Real fucking damage being done here. Imagine someone being curious about socialism and went into that fucking place but ended up finding conservative, imperialist MAGA larping as socialist and spew hateful reactionary rhetorics about important social issues that serious socialists are actually in support of, and they ended up thinking “oh no socialists are bad people and untrustworthy!” … Like the poster I was responding to is a lib but what could have been an educative conversation turned into this. I’m not sure if my comment would even reach that person. I’m loosing way too many brain cells over this.

      Just a quick summary, I immediately cringed at how much I left out here. So, I’ll drop a link later. It gets long fast & I have trouble not getting lost in a tangent about, say, loose ends related to Medea Benjamin/whoever. 🔜 Rage Against the War Machine rally feels like the point where everyone just started playing Calvinball and interviewing Kash Patel (But Leftistly)
