someone in /leftypol/ said that they might be home to (some of) the most radical leftists in the West
I think this place might be too
that's a seriously depressing thought lmao
you can find people pretty far along the far right pipeline on normie ass places, finding an unironic RedFash™ outside of those two aforementioned websites is like finding a needle in a haystack
Leftypol is fine but they do occasionally hold reactionary threads that I stay away from. I usually think it's one or two people since every time I call out their reactionary nonsense they just repeat the same insults of how you're an ivory tower academic for not supporting the fascist white working class in America.
I don't know, but I would guess that they harbor some of the "anti-idpol"/"stupidpol" brainwormed types, which isn't that far off, but not the same. Those kinds of things have a bit of an ebb and flow to them (same can be said here/on the sub) so idk what the current status is.
They absolutely hate stupidpol too, they realized that entirely focusing your discussion around culture war inevitably leads to reactionary discussions and complete abandonment of leftist theory so they usually don't bring it up all the time (which unfortunately leads to a poverty of feminist theory or queer theory but I haven't really learned much from this place too)
it's an imageboard so it can be kind of a chaotic free for all but in general, not really
there's a decent amount of trans/gay people who post there...problem is being an imageboard it attracts a certain type of person (edgelords and people who quite literally aren't bothered by anything) along with wreckers and other idiots that tend to run free to higher degree than most leftist spaces
overt racism/homophobia isn't explicitly against the rules (keep in mind that it is on 4chan and well...you know how well that works out) but posting shit like that will pretty quickly earn you a ban since a lot of the reactionary/opportunist mods were purged in the last two leadership splits
I like the place, but it's very much a mixed bag and not as much of "safe space" as other leftist spaces. I think this is by design since it avoids non-stop circle jerking. There have been some pretty interesting threads that came out of Nazi posters getting dunked on for 500 replies
