Raskolnikov38 posted:his complaint is hilarious because DSA east bay's twitter is nothing but "come to this canvassing event" or "meeting on x date" some chapters are closer to his description. anchorage dsa is nonstop avant-garde-as-gently caress memes that imo are actually pretty funny but iirc basically everyone in that chapter is a teenager or early 20s i would be ok with the shitposting being restricted to the yds twitters

i mean it bothers me how the democrats have come across as fundamentally un-serious, detached from the consequences of their political failures and policy compromises, wreathed in cheery branding, and this poo poo really isn't an appealing alternative to me --> https://twitter.com/PhillyDSA/status/875125858599669761 it's worth criticizing, sorry

It's a really dumb thing to get mad about. An organization is trying to bring younger people on and this is a way to appeal to them and unlike "how do you do fellow kids?" from HRC and Co, it's genuine and working.

I think the biggest problem with that article is that he mistakes "treating political subjects without any particular reverence" for "not caring about things". I don't think anyone joins, for example, the DSA because they don't care.

also what this genius doesn't seem to realize given the internet trend is that "discourse" deteriorated once the mainstream internet started blowing up and as usual, gets a lot of things muddled, like trolling for example. You come at them with an argument, they want to discredit you right away by calling you a troll because that way their ideas don't come under attack apparently no matter how dumb it is so really, everyone is disingenuous at this point, him more so at this point now  so now theres layers of "oh no, am i trolling you gosh, you seem really upset over some words ive said that debunked your argument or just disregarded it altogether. You are accusing me of being a troll so I guess I can't waste my time denying it anymore."

the thing he doesnt really get is that the ~nothing matters~ mantra isnt a resigned sigh, but an organic rallying point. things used to matter, and maybe they can in the future, but right now? lol the memes are, in turn, just a reaction to the same mimetic bullshit recycled by normcore politicians, but in ways that bring new people into the fold. confronting someone directly with cops murdering black people and getting off unpunished is a challenging action; there's a lot of people who dont want to acknowledge it exists much less look directly at it. but he-was-no-angel memes are ways to normalize it. any shithead dsa memelord repeating them helps get the idea that cops and society justify murdering black people by looking up social media posts after the fact out there into the world society has drastically changed and most formal social structures are still using the old tools. democrats trying to shame republicans by saying they're being hypocrites, as if this was like the days when people were more mad about nixon being salty af in his tapes than about nixon breaking the law. society needs that detachment to say that these tools are lovely and irrelevant and to give the mental space to build new tools and new ways of looking at things and new ways to address the new shapes of violence coming from the right

tbh i think guys like freddie are really just the symptom of investing a ton of your revolutionary zeal into the concept of educating future generations to reject the impossibly broken system of capitalsm, then getting to the level where they actually let you teach and finding A. It is very difficult to make a living because boomer academics pulled the ladder up on the ivory tower, and you can hope to adjunct for a decade at best before a slot will open up for you B. younger generations are passing through, more interested in memes and street fights than political theory
