What is this bullshit?
Said it once and I'll say it again, this is just Black Hammer for white people
This is what happens when you have no standards for what it means to be socialist. Unironically there are people roughly as bad as this in the DSA, but usually Russophobic. Western leftists in general suffer from not reading anything and instead just plod around in their liberalism.
DSA makes a concerted effort to expel leadership that are critical of Jamaal Bowman, who's actively providing material support to imperialism from his position of power. These other dweebs just run around confusing a very small number of people with terrible takes.
My premise, which you're pushing back on, is that there are people in the DSA that are comparably bad, and my example is someone with actual power providing substantial material support for the deaths of thousands of brown people via US imperialism, drawing on a similar jingoistic current - and that DSA's leadership providers cover for this and censures others in leadership who reject it.
Do you truly believe that substantial material support for the apartheid bombing campaigns is lesser than some neo-Strasserites that nobody but us and a handful of teenagers care about?
These losers deserve every form of mockery that comes their way, but there's a more serious side to all this. Maupin has been associating himself with the LaRouche movement. Just read about LaRouche or the LYM. Despite their incoherency, there are striking similarities between the ideology of the LaRouchists and Maupin's, including the not-so-subtle antisemitism.
They are a cult, and Maupin is already trying to set himself up as a new cult leader. Most of the books they sell aren't even Marxist, but random books that Maupin allegedly authored. We have already seen a cult leader in the form of Gazi. More of these cults will pop up as the US further decays. Some people will fall into fascism while others will fall into these cults. Both will lead them off a cliff.
If you're talking about the LYM, my first exposure to them was at a community college where they had a booth handing out their shitty newspaper. The articles kept on labeling things "Apollonian" and "Dionysian" like some wannabe Nietzsche except they liked the Apollonian stuff. There was also some bizarre article about how Leibniz was some genius and Newton stole his idea and how this is somehow bad and has a profoundly adverse affect on world politics. Oh yeah, it was also super culty with articles that continuously praise LaRouche for being some world-historic genius who presumably took up the intellectual mantle of Leibniz.
It was some wild shit lol
no unless you count maybe 10000 deranged twitter accounts as a large following
Until these cults start blowing shit up and shooting people, I will continue to not take them seriously
Black Hammer killed someone and Ghazi might be a rapist
the pivot to becoming LaRouchites was so predictable. Maupin himself was pushing this shit years ago. LaRouche hated the USSR and took credit for the Reaganite SDI shit, and was working with the KKK and the CIA. you can see a good picture of why patsoc's would eventually trend towards this bullshit. easy work for the feds when US hegemony is central to these movements
his most popular book is about how v**sh is an imperialist :heartbreaking:
Berets: The only headgear that enhances either your own goofiness or your own coolness. (I feel like it's not doing the latter here).
You need to be holding a gun. Beret + gun = cool. Beret - gun = francophile at best. Beret + balaclava + gun = extra cool
It can be any number of accessories. Beret + cigar + gun = extra cool. Beret + large cat + gun = extra cool.
Amerikkkan flag, 1945 Victory Banner, PRC flag, Z sign, and a
tsaristDPR flag.. :jesse-wtf:is this some unironic nazbol shit?
they should just go all in and buy a bunch of :corn-man-khrush:-era Aeroflot uniforms
I don't think the Z should be compatible with any leftist ideology but maybe the patsocs know something I don't
Which cosplay convention is this? Their outfits are really low effort.
These are the guys calling you an ultra on the internet for uttering the smallest criticism of Assad.
I miss zposter. Yeah I get why he was banned and it's fair, but I want his input on this.
But westoid is a good word, I think I've used it to. Westoid, rightoid, wokoid, all sound good and convey what I mean without relying on ableism or any other bigotry like other common insults do.
It's kinda intentional, the origin being so evil/silly is what makes it funny. Depends on your tolerance for reclaimed terminology I suppose
As long as he doesn't do the thing that actually got him banned, and doesn't start arguments over Syria or the Kurds - since that's like his signature position - to identify his account, he'll be left alone
Well the China and Taiwan argument was great :bait: too, so who knows maybe he already came out swinging somewhere... :sus-deep:
I sure hope so. He said some stupid stuff, and his bad behavior earned a ban for sure, but I think he really added something to the discussion.
