apropos to nothing posted:

yeah I'm not trying to be a spoil sport and ruin everyones fun, its just a lot of people it seems increasingly are being radicalized online and in joke/meme pages and groups and stuff. as a result, I feel like there is kind of a responsibility to even in those kind of environments have a certain level of nuance and legit discussion. I've met a lot of people recently who I can tell have been radicalized in those environments cause they can tell you all about how this group or that group is revisionist or trash or too far left etc. and know all the jokes about icepicks and who killed rosa luxembourg but dont know the first thing about how to form a labor union or even how to run stack

imo create your own spaces for doing this using the meme zones as an entry space because not only will you be seen as a Book Reader in the meme zone, but the possibility for intelligent conversation in Uncle Stalin's Meme Pogrom is pretty slim

Why does something always have to do something for someone?

If your argument is that everything has to advance the cause in some way, then let's just scrap Left Forum, because it's effects on the American left are nill, and frankly a time capsule of more embarrassing times.

Edit: also let's scrap Cspam, for the same reasons

Like, I kinda agree that article's lame. But only because Amber admits to voluntarily attending Left Forum, which is a pretty huge self-own

yes especially if they treat it more like cosplay than actual politics. a good example is adf-fusileda or whatever. although they’ve got legit brain problems so best just to leave things unsaid about them.

Amber sucks rear end & exists only to secure her own place by relentlessly insulting everything around her. She will never do anything of note or worth & I hope she enjoys her six million dollars from the podcast for stealing Hollywood Handbook jokes.

"amber sucks rear end"

felix complains about everything in the known universe, employs weird esoteric ableist humor, has to apologize for rape joke, never logs off:

no, comrade greaves, communism is about MASS gratification. imagine it, thousands of dedicated comrades gather in a field and begin jacking/jilling/whatevering it with all the fury and passion brought on by years of alienation and exploitation, and after hours, our arms tired, our tools running out of charge, and our erogenous zones sore from righteous battering, we RELEASE - and from our combined fluids we summon the first golem of communism
