The context to this is saying about how they're not a fan of the subreddit LeftWingMaleAdvocates, which is a bad subreddit, it's mostly just anti-feminist and basically just MRA, but they just call themselves left-wing. Most of their "left-wing" stuff is actually just "classical liberal" talking points, so they are bad, but calling them tankie is ridiculous.
lol jfc I was checking out LMWA they go full evopsych Jordan Peterson shit in here

These are the guys who insist they're the REAL left and feminism is actually fascism. Burn :reddit-logo: to the fucking ground.
Shit like this sucks. There are legitimate discussions to be had about the demonization of masculinity in anti-patriarchal spaces, how that effects masculine trans people, and how it encourages an individualistic moral lens rather than a systemic one. But it becomes so hard to discuss without it becoming a space for fragility and placing blame
This is a regular discussion in the free talk and mental health threads of Menslib. Unfortunately, the sub doesn't really go hard into solutions, but it does at least talk about this. It's not organization or theory, but it can at least feel good for anyone who feels hurt by that kind of rhetoric.
MensLib is a pretty good sub, although it's full of shitlibs.
Yeah, I mostly just go there for the mental health and free talk threads, because it's basically the only subreddit in which I can talk about my mental problems (which, if I'm going to be honest, heavily involve dating) without either:
A) Being attempted to be indoctrinated into some red or black pill shit, or given a bunch of weird evolutionary psychology/Jordan Peterson shit about "the way women are".
Or B) Have a whole lot of things be projected onto me, being told that I'm basically an incel, or that I'm sad about this because I don't see women as people, etc.
What hte fucking fuck? "Left wing" MRAs?
Jesus I need a drink.
Every time I find a new group of reactionary opportunists calling themselves “Marxists” (don’t laugh!), I understand a little better why Lenin was so catty about their co-opting of radical terminology :back-to-me:
Lenin dunking on libs from beyond the grave and being an all around timeless shitposter will never not be funny to me.
