Most of you are MLs right? Did you do a patsoc purge? Probably.
I'm surprised at such the large userbase, we have around 300-500 active in total. (don't really take my word for it)
I'm @Adoraism-Stalinism on Lemmygrad.ml btw if you want to verify
How do you use these amazing emotes? There seems to be a wide range of them!
you can just type a : and they autofill
if you hover over one someone's posted, it tells you what to typeI see :lea-smug:
:galaxy-brain: This knowledge has given me unfathomable power. I will think of you as I rule this universe, and thank you for being apart of my great enlightenment
Also, when you're typing up a new comment or reply there's the little smiley face button on the bottom right of the comment field, you can use that window to search and browse emojis that way too! (all of the custom ones are on the far right tab marked with an asterisk.)
E)

We purged the gorilla man himself when he came here to promote his youtube channel
I see it now!!! :zizek-joy: :josus-stalin: :penguin-dance: I am filled with great joy

:che-smile: Good fucking riddance.
:bottom-speak:
that's the best one :crush:
Also I'm the actual Obama, I post here about cute guys :obama-drone:

Wait really? Damn I missed this
This was while ago, before he blew up.
The account name wasn't "Haz" or anything like that so you can't say with certainty it was him, but all they posted were infrared youtube videos and weird anti-weed comments so :vivian-shrug:
:data-laughing: omg i had no recollection of a person posting 'haz' but i do remember the anti-weed guy lmao lmao. same dude? what a fucking dweeb
:che-poggers: I had no idea that was a thing, this whole time I've been combing through this page every time I need to find one I don't know the name of
Good luck learning all of them. There are hundreds and no one remembers more than like half of them because we gave them all silly names :the-doohickey:
:no-copyright:
Other pro tips: Use the pound sign before post to make BIG emoji
patsocs haven't really taken root here. i think we're culturally too invested in chud-dunking to want to try to emulate them.
also we have a small but annoying anarchist faction, of which i am a member.
hope we can get federation Someday(tm)
Annoying leftist unity lemme hear it for my annoying Marxist comrades
Time for a 15 paragraph reply that starts on topic and ends on something about the productive capacity of the legume industry in Argentina
Most of us are MLs, yeah, but factionalism is generally regarded to be pretty :cringe: here, this is a meant to be a pan-leftist space.
(Of course that does not include patsocs lol why would it)
Most of the people with explicit politics are MLs, but ime, anarchist leaning demsocs are the majority.
I don't think we ever had to do a patsoc purge, which is pretty interesting since it means they must have all been purged in the previous struggle sessions. Tells you something about them.
Oh lemmygrad had a mini conflict over this lol. We found them pretty quick though. :stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2: I fucking love these emotes
Welcome comrade! Our collection of sickos is second to none :sicko-wholesome: :sicko-pig: :sicko-hexbear:
You can hide hyperlinks in them too if you make them the text of the link :sicko-yes:
As embarrassing as our early days could be, that probably made the PatSoc people decide we aren't worth it or something.
For whatever reason, the online Chapo 'fanbase' has never really been the quasi-marxian demsocs of the podcast. It's mostly always been tankies, as long as I've known. This is where that subreddit moved to. It was also kind of the only good left sub at the time, the way GZD was more recently.
Oh there was still a good amount of struggling over China on the old sub. /r/moretankiechapo started for a reason, after all
Nah old sub was majority demsoc or libsoc varieties maybe until some months before we got nuked
yea I would say the sub got increasingly more tankie during the 2020 primary cycle as they ratfucked Bernie in slow motion
The subreddit 2020 primaries meme of
"Where did that bring you? Back to me :lenin-shining: "
definitely did, in fact, bring be back to Lenin, as I'm sure it did for many others back then
Yup. I will never forget it. I would have gone down this path regardless after Super Tuesday, but it so happened that seeing that post was the moment I gave up on electoralism. I wonder if whomever posted that knows how many people were affected by that fucking Avengers meme.
Just a liberal? I thought ML stood for Maximum Liberal?
Oh I loved that episode of the Simpsons with Max Liberal. Funny stuff. 🎶 Max Liberal....he's the man you love to touch...
All those times I thought combat liberalism meant to fight as a liberal and not fighting liberalism :dont-laugh:
I’m pretty sure the practice of banning for transphobia, racism, sexism, etc took out any would-be PatSocs before that “movement” even sprouted up. This site is well modded.
Welcome comrade! We didn't have a patsoc purge because they've already been laughed out of the site in previous purges. Our biggest purge thus far came pretty early on, @TransComrade69 took care of eradicating the transphobe menace. :trans-dagger: :stfu-terf:
Since then we've had smaller purges but it's pretty smooth sailing over head aside from the odd vegan struggle session.
We like to listen to both sides: Marxism-Leninism and Anarcho-Communism. :)
Trots too, though I don't see a lot around here they're probably busy selling newspapers
Trots and Tankies are natural enemies. Like AnComs and Trots. Or SocDems and Trots. Or Trots and Other Trots. :groundskeeper-willie:
Like FR, I think the trotskyists are worse than trotsky
Im fine with the anarchists if they hate Capitalism more than historic socialism
Where are the strange liberals, charm liberals, truth liberals, and beauty liberals? That's what I want to know.
i dont understand why patsocs have been so notable lately. i feel like i hadn't heard about them at all until recently
also, Hi There!
Because they brigade shit a lot. They have a discord where they organize it. That's it. It's a puny group but they can swarm internet spaces and that's all it takes to give a big impression on most of the internet.
Hey, don't minimize the threat. They also have a telegram, so you know they're serious
Organization is a force multiplier, even if it's being done by people as cringey as patsocs.
no youre supposed to pat Socks, they love it when people do that
Hello! I'm the site's official corgi. I sometimes steal my human's laptop and post. Welcome!
I'd guess that most of the users are MLs (or adjacent) but this is an anti-sectarian site, so no anti-Anarchist posting.
I would just like to say, it's super cute that there's a 160 comment thread for a new poster saying hi.
I didn't think I would get more than like 5 replies saying "sup". This is unprecedented, but much appreciated!
Having been here fro. The r/chapo banning origins, its become just a nice place to be online. Everyone is leftist but the content doesn't have to be all about leftist dtuff necessarily, you can just be openly a commie and joke around and not be debate bro'd. It's like just an old school sorta message board but everyone is assumed left by default so you can relax and do an internet like normal people do. If there's anything I can give this place credit for is you can be yourself and a leftist instead of posting as a representative of the left.
Its something I like about Lemmygrad, and now here! Lemmygrad still needs some content boosting, but its really getting there! I love the vibe of this place. I may hang around a bit every so often.
Lemmygrad is cool and I was there for a bit, as I just posted in another reply, this isbmore just like, a fun place to be qhwre you don't have to Act Like a Leftist, it's just assumed you're cool and you get to enjoy the internet without being forced to debate libs constantly. There's also for real politics stuff but it's a "Safe Space" in a way however much the term sucks to use, but there is a relatively deal community aspect here that is lacking in other leftist online circles where people seem to have to put on an air.
