slowly radicalizing me and I don't like it
:sicko-blur:
Can't wait for all my leftist friends that I managed to convince electoralism works rubberband back into tankies bc moderates are massive bitches
:sicko-beaming:
this is literally half my friend group rn and I'm running out of counters
:sicko-crowd:
This is a question I keep coming back to- is there a way to have honest analysis amongst ourselves and also recognizing that some of that analysis suggests actions that aren't a good idea in this moment?
I personally think a lot of the criticisms of AOC are well founded. But that doesn't mean I'm going to lead with them when talking to libs I'm trying to radicalize, and I don't think most people are suggesting that.
I guess what I find weird about comments like yours is you seem to be saying we shouldn't even be criticizing her amongst ourselves which, just, why?
I'm all for honest analysis and criticism -- but calling AOC a fascist is neither. Who does that appeal to outside of (some) terminally-online leftists?
Do you see what you're doing again? You're conflating analysis with tactics.
Who does that appeal to? Why does it matter if it's not in our messaging?
It's bad as either analysis or tactics.
