To blame the current situation on the contemporary left is to give a floating signifier around superficial political alienation more importance than most of them have ultimately shown worthy of having. It isn't even failure. You aren't important enough to have a mission to fail.— damnatio memoriae (@skepoet) May 11, 2022

"you're not important" lol yeah, after skimming a bit I can see why these useless no-materialism PMC podcasters would have this belief! There's no need for all those big words, it's easy to see why these woke radlib are unable to differentiate themselves from neoliberalism, except by whining about how weak and powerless you are. (were ultralefts "powerless" when they helped the CIA overthrow Ukraine's government, and are now bravely dismissing and scoffing at the idea of anti-imperialism on their PMC podcast?)

"@As_a_worker" more like "@As_a_woke_Brooklyn_finance_imperialist"

the accusation is that leftists imagine themselves to be alienated from the political system, but do nothing to either destroy it or divest from it

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
