ChapoBapo

the real winner here

I think it’s somewhat naive to assume we’re under the radar. There are people who’s job it is to monitor left extremism, which is clearly what they think this is. I, on the other hand, am a huge dumbass and have a different job, and yet I found this place.

That said I’m not trying to freak people out. I think someone is aware this site exists, and at least some posts are being read by the enemy, but I don’t think they know the name and home address of everyone here. Do practice reasonable opsec - don’t use a username that’s easily tied to you, don’t reveal details of where you live and shit like that, but don’t freak out about it.

Chapo chat was starting to be the first place where i felt comfortable talking about some issues that I’ve been bottling up for a long time, and then yesterday reminded me that I was sharing my mental health details with a bunch of cool comrades and... the fuckin FBI lmao kill me

It's interesting because I've definitely sort of initially responded negatively to discussion of "bullying" by chapos and chapo-adjacent outlets as a positive force, but if I think about it for a second I think the actual message is that there should be social repercussions for chud opinions. That culture should reject people who want to create a white ethnostate or whatever. Which, yeah. True. But if the message is this person is cringe and also a chud, they should have been bullied more for being cringe rather than for their chudness, not only is that kinda cruel but I think it's actually counterproductive.

Yes I feel this. I was bullied and I was a weird kid (and I'm probably still pretty weird and cringe), and there's 100% a contingent of people who responded to being ostracized by going full reactionary, maybe in the same way people respond to childhood abuse by becoming abusers themselves, but for me it made empathize with people and want to take care of people who had gotten fucked by the world.

damn almost like acab or something idk
