I'm not gonna tell anybody what to think, but it does seem pretty funny that people talk about some lefty subreddit in hushed tones and then every time someone attempts some epic brutal Medium takedown it only grows more popular. So I checked the top posts of the past month out of curiosity and it's, like uh, here:

1. The kickstarter quote about how unions are being misappropriated
2. A shitpost about Marx using the word retarded
3. A window sign about "we welcome all" and "restrooms are for customers only"
4. A sociology professor talking down to a working class person for a road sign that said "men working" and then posting a selfie about it on Twitter
5. The term "microaggression" being appropriated by the NYT to attack Ilham Omar
6. Magic isn't real, lol
7. The Japanese right-wing defending whaling by saying the West is engaging in culinary imperialism
8. Ridiculing that epic Medium takedown of stupidpol
9. Brie Larson for being a comic book Air Force propagandist
10. How Dow Chemical Got Woke
11. Referring to Israel as Palestine is transphobic
12. Drones are queer
13. The "full time freelance" recipe job posting getting busted
14. Ridiculing the CTH reddit for liberalism
15. Making fun of someone on Twitter for saying anyone who reads stupidpol needs to be tracked down and booted out of DSA

So do with that what you will.

I’m sad that I understand most of the twitter references in this list.

also “culinary imperialism” is a quality username.

i would like to take this time to point out that the Soviet union had excellent results with local solutions to a global problem, enough that it inspired revolutions in other places. Counter revolutions are apparently hard to pull off if you just get tired of playing softball and either kill all the capitalists or throw them into a labor camp

Anybody that uses that flair would be immediately suspect to me just from how many people I've known who jokingly reffered to themselves as communists and later accepted that they're been gibbering psychopath tankies all along (this is me, I fully accept), or how Nazis couch literally everything in layer after layer of irony to disguise their true intentions and this makes them more and more Nazi as time goes on.

Jesse Singal writes TERFy articles for the Atlantic, this is not some great mystery, he’s well known for it.

okay. so i read the stupidpol thread about it and they seem to be having a bit of an issue with this stuff as well. so i think writing off a sub based on hosting someone who you disagree with about trans issues is kinda dumb, especially when the sub clearly isn't in full agreement on those issues either.

Oh I don’t read this poo poo either way, I gave up Reddit last year because it’s just a dumb website. I just think hosting Jesse Singal is a pretty poo poo thing to do and he has nothing of value to say for leftists.

the biggest thing on stupidpol by far is the appropriation of woke language by capital which I feel like gets a hell of a lot of play here so it’s funny to see Twitter people say stupidpol is gonna incite mass shooters and every user needs to be doxxed and exiled from DSA

the comments were calling singal out at least and reading another thread about trans issues they were arguing TERFs are awful for doing idpol from the right, which is an interesting take to consider.

yeah ive been seeing people freak out about it for months now, but after reading your long post about the top threads there and then going to read it myself for a bit, it seems people are being incredibly histrionic about the entire thing. almost like these extremely online (mostly twitter, from what i can see) leftists can't deal with any criticism from the left, to the point where they will paint leftists as nazis if they don't like what they're saying
