    I see .ml found this post. There are almost as many dumb comments as there are downvotes.

      They be like “but if the top people are being ran over, it’ll radicalize them into communist ideology, and no way could a surveillance state, that is being promised by Trump and co. to to be even more extensive than the current one, combined with the promise of using the military against protestors, ever hinder the ability of a nation-wide revolution”.

        I’m so glad that deteriorating material conditions radicalize people into left-wing ideologies, here I was worried that educating people was what radicalized them into left-wing ideologies. That’s why whenever I go home to Appalachia for a visit everyone there is wearing red. Th-that is the reason they’re so politically fond of red, r-right…?

        As far as I know, being dumb isn’t against the community’s rules, so no. That would just be bothering the mods for no reason.

          I read something along the lines of “Report, do not engage” but maybe it’s more for obvious shills?

          Thanks for the heads up though!

            “Report, do not engage” is for trolls. These people are true believers, they just believe in something deeply immoral and senseless, because they think they won’t suffer the consequences of fascism.

              Thanks for clearing that out, and yes, as I went to school and also grew up alongside the soviet fucking union I’m quite aware that these poor souls are quite delusional.

              It’s quite interesting for me how they can hold those beliefs. They’re so engaged too.

              Almost a shame they are not a bit more tame because now it’s hard or even impossible to engage in a constructive discussion with them.
