Their MO is to make you feel disempowered so you don’t vote, participate, or voice your opinion. There’s too much hate, my brothers, sisters, and nonbinary kin.
Hopefully we all come out of this struggle session as better and more knowledgeable.
I hate to break it to you, but it’s called being terminally online with no real-life outlet for your politics because the best you have is the DSA
American leftists doesn’t need fascists to bicker like petty suburbanites amongst themselves
It doesn’t help the site was fine for a while but a few days ago people start making “why are you bullying anarchists?” threads without any link to an example of it. It feels like the JK spam or the same few people from the discord trying to stir up drama. And every new thread about it is just the same shit of people accusing one group of talking shit with no proof. Either screencap the shit and let the mods handle it or fuck off. Yes the ML/A thing happens, and it happens in every online leftists space. But people shouldn’t be posting 40 paragraph threads about how someone dissed them without a single screenshot.
right, for every instance where this arguably happened, there are like 10 of people complaining about it
a severe case of “go outside”
100%. There’s definitely some mental health, substance abuse, and sociopathological tendencies that color peoples’ intentions, but no doubt there’s some fascists among us. I remember there was a post about it on /cth, and a user had broken down how to spot a fake leftist. I wish I could remember more, but the most striking one was “high volume, low substance” posters. The person publicly called out a couple suspicious users, and alarmingly, their accounts were almost immediately scrubbed. They will often create a “presence” or “personality” and karma by reposting memes, bandwagoning, and doing things like calling everyone “lib” (lol I think we all do that) so they fit in.
This shit would be ripe for academic study.
