 Half-Hearted typically aren't as tuned-in to the ideology as the Ideologically Pure, so they often find themselves running afoul of the eternal purity test.
-Basically, anyone who says “I was woke once but I'm not ever since x” then they're almost certainly a former Half-Hearted.

 These differentiate themselves further by having the capacity to see their own hypocritical beliefs. Though their solution to avoiding being hypocritical is the freeze and voluntary shutdown.
-A good (and public) example of a Half-Hearted is Red from [[youu>OverlySarcasticProductions|Overly Sarcastic Productions]]. In her [[you>j-yJDbC_a2c|Gilgamesh video]] there's a frame with a ranty text-wall about the issue of ‘Finders Keepers’((:fn:>‘Finders Keepers’ is the idea that if you discover an artifact during an archeological dig, you basically ‘own’ it. Post-Colonial thought opposes this on the basis that this is theft and, consequently, the former colonial powers should return the artifacts.)) and ISIS. To summarize the rant: Red was basically trying to reconcile Finders Keepers being bad with the fact many artifacts from Mesopotamia ended up being saved from destruction at the hands of ISIS because they weren't in the region. This text wall ends with a dramatic “aaaaaaaAAAAAAA”. In real terms, this just means that she voluntarily chose to stop thinking about it because that line of thinking naturally leads to the conclusion that Finders Keepers can’t be bad in all situations.\\

 As a result, the Post-Colonial position that it's //always// bad breaks down.

 It's a very Post-Modern way of thinking basically.

 One of the more insidious representatives of Post-Modern Piracy – though one unrelated to Reddit, interestingly enough – is ThePirateBay.\\
 ThePirateBay is responsible for birthing the Swedish Pirate Party, from which all the other European Pirate Parties came. And //all// of those parties are SocJus aligned, just that they're a little crazier due to being technocratic.\\
-ThePirateBay is itself a big rabbit-hole of “what the Hell’ if you bother to look into it...but just keep in mind that the statement “they flirt with Post-Modernism” isn't even the tip of the iceberg. If you're curious, look into Piratbyrån, Telecomix and Kopimi. All of those //really// explain what I mean.

 Ironically, one of the other big representatives of this particular ideology is probably Mutahar,((:fn:>I had forgotten about him, but **Modern Vintage Gamer** is also a major representative of this ideology. In fact, I think I first identified it with him.)) who is otherwise anti-SocJus. It's just really ironic that he doesn't realize his ideology is Post-Modern. And he also demonstrates Post-Modern-style hypocrisy like the situation surrounding the Switch 2.
