If I was the good faith party I’d prepare with a list of inflamatory but true claims on the bad faith party and any time they try to sidestep, throw the accusations at them and force them to go on the defensive instead of giving them a platform to try and legitimize their bullshit. If you’re talking about what everyone thinks you are, theres no ‘rising above’ it, you gotta attack it.
His truth goes marching on.
I don’t like the idea of fishing if im not gonna eat the fish, even catch and release, like what’s the point of traumatizing and skewering a fishs mouth just to throw it back. It registers like hunting to me, im not gonna do it if im not gonna eat it.
Sometimes those are straight, and sometimes they have a nice little curve to them.

Porn is the best and possibly only reason to stay on twitter. In fact I wish everyone who deleted their account goes and makes a porn following account until the app stores hands are forced to delisting it and even less advertisers pay for spots. Plus there’s some good ass porn there. Or at least there was last I checked, admittedly it’s been a while.
Idk, airs mostly just nirtogen, can’t be too important right?
Same way caffien is legal. If you downed 7 espresso shots in a row I’d bet you’d also feel some advers effects. Hell down 7 McDoubles and see if you dont feel adverse effects.
Depends on what part of the planet you’re talking about. America and Europe sure, but any sovereign nation with Lithium, well watch out, freedoms coming. Im just glad Trump was too dumb to make his Latin American coup work.

A lot of the sports sub mods I frequent put up a hard fight and many just walked away. The change in those communities has been noticable. Especially since they can no longer use API to import clips as they happen, engagement and content is way down. There used to be highlights for days, just automatically.

I don’t think it’s that easy. The academics of the left still leave plenty of room for subterfuge, even studies scholars don’t always agree and even bicker at times. More over the academics aren’t what draws people to leftism, direct action and engaging the communities we want to engage is what wins people over, academic first orgs end up looking like insular book clubs with slow and little growth in my experience and from the opinion of others I’ve read in books about organizing.
I think it serves the left better to meet the acute needs of their local communities, which to me serves as the center of organization. Very hard to argue against initiatives like the BPPs Breakfast Program. Which by the way was exactly what put them on the Feds radar, because my guess is the feds have accepted what I describe here as true, or at least best revolutionary practice. I also find organizing around the needs of the community to be very agreeable, I’ve been in orgs where they itemize our goals and use approval voting to rank them, and mutual aid items are more than usually very agreed upon.
I’d love a honest academic space, but even then our movement is a communal one, and if you’re able to help in a ‘boots on the ground’ capacity but you only engage in academics instead, you likely won’t really make to much material impact. Hell I’d love to be wrong about it being near impossible to have an honest leftist space too, and I don’t want to give the feds more credit than they deserve for even the ills of the movement, we learn nothing that way, but it’s really hard to cut through the noise when they specialize in noise. I’d wager some of these noisemakers have even read more anticapitalist books than some of the people who actually are anticapitalists.
I do think you’re onto something though, the average understanding of the academics of leftism (why we do the things we do), is less understood among leftists than ever before. My guess is the increase in the number of leftists and how acceptable the beliefs are seen as being these days helps foster leftism among people who don’t exactly read their heads off about theory.
There is no leftist community on the internet that will ever be good because there will necessarily be people with clandestine motives weather they’re doing so for work or fun. Every actual organization ive been in on the left operates under the assumption that some of our members are plants. The secret US orgs have been disrupting leftist anything for as long as they’ve existed and so long as they exist a real online community for serious leftist thought will always be under attack. Actually organizing in the actual community is the only remedy, and even then the bad actors are still there, they just can’t be faceless and as inflammatory.
Basically reddit with more Linux posting and few other differences.
I would love to be able to go, “well that sucks” and just get over it.
From someone who can still go with then flow even when the flow seems like its from a sewage plant: That’s the neat part, I don’t get over it. I can either move forward in a way that’s best for me, or I can just let myself react without thinking about it, get a hollow sense of catharsis, and put myself in a worse situation where I’m gonna need more than a hollow sense of catharsis.
What got me was the Pokemon sudowoodo and having heard the word pseudo in some kind of media and figuring out what it meant but not how it was spelled. It’s name is probably a nod to superuser do, but that’s not how I first encountered it as a kid.
Only hearing from family when they deem it important enough to pick up a phone and call or text me directly is one of the benefits of not having social media presence with non any anonymous accounts for me.
