I'm king of a pessimist when it comes to Americans at least. Politics to most Americans is equivalent to a spectator sport, and that's including most leftists. I think at best posting a lot just helps blow off steam, or helps leftists not feel so alone. Lots of us feel like we've gone insane in our daily lives. Our experiences don't quite match how most people see reality, or rather, we feel the constant hammering of imperialist propaganda pounding at our heads all day, whereas most people are numb to it. Or they enjoy it.

Feeling connected is important though. It's important to not feel hopeless if you're involved in a movement, and all the memes and jokes help with that.

I don't believe posting is enough though, that's what liberals believe. They believe by just saying a lot of things, by "raising awareness" that reality will simply morph into their desires. We shouldn't ever believe that. You have to actually do things. That Shawn Fain guy, president of the United Auto Workers, he's probably way more effective at spreading leftist working class fervor than anything I've ever seen on a forum. That's the type of action I want to see more of. Winning strikes, being clear about working class victory in interviews, stating goals, planning ahead, refusing to retreat into liberal obfuscation
