I would be real disappointed if that was true

Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?

    Just like all their other bullshit. They claim we’re right-wing, they claim we aren’t LGBTQ+ accepting, they claim we support Putin, yet no matter how many times we ask, never once have they ever bothered to pony up any evidence to back up these wild accusations.

      The issue is that the liberals have figured out you don’t need evidence. You just need more people to repeat a message often enough for it to become the accepted “”“truth”“”. It doesn’t have to be the actual truth but you create it by making people believe it through repetition.

      It’s propaganda, and it works. Nobody is immune to it including us, but the more switched-off to propaganda that people are the more susceptible to it they are. And the vast majority of people are switched off to it.

          That’s why they defederate us though. They create a chamber in which we don’t exist, and then repeat the propaganda without opposition where people believe it.

          They did the same with historical revisionism, like the ribbentrop pact, and look at how almost every lib repeats that ahistorical shit now.

          Social media pillarisation is about getting communists away from susceptible liberals, so that they don’t become communists and so that communists don’t interfere with their propaganda by injecting the actual truth.

    “JohnBrownWasRight”? Sounds like something a republican would say in an alternate history where the Southern Strategy didn’t lead to a reversal in Republican and Democrat’s positions on race in the 60s. Clearly the Mandala Effect is at work here! No more sand painting until we get this under control!

    “Did you know that if you don’t throw your trans comrades under the bus to appease chasers and ableists that it totally means you’re actually just using them as a shield bro, just trust us bro”

    Every accusation a confession.

      Wait thinking Johns are gross is being detached from reality now? Really? Have any of these people actually talked to anyone in real life? Even fucking dudebros hate on Johns and call them simps lmao. Like I’m telling you, you’re not going to find much support for this in the real world. There’s a reason men don’t solicit sex workers in public and tell their wives about it.

      There’s a reason sex work models in some countries make “selling” legal but “buying” illegal. It’s a real thing in the real world.

        Didn’t we just have an anti-SWERF struggle session a couple months ago? I thought the consensus was that sex has already been commodified and that sex work is no more “selling your body” than coal mining or any of a number of other jobs is, and that if you’re taking particular offense to sex work you should seriously reconsider whether that energy is coming from a sexist slut-shaming puritanical place or truly from your leftist values.

        I didn’t take any particular stance on the issue because I’m neither sex worker, nor john, nor a woman. I guess I’m saying this partly to restate the strict anti-SWERF hexbear line, and partly to clarify my own understanding, not to attack you personally because I don’t think you’ve said anything necessarily incompatible with this, but it could be taken that way.

      The first paragraph is very:

      If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain.

      Which has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. I think usually because they don’t give any reasoning or explanation. It’s just “you don’t understand the world yet”, then explain it to me!

      I feel like the intent has to be just to dismiss young people’s views as being out of touch, without offering anything better.

    “Ok guys I just got this great idea for how we can troll the left, it’s really funny I promise, what if we like, what if we all like, set up a community where we pretend to be commies, and also a bunch of us were like, trans and gay and stuff? No no like hear me out we would like ban anyone who says slurs or questions the validity of trans people in any way, lol. Like, what if we designed a bunch of custom emojis with the trans flag and made everyone display pronouns next to the name to make sure nobody gets misgendered? That’d be so funny lol. But we HAVE to make sure nobody catches on, so we should just like, keep the bit to ourselves for a couple years, we’d have to like, spend a couple years hanging out in that kinda space with just us until we can perfect the bit. Ok so who’s down?”

    Seriously, have these people met chuds before? I’d be impressed to see one that could keep the mask on for like a day.

      Don’t forget having fucking reading groups and forums for learning about leftist theory and history and having many users on hand who can discuss Marxist, etc. works with a great deal of familiarity, often readily including citations and encouraging people to do their own reading.

      This is some “Judeo-Bolshevism” level shit

    I mean, you are. If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog…

    Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side; they need them if they’re going to stand chance at holding office or gaining seats. What you guys are doing is driving away the people you need the most. Your behavior makes no sense for a communist. I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.

    The point I’m trying to make is that you’re not fooling anyone, MAGAts.

    Edit: How do I disable inbox replies? I really don’t care to read what any of you idiots have to day. I don’t listen to terrorists. Don’t you guys have a courthouse to protest in front of? Go give your previous “god emperor” your attention instead and leave me alone.

      I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers.

      The acceptable range of opinions on this instance regarding what should be done with right wingers ranges from the moderate position of “Force them into re-education camps” to “Force them into a pit and throw in dynamite.” pit

      I’m really not sure how we could possibly make this more clear. fash-bash BASH THE FASH fash-bash

      I thought this was a joke at first, I’m serious. Not everybody on this site is from the US, but the democrats are a garbage party and do nothing for communists in the US either. Even if we had a one-party dictatorship of the democrats, they would simply re-create the two-party gridlock within their own party, as they have done numerous times in the past (Obama administration, Biden administration, various democratic strongholds such as California). They’re increasingly not much of a party anyway, since they have no apparent means of forcing their own members to follow the party line.

      I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.

      We literally do that all the time. You probably only found out about us after all this federation drama, during which we’ve been mostly making fun of all the goddamn liberals it’s brought in, so that’s why your perspective is skewed.

      The point I’m trying to make is that you’re not fooling anyone, MAGAts.

      Motherfucker you are a fool.
