EffortPost [any]
Considering past events with doxing and targeted harassment, I think certain amount of healthy mindfulness about wreckers is warranted.
My hope for this post is that it can be used as a community resource so folks can better identify questionable accounts and be less anxious on the whole. It’s a lot easier to disengage, ignore, and/or ppb someone once you can tell they’re just an angry clown.
That’s a good one! They are almost always passive aggressive / straight up aggressive about it as well if you comment on the account age.

Hmm? No, it’s just a common talking point every single time China makes measurable (but not immediate) progress.
Dunking on :reddit-logo: and having fun, I would hope that sort of liberalism wouldn’t be here.
Longer mulling over of the subject:
I’ve especially noticed this sort of response with ultras, who tend to fixate on idealism and view any progress that isn’t immediate and complete as somehow a failure. Sad way to live, since it is often fairly easy with this mindset to continually shift the goalposts regardless of what is done. It’s the sort of behavior that Lenin criticized as being “an infantile disorder”.
This isn’t intended as being sectarian as I don’t think(?) most leftists identify as ultras. Regardless, I’m merely describing the behavior and Lenin’s response to that sort of dogmatism.
On that note, this site’s public mod log is a great source of slop and available at the bottom of every page.
:popcorn-time:
If you check now, there’s a batch of removed comments from someone who definitely checks a lot of the boxes for “wrecker”. :quark:
