It’s funny you should ask. I use this language specifically because when I say that leftist communities are filled with cringe populism and bad political science, I get banned from .ml pretty reliably. Calling it out as propaganda seems to play better most of the time.
If you’re gonna chat shit at least cop to what you get banned ‘pretty reliably’ for. I don’t know a single ‘leftist’ who unironically uses the term “degenerate”, fash-ass.
Lol I guess it wouldn’t bother me much. I’m a SocDem, which makes me fail the purity tests pretty quickly. I just want a movement with a leftist heart and a pragmatic head, so we can actually win rights instead of performing while the Titanic sinks.
It feels like a combination of young people without any experience in politics trying to enact change without the ability to strategize and bad actors intentionally trying to create divisive political actions.
While I absolutely think the latter exists, I just cannot justify assuming that every dumb opinion I see from someone I am on the same “side” with is some evil spy. Any movement with that sort of view will eat itself alive in no time. Starting to see traitors in your midst is falling into their trap just as much as the conservative who thinks that’s what leftist thought is defined by.
This is it. But there are actual mature voices over there. I truly believe that dessalines and his kin knows better than to shelter this obvious sectarian and campist influence but just doesn’t have the time to deal with it. Also it’s legitimately a hard problem to pare down either way.
I really wanted .ml to be a more academic oriented leftist community and actually made an effort to contribute such content. It is truly a shame that this kind of content is not only unwelcome, but unallowed.
