I'm hoping they still are, since they probably still exist in real life?
How tf do you even do that anymore? I know my experience is they want a phone number and reject anything that isn't an actual cell phone or google voice account. And I waited the 3 fucking months it takes to get a new voice number but twitter just instantly banned the new account before I even had a chance to follow people. Y'all are just making new accounts??
Last time I was on Twitter I used a Google voice account I got for a dollar (can be used at other places too I use it for my secondary whatsapp) . But yea, the phone number shit is annoying.
Looked at the comments and there's an anarchist shit talking Cuba and Nicaragua. I already spent yesterday railing against NATO leftists and spent today arguing with Guatemalan nationalists through a Whatsapp group chat.
I'll just say that the DSA International Committee was based and shouldn't have been suspended.
there’s an anarchist shit talking Cuba and Nicaragua.
"anarchist".
I am once again asking people to stop taking these dumb fucks as representatives of anarchism.
That's like if I were to dunk on Haz and use him as a representative of all MLs.
Just stop.
punk-ML
That's just me. Well, heavy metal ML, but I used to be in a punk band.
Im more of a experimental jazz ML but to each their own I guess
First of all "sub" lol :reddit-logo:
Second of all, most of the time someone posts stuff like what I replied to it's the most asinine lib brain shit imaginable being pegged to anarchism and usually has little to do with an actual anarchist critique of a state.
Okay but the op was extremely vague and this just comes off as someone trying to shit on anarchism, your post included.
I'm not calling anyone fake anarchist I am saying that unless you have a specific issue with a take, just saying "I saw anarchists talking shit" comes off as needless sectarianism.
What "anarchist" what "shit" are they talking? Like without defining either of those two things it's just mindless sectarianism.
criticism of states = reasonable
aes exactly as bad as america (or worse)? = fake bullshit
I used to subscribe to the anarchist line but the more i thought about how states were criticised there wasnt a whole lot of substance there compared to the utility a functional state brings to the implementation of communism . Couple that with how often self proclaimed leftists who are either just calling themselves leftists or anarchists habitually and non-productively jeer at socialism that has actually existed and/or still exists and i am now fully with the ML tendency from delving down the theory rabbit hole. Not to say any of it actually matters until well into things getting hot in a revolution-shaped fashion, but it's painful seeing good hearted people not being principled about their ideology
I like the one who thought Raul is still the president of Cuba. Like dude if you're going to talk shit at least do the bare minimum of research.
Any idea what they were suspended for? I assume they went against the orthodoxy on Ukraine but people in that threat have accused them of damn near everything.
It looks like Ukraine is the most consistent complaint they have so probably that
One naysayer self describes as a "Semi-professional prediction market trader, anarchist", which is a new one for me.
That's newspeak for libertarian.
They have been working on fully coopting the term anarchist for a while. Dropping the "cap" from ancap and abusing it the same way fascists abused the word socialism.
It's funny because from what I remember "Libertarian" was the OG term for Anarchists in Europe and Anarchist became popular later. And the American Libertarians are these bizarre cursed mutants that coopted the name at some point in the first half of the 20th and have been trying to convince people that no really we're definitely real anarchists since then.
Why? Something on Ukraine?
Kinda wild, I haven't seen anything remotely worth suspension over.
I mean it's a private company, they don't have to justify anything. Who cares if a bunch of socialist tankies get blocked?
So apparently a ton of NAFO people made fake accounts impersonating the IC, which is what we think got the account. There is also a ton of Iranians mad at us for not putting out a statement. Regardless, just keep @ing twitter and report the fake accounts. We'll get it back. Help deal with the weirdos in the comments.
