I think he’s fully delegitimized among those who know his name. The problem is that he’s not gonna stop posting literal made-up bullshit and new people will upvote and uncritically consume it because he uses headlines like “Why Anti-Imperialism is Good”. While I will bully him at every sighting, I can’t commit to being online as much as him.
As long as it’s confined to the infighting comm I don’t think it’s a problem. But he’s clearly strategic about where and when to post each article to trick the most people into reading.
I don’t think my proposal is unreasonable. This site is not a big tent, there’s already a separate site for that.
I’m not trying to be pedantic here, especially since I’m new to posting here, but I have to ask: why can’t we just ban them? Would we not ban Matthew Heimbach just because there’s a picture of him holding a communist flag? To anyone paying attention, Rainer Shea has been a long-standing problem in virtually every active communist community on the internet. He polemicizes anyone who doesn’t support allying with the US far-right. I saw this post 2 months ago and he’s gotten so much worse since: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/139750w/petition_to_ban_rainer_sheas_blogaccount/
Do we just not have the resources to enforce a ban? I think he should be treated the same as Wisconcom.
I also support a wiki page and would contribute to it.
