I love to come here, I love to be among other leftists, but holy shit y'all have to stop posting over the top terrifying titles all the time for your posts. I'm lucky enough that I'm relatively stable in my employment and I can float by on anti anxiety medication and shit.

But when you post things like THE LEFT IS FUCKED and WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE on here, you are not helping people. That kind of thing can really fuck up someone's day or night or week, and you can put someone who's already pretty anxious on edge even further. And given that we're all a bunch of left-wing overly smart overly anxious people anyway, I can guarantee that ruins someone's day. And not in a good way, it can send them in a spiral of depression or anxiety, or can make it worse. And DOES make it worse.

Maybe you sincerely feel this way. I get it. I want to be able to support you and I want you to still be able to be heard and speak up. I want you to still post. I want you to post threads. But please think about what your title is first? Think about how it will impact other people? It really can make a huge difference.

    Ya. The far right faces the same internet politics problems that we do. Maybe even worse for them in some ways.

      Charlottesville took them months and months of organising to achieve and they've never achieved anything remotely close since. They get 50-100 max at anything at all. They usually have groups of 5-20.

      They're completely disorganised, sporadic and useless. They have no infrastructure to achieve anything. The left on the other hand mobilises large number consistently, everywhere.

      They're annoying and loud online but not really a threat until they have real leadership and organisation. Neither of which are coming soon. Look at the years and years of marching and organising it took to build the european fascists.

      They're not going to achieve an anarcho-fascist movement. Individualist disorganised fascism won't cut it. Fascism requires hierarchy and organisation to achieve anything. This is the reason we only see stochastic terrorism from that crowd. It is only when fascists take on a collectivist approach and properly organise that they will actually achieve anything.
