I think It’s funny to see the political ones, because these stickers are often as incoherent as memorabilia you‘d expect to find in a teenagers room.

And even if they look colorful, they’re as diverse as the distinction between Trotzky and Stalin.

There are the endless hints at porn addiction, wrapped as ideology.

The Anti-Capitalism coming from an 3,000$++ MacBook Pro is also rich, especially if that evil capitalist gave it to him for free, plus an absurd monthly stipend.

There‘s the outspoken expression of peace, love and moral superiority - right next to „fck“ other people, „smash“ individuals with opposing views or downright „kill“ them.

And of course the old chestnut of caring about digital freedom, privacy but then low and behold people have a different opinion, to just „hack“ them anyways.

It’s hard to tell which of these invokes more Schadenfreue, if not its meta that the owners likely think of these stickers as giving away secret hints to the curious about their world views, while in practice you already know it when entering the room.

Damn, you must be so incredibly miserable. I hope you find some happiness in your life at some point.

I don't get what's miserable or unhappy about criticizing the political incoherence of some people. You may disagree with them, but why the personal attacks?

He doesn't realize how this behaviour validates my point.

It's neither a gift nor free.

... Eh? You presumably have _extremely_ weird tastes in porn. Like, this sounds more like projection on your part than a real thing, tbh.
