One of the most striking things is this bit I saw on that thread
In such a chaotic and unstable world, it’s good to know that “America bad” is still what leftism is to smug 40 IQ dipshits. Yea, I’d love to see her “research” as well. Is it just hakim videos?
Leftist YouTube and it's consequences have been horrible for the movement.
Movement? My sibling in sinai you are posting on r/Vaush; you're being told about a real world liberationist movement that's been successful under significant duress for 120 years and you're opining about fellow crackers believing in it. You just replied to someone who said 40 IQ like it's 2014 4Chan and pretended to yourself that anybody would want to be in a space where that's normalized
It's no small irony that the people who engage in such big talk about "the movement" (and especially how communists are and have historically always been destructive to it) are the ones who lapped up every word when Va*sh was on his Vote Blue No Matter Who arc while claiming that they were going to "bully Biden left".
No, you're not.
Your audience, if it was at all engaged in irl organising, still isn't large enough to bully Biden left.
You're going to the negotiation table and your opening move is to hand over your single largest bargaining chip that exists within the confines of liberal democracy before you even make a single demand?
Even if the movement was somehow large enough to achieve this goal, saying as much conceals the truth that politicians are bought and sold in the US and no amount of protests are going to have the same influence as large donors and the interests of capital.
There was no plan. There was never any plan. It was just a slogan to get people hyped up about "the movement" and how vooting is actually the most impactful thing that you can do.
...these are the people who call themselves socialists nowadays.
