Yes, I know from a rhetorical perspective they're a bunch of jerks who do nothing but complain, but is there an actual takedown of their ideological notions? Because just saying they suck without further explanation makes it hard to dismiss them when they pop up. I don't agree with them, I just want to know why I shouldn't. Something about statues and logic and being chained in a courtyard with wind and all that. I'm not sure where to put this, sorry.
I was covering my ass because I was worried if I asked without that little disclaimer I would get people thinking I'm a leftcom.
fwiw theres one leftcom who comes on here every few months and writes a couple of long and unreadable sectarian wall-of-text screeds about the real movement to abolish the present state of things and ruthless critique of all that exists, calls everyone else fake marxists and then promptly gets banned again. so kinda like a more boring version of bmf but they do liven up the place a bit

That’s called a “shibboleth”, a phrase spoken in an attempt to prove the speaker is on the same side as the audience. It’s a phenomenon that super common in the west.
