No, we left Reddit because of what Spez did to it.

And why did he do that?

Where am I brigading other instances???

they highly value gender inclusivity.

It’s pretty much exactly what the right wing does.

I’m sorry WHAT

Please tell me this is a shitpost

LMAOOO WHAT?? I’m just using the term they use for themselves.

I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they’d tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷

Yes, I understand that Marx and Engels did not have realistic political ideals

Have you read any of Marx? I’m not an ML but if you even glance at Capital you can tell that Marx’s whole schtick was using science to come up with realistic political ideals.

Can you define direct action for me? What do you think it is?

I’ve participated in dozens of protests. Protests with political organization can lead to change. Protests without political organization are just yelling at a wall.

Protests !== organizing. Organizing achieves political change. Protest does not. Leftists know how to organize, liberals do not.

What’s the difference between a fascist and an “anarchist” who does everything they can to kneecap the only viable left leaning political party in the US?

Sorry which party is this? Dems are not even a remotely left-leaning party. Joe Biden literally criminalized the rail workers using their legal right to strike.

This is also like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of fascism. As if the Dems’ policy of 4 more years of the status quo could prevent fascism at all. That has literally never worked as a way to combat fascism.

BUT neither really believe in good faith discussion, it’s mostly trolling and “dunking”.

I do not like tankies but I have absolutely never experienced this, all tankies typically want to do is discuss theory and history to the point that it’s exhausting. Have you talked to any Trotskyists??

It’s way more present since Hexbear federated in, every first impression is that it’s an alt-right troll farm.

I literally never got this impression, it’s like extraordinarily clear that Hexbear is a leftist instance. From the pronouns in names to the leftist jokes lol.

However, being bombarded with it 24/7 is a great way to make people numb to politics and stop caring.

I have literally never experienced this.

What does this mean lmfao, leftists discuss shit ad nauseum, have you even met a leftist
