    Many youths are actively falling into fascism as neoliberalism fails to address the declining material conditions of the empire. Those that turn to Marxism as the answer are actively rebuffed by those who should supposedly be their allies.

    I guess what I'm saying is that there we be many "kids" who actively enjoy the GoPs rule. It's not like they seem to get any other option besides turning hard right, politically.

      This hits hard, since I have seen this happen too. It's just all about infighting and destroying one another and POSTING. There is no solidarity, no in-person praxis. Just POSTING.

        :this:

        no one is perfect. and that doesn't mean we have to accept reactionary positions. but rejecting people as a whole because they have a single bad stance is counterproductive. Not only do I think someone who is a leftist on 99% of things, except, say, sex work, is still fundamentally a good person and a net positive for our cause, but also, someone who 99% agrees with you will probably come around eventually on that last little bit. whether it's veganism or sex work or neopronouns or guns or bunny cops or whatever.
