I actually think communists should get much better at doing this – absorbing and coopting things.
yea I'm not sure why so many leftists are so triggered by shit like pepe. It's literally just a general meme that got coopted by wignats, just like "based" and everything else
We decide X is "bad" and then you're bad if you do it or use it.
There are certain elements of this whole lark that the far right understand better than us. The whole "ride the kali yuga" shit is fascist cringe but there is a nugget of value to pull out of it and adopt within the left and that is to figure out how to go with the flow, how to absorb things, how to accept certain elements of the left being messy if it advances the overall more immediate goals of the left. We can fix a lot of bullshit later if it advances us towards revolution in the meantime.
This is actually essential if we're going to get wider and mainstream.
