probably one of these nazifags soiling the good name of Snufkin

>>21383778
>>21383800
Rare because it’s all wrong. He’s based on a socialist she knew. You betray everything he stands for

>>21384003
>You betray everything he stands for
Boohoo nigga

>>21384003
>taking a shitpost seriously
What next, you'll warn us of the dangers of hyperborean Spongebob and DJ Hitler?

>>21384013
>extending the tree lines.
Except here. Congrats on helping nature out. Generally where you find leftists. But a mixed bag are seeing things in a more Kaczynski sort of way.

>muh blacks. Muh jews
Boohoo to you too, boi.

>>21384003
>You don’t. You’re probably one of these nazifags soiling the good name of Snufkin
I'm a good boy now. Besides, can't we both set our differences aside enjoy something separate from politics?

>>21383077
I'm going to the Moomin Valley park outside of Tokyo this weekend. If you're ever in Japan for more than a few days, it's worth the train ride out there.

>>21384003
>He’s based on a socialist she knew
I know that, but I think liberals would call this "death of the author". It works all kinds of ways, this is one of them.
>You betray everything he stands for
The "Blood and Soil" movement wouldn't, considering it was foundational to the ecologist thought. Although, I am not a national socialist.
>>21384068
>extending tree lines
That's me. Not the guy you were responding to that can't articulate anything well. Something to note is that I never find leftists actually doing anything unless they can signal it. No one knows that I'm doing it except my wife. We do basic SE by wearing the parks uniform, setup boundaries, and everything else. No one questions it. Soil is pretty easy to work on, too. To put things into perspective: Worms have returned after a few years of work.
>muh blacks, muh Jews
I am generally neutral to them, when they aren't actively being my enemy. You may only have interacted with what a lot of people call "wignats", who tend to be white trash trying to fit in, or find meaning without learning the actual theory. Those people tend to not actually hold these values and both shit up the race and movement, while being not very loyal to the ideas they think they embody.
To put it succinctly: There are niggers for each race, mine included. Either way, good luck!

>>21384003
>You seem fine.
you seem alright too. i'm tired of getting angry on command, i'm just not going to do it anymore. i don't know why i haven't gone to bed yet, or why i'm typing my internal monologue right now.
it was nice to catch a rare moomin experience on /lit/, cheers and goodnight

>>21384062
>taking a shitpost seriously
Which? Oh well, disregard it.
>>21384077
I would ally easily with mild racists if they can ally with my varying ethnic allies, yeah.
>>21384139
Like rule 34 on the Peanuts gang, it sucks. I don’t like the symbolism and all it’s supposed to stand for.
>I don’t know who the leftists are till they signal it
Uh hu.
>generally neutral
That’s good. You seem reasonable too.

>>21384147
Goodnight

>>21383104
Wasnt the creator a socialist lesbian

>starts off by letting us know he has a wife even though that only incidentally has anything to do with the rest of what he is saying
>rather than just saying generically that he is far right he strings together as many hipster-politik adjectives as he can to precisely define all the ideas he thinks are cool in his own little head
>one of the things he identifies as is "an esoteric"
Political and philosophical ideas are like a stuffed animal collection to you. Everybody pay attention! Anon's here to tell us about his favorite manifestoes for show-and-tell today!.

He's just scared of black penis

Stop being this honest on 4chan, I don't trust it, lol. I bet your crypto is in the red, too.

Left and right don't matter. Being an elitist loner knows no direction.
Kinda like NAZIs and their retarded splinter breeds. Hyperboreal whatever is mega gay.

>>21384554
im glad you missed trips

>>21383800
I always wondered who made that image.

>>21385188
Agreed. Left and right false dichotomy is retarded polemics.
>>21384415
And not a single argument was found. It must really chap your ass.
>>21385344
Cheers!

>>21384180

>>21385488
She’d know. Having had a troubled affair

Fellow Moominchads!

>>21385679
:))))

>>21384554
Dick is the only asset of black men. They have nothing else going for them.

You would tell a black man: "Stop sitting on the porch all day and find a job you lazy fuck!", and he'd retort: "Ehm, muh dick! Whitey mad."

>>21384554
Why are Americans so obsessed with black penises?

>>21383359
I think you're right. Many people (especially people from lower class) who label themselves right-wing, do so because they don't identify with the stereopical image of a modern leftist, with the identiy politics and other similar characteristics that aren't really necessary to be left-wing.

In a normal world rednecks and hillbillies would have been leftists. They vote for the rich, republican oil moguls because Dems hate rednecks for being white christians.
