      with these grifters i always wonder how much of that is organic engagement and how many are just bots paid for by whatever right wing think tank came up with the idea that fake nazbols are the best way to wreck the left

        Honestly I think that strategy is working at least on twitter. Ive mentioned it frequently before but there's so many socially reactionary Hazite "MLs" on twitter, and the social progressive leftists on there feel driven to Ultraism to not be like those people.

          i've been thinking the same thing lately. it's primarily designed to stop growth of ML thought/interest among younger people by making it seem virulently socially conservative and drive a wedge around a growing but confused leftist movement
