I agree. What I more so meant is that it’s pretty blatant with that kind of “transparency”.

Al Gore…it’s time.

Fair. Any poll is absolutely suspect. The right-wing shift in national politics is absolutely noticeable though. Objectively…I think Obama was a little less “right” than Dick Cheney (by a little less I mean like an inch/inch and a half) but at the same time here is dick cheney now endorsing democrats and trying to get George W. Bush on board. But you could be right.

In a weird way, it forms a sort of “inclusivity” that is fiercely defended. It works to keep the worst out, but we do make mistakes. Even the best immune systems do that. At the same time, this does create a good safe-space for one, for two it also creates a sort of “cryptic appeal” that I’ve noticed amongst newer members. I felt the same.

Seeing the “cryptic appeal” was that there are people so passionate, so caring and quickly take up to this place was inspiring for me as someone who’s been a commie but never heard of this place. To newer people, I can see the appeal; if they aren’t already poisoned by propaganda.

A lot of these libs really do be drive-bying. Like I said, it’s just so hard to determine who is interested in actually discussing anything or just leaving a shitty comment. I hear you though, no worries.

Blockchain ledger? Yeah, don’t think you’re actually going to be able to follow the money there. What an odd choice to focus on that for a up and coming leftist party.

I don’t snap at libs very often (twice since the election, which I’ll explain); which was the point of me bringing up my other civil conversation. Specific things like that make me want to, it’s just that post-election tensions have been running high and I’ve pretty much been filled with hatred at some of the fair-weather dems. I also had a few friends who went full scratch (one literally sent me a stonetoss meme) so the noticeable right-ward shift that I’ve seen just has me on edge. I was vitriolic and venomous, I get it and I do apologize about that.

I could be wrong too, maybe it is someone who might see more left-leaning views in the future. God knows I used to say dumb shit (14 year old lolbertarian at one point), but looking back now I’m also glad I had people to voice their abject disgust or tell me to fuck off instead of trying to make it seem acceptable by “negotiating” or “tolerating” it. That’s just me though, I can see your point otherwise.

It’s really hard to tell who actually means genuine or someone who is just a scratched lib brown-shirt doing a drive-by. So many out there.

In terms of squandering organization; I don’t think so. I’ll calm down probably after today and I’ll go back to posting memes, content pieces, etc. In real life I’ve been getting to know my community, or at least the neighbors around me, more and more and have reconnected with a few friends who’ve been curious about alternatives post-election; which has been a surprising feeling. Like I’ve said, I’ve had more success with clueless trumpers than I’ve had with ignorant, smug liberals who are going full fourth reich post-election.

It’s partially both in my experience. Depends on where you are. Suburban/rural Gen Z really are leaning more conservative; statistics will show that right-wing ideologues are on the rise in younger generations.

At the same time, it’s also an age thing. Plenty of people develop at 14-16 politically. Some do it at 20. Some do it at 25. There are some 22 year olds I know now who are just beginning to actually think about politics.

Fair enough I suppose. I’ve had quite a few hostile experiences as of recent; my bad for bringing them over. Not sure why you perceive it as a “cool and hip” thing though, I was having a relatively decent conversation, as I said, with another lib. There are some I can stomach, some I can’t. Satirical racism, as a joke, is something I can choose to not associate myself with…better yet, I can get really fucking pissed at it. Same thing with those who defend it; because the whole thing…like the whole post (in unethicallifetips) even if it’s MEANT to be a joke or not is still really fucking gross.

So, I think I can at least get real fucking pissed at that. But understandably, I did have a bit of venom to it. Also. They literally came in being hostile “To the brilliant…”

Drive-by comments from these types are not the ones we’re gonna reach through. I’ve had more luck with my Trump neighbors than these types (made a post a while back and had more progress since then). They’re ignorant, smug and straight up having a meltdown over on Reddit right now; where this is from. It’s full fourth reich over there. Someone defending this is definitely not type to organize with.

I was having a decent conversation with another lib from lemmee; different than this type.

Oh cool! Topped off with some racism!

@Deconceptualist@lemm.ee Very satirical funny racism. You fucking pathetic worm.

For this brilliant fucking idiot that I’m responding too; satire isn’t planting suggestions into the heads of disgruntled liberals to attack marginalized people even while you do so with your tongue in your cheek.

Eat shit.

Yeah naw I understand the issues with storage and what not.

This shit is so fucking corny. This is like a 12 year old posing in front of a old soviet bloc with molchat doma thinking he’s “Soviet-wave”

Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

The entire internet in a nutshell. Sucks, doesn’t it?

By not going back

You post some of my favorite content on this website. Thank you for doing this!

“Finally, during the biennio nero, middle-class liberals blamed workers’ demonstrations for the continuing armament of the fasci and the increasingly popular appeal of fascism. Some even expressed explicitly philofascist sympathies, citing the fascists’ successful suppression of disruptive and divisive workers’ demonstrations.”

Oh, how familiar this plays world-wide.

Big French at it again. It was all caused by the French.

They don’t exist, that’s why.
