          The "left unity" well is so thoroughly poisoned on Reddit that you could dilute it with arsenic. Any community which can bring anticapitalists together under a common cause is subjected to wreckers, sectarian purges, admin coups, or outright bans. Places like r/ShitLiberalsSay are very rare. And for every good place that gets destroyed, we get five more iterations of r/StupidPol.

            It’s worth reflecting on how valuable these spaces are

              It is just a higher volume c/the_dunk_tank, but the longer threads can contain some good sidebar discussions. It doesn't have much of a political program, so it isn't much of a threat, but it is one of the few places on Reddit where cross-pollination between radical tendencies takes place and liberal concern-mongers are swiftly shoved into lockers.

                Adding Bleach Demons to my "white slurs" list, removing Mayo Blood from the top spot.

                  I like calling them "cum-skins", mayonnaise(emphasis on "naise") face, Wonderbread-boys, and my personal favorite - a close cousin to Bleach Demons - Semen Demons :panting:

                    Colonizer is a good one, but most don't really get it....probably because they think its a compliment :agony-shivering:

                      yeah you're most likely gonna get a :jesse-wtf: out of your average person, and honestly (my opinion here) kinda cringe if you use it unironically when you yourself - the person using the word - are also a colonizer. I'm more comfortable leaving those kinds of words for the native americans.

            Try to call for left unity in a post or comment and half the subs call you a fascist, the other half call you a radlib.

              Most people are libs, apolitical, or have totally incoherent politics sectarianism just shuts the door on a lot of people that may be willing to learn.

            lmao I swear genzedong itself doesn't allow ''non-scientific leftists'' which includes leftcoms, anarchists and MLMs

          They did do that hostile takeover of /r/genzanarchism awhile back. Maybe we should be a bit cautious about welcoming all of them here.

            That was one mod who has since said they regretted it and were being a shithead. I think they were a teenager at the time lol

            still cringe, but I get how it could happen :vivian-shrug:

      Strange, I told people to join hexbear in MULTIPLE posts there, giving links etc - OFC no consequences and heavily upvoted each time!?
