Missed you libs
The lefty subreddits that didn't get banned just aren't the same
Nowhere else ever quite had the right blend of shitposting, serious discussion, and dirtbaggery.
Death to America. Feels so fucking good to post that again. I missed CTH so mush.
I don't do social media except lurk on Twitter, so getting directed here in the first place was fucky. At least the softies at BreadTube made a thread.
Whats; up megathread. Thinking of a bit where i call the megathread a meagre thread. Like "This megathread sure is a MEAGREthread!". thinking of that
This is the kind of raw wit that other leftist subreddits just can't muster
Thank god you're back, I was lost without you. I didn't know the date for weeks.
i wish i had chapo during the /r/smashbros drama. so many rape apologists it's disgusting. is statutory rape wrong??? let's discuss !!! didn't know they were ALL libertarians
The amount of people that have been MeToo'd in all that was mind-numbing.
I was thinking of making a thread here about it, but I'm a lazy fucking lib.
Megathread of accusations from /r/smashbros, for those who haven't seen it. Though not the easiest to navigate due to the appalling number of claims.
There was a little reply that stuck with me during all the game-related sexual allegations in general, something like "Surely if it's this pervasive across the entire gaming space, it must be like that everywhere"
I really hope that was the moment of realizationIt definitely is. It's an obvious look into how pervasive rape culture is, as well. But part of me still thinks gamers are uniquely a bit worse about this stuff
I got into so many arguments with ZeRo fans continuing to stan him after he admitted to soliciting nudes from an underage girl. So many competitive Smash fans are impressionable children, which makes the whole situation even more disgusting. They're not quite mature enough to understand the gravity of what these predators were doing.
I've had more trouble with the Nairo/Zack stuff. Zack asked for money so he wouldn't expose Nairo's predatory relationship with him. I think the age difference is 15/20, and my absolute favorite comment was i shit you not "What Nairo did was technically legally wrong, but what zack did was morally wrong", and it had like 20 upvotes. fuck my life
this place is like when you seize the means of production and you realise this shit is hard work and you'd rather sleep.
Does anyone else feel like no matter who wins the election, people are gonna attack the left for it? If biden wins liberals are gonna say that they didn't need the votes of the left or its ideas to win an election. But if biden loses, they are just gonna blame us for not voting and for like tainting bidens campaign with leftism that'll drive away republican swing voters. and well, republicans will attack us either way either saying leftism is dumb, or getting mad that our communist asset got in to the white house.
All the more reason not to vote Biden. If the left is perceived as a threat we may get a little more attention and exposure for our ideas.
But things will I think be a lot worse for the left if Biden wins. Lots of liberals are going to turn their attention to us and blame us for Hillary losing and blame us for being "extremists" and I think the cold war attitude will prevail on the Democrats, that is they'll seek to strongly condemn the left, they'll try and distance themselves from us, they'll try and give the security state new powers to surveil and repress us to show their fealty to American capitalism and to those surveillance organs themselves.
Reactionaries attacking the left is a constant. The only difference is if Biden loses they'll continue attacking liberals and liberals will begrudgingly do some of our fighting for us.
Regardless of all that, things will get worse under Biden because America and the economy are deteriorating rapidly, and Biden and the people around him are obviously not equipped to handle that.

I don't know about that. Its ancient history once Trump is gone. But, there will be a massive divide in the Democratic party, as there would have been in Hillary had won. We will REALLY see a divided party in Congress. Imagine the party controls Congress and the White House, and then we will see the party fighting the progressive caucus about what bills to pass in the historic opportunity. It will have been a really long time since the Democrats didn't have the GOP blocking them. Everyone recalls 2009, but it was only 5 weeks between when Al Franken was allowed into the Senate and when Ted Kennedy died, and it was August when everyone was on recess. So it was very short-lived.
Lets say Dems get that advantage out of the gate in 2021, we will probably see the progressives and liberals debating and fighting along similar lines that the two parties used to fight, before the 60s.
Maybe, I hadn't really thought about that democrats would distance themselves from us before. Im starting to think tuning myself out of anything having to do the presidential election is probably the best thing to do. I can't exactly effect the election all that much, and unless I can somehow play a key role in making the psl or :watermelon: win then im not really interested in taking the time to have to think about it.
2024 ): Presidential elections just keep on happening. 2016 was the first election I really truly had any real awareness of, and I'm already sick of them.
yep, it's why a lot of us became grillpilled (at least when it comes to electoralism) when bernie dropped out
Liberals will always attack the left for whatever bullshit reason they can think of. You're 100% right, but it's best not to dwell on it.
death to america
put all billionaires in camps (death ones)
fuck the police
free palestine
Hey does anyone have the old /leftypol/ greentext where the person wakes up from a coma and marvels about how everything is better and there are no advertisements and everyone is improving themselves and they meet a kindly old German man on the train and it's Marx and he says "I told you it was inevitable, Comrade"
don’t speak to these people in good faith. ‘one of them mugged me?’ i mean wtf is that? fuck off
That is the main reason my aunt gives for her "I'm not racist, buuuuuut..." bullshit. The catch is that she didn't even get mugged, she just got really scared this one time in 1979 so that's how she justifies it in her head.
It's really worth it if you can get those people to explain themselves, like really get down to the bottom of it. It's always some really thin nonsense like that. It's a really bad idea to get into the business of discounting someone's trauma, but that's just the thing, I have yet to meet one of these people who has experienced any. All I find is blind fear, the people who have dealt with actual trauma don't usually turn into weird bigots because of it.
not even a bad faith argument at that point that’a just being a bigot, straight up.
Arguing with some conservative on reddit. I mentioned that I'm a socialist and he keeps asking me how much money I make. I gave a joke answer and then said my non-answer "confirms his "suspicions that" I'm a "well-to-do Karen who wants to tell others how to live but not how you should live". Then he said I'm not really a socialist but just a busybody with bad advice.
Do conservatives think Karens are leftists? Anyone bored and feel like reading my exchange with this dude? Either for a laugh or to help me figure out what the fuck he's talking about? Would it be bad to link to the reddit thread in here?
if you make bank own it! conservatives love wealthy people. tell him capitalism has deemed you (a wealthy person) better than him. and tell him because you make bank you're not a socialist due to envy.
"Karen" has been moving toward being a synonym for "bitch" for a while now. Wasn't the original meaning, but it won't be long before that's overshadowed imo.
yeah they ruined the entire meaning of the word "karen" when it became popular, its so annoying to see it used for everything people dont like now.

i think this may be one of those, 'understands a thing like a dog" where they get the tone, but not the message. karen = bad + details, is probably the extent of their thinking.
I think this may be one of those "I'm arguing with a literal dog" situations.
The wild thing is that if you made less than average he'd accuse you of wanting free handouts. Honestly making above average does give you more moral authority in this conversation, as (in his mind) you'd be less likely to personally gain from socialism.
Like honestly what he's saying doesn't even make sense. He is using the trope that if you're successful under capitalism you're not allowed to criticize it.
If you are rich then you are a hypocrite larper, if you are poor then you are just jealous and looking for a hand out. Either way they are fishing to use a thought terminating scripted response then act like they destroyed you with facts and logic.
It was fun and I think my replies were kinda funny. I wasn't trying to change his mind about anything, that's pointless. I think I made him look dumb which was also fun.
Lot’s of “George Floyd was a criminal scumbag” comments in that thread 😬. I fucking hate hearing that argument from conservatives, as if committing a crime at one point in your life makes you deserve to be executed by police. So Christlike of them.
how can i turn soros bucks into chapo.chat karma? asking for a friend
