Also the US: "Wow it looks pretty reactionary out there huh? Looks like we're the best friend you're gonna get, you better stick with us."

This article from 2021 is one of my favorite pieces of floundering apologia. At no point does it manage to establish any factor to distinguish Israeli apartheid from South African apartheid. The closest it comes is claiming that Israeli apartheid isn't meant to be permanent
I was trying to become socially a good person for friends, to become socially favourable towards girls
Those are one and the same thing. Women aren't some other kind of beast that you have to learn about, they're just people that you need to unlearn some distinctions about if you ever want to connect with them. Same goes for men.
When I hear another man talk about men being chimps when chasing women, I hear excuses for stereotypical and often violent behavior
So, what did you telling this feminist about your self improvement look like? Did it involve saying anything about the supposed nature of men and/or women?
Because you're doing that here, and "self-improvement" has become synonymous with evo-psych quackery like Jordan Peterson's
"Simply saying I was working on self improving" lmao
You're the one making rightwing, redpill assertions. Shut up about women and you won't have this problem
Did your "self improving" consist of listening to pseudo-evolutionary pseudo-psychologists run their mouths?
Sartre quote
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
If this is too close to sectarianism I get it, but I keep hearing about Marxist-Leninist-Maoists at the periphery of other discussions and all I know about them is:
- they seem to be distinct from other Maoist tendencies
- their name is often shortened to Maoist in conversation
- the tendency is at least nominally a synthesis of Mao's writings into prior ML theory, done by someone named Gonzalo
- their reputation among MLs seems to be deviant
- I think the rapper Power Struggle alludes to being one, which is my sole investment in this question
