    Roderic is the one who should read more theory

    Specifically, Mao's "No Investigation, No Right To Speak"

    Roderic Day try to understand humour and dry sarcasm challenge: Impossible

    He's right about the laziness though lmao, but he fits in because he didn't bother to check whether we're not all yanks

    I think this place has the most encouragement to read theory I've ever seen, and I did an actual philosophy graduate degree.

        Yeah but if all you lazy shitposters turned this into a real org, then my lazy shitposting could be a worthwhile contribution to something meaningful

    "It's got good stuff, but mixed with memes and Redditism and laziness"

    that's what I'm here for mostly.

      Literally a space for leftists to hang out and be free from libs and chuds except the few that wander in from the wider fediverse. "Why doesn't the hippy drum circle at the park overthrow the federal reserve?"

    "this shitposting website is neat! why aren't we overthrowing the bourgeoisie together though??" is not an uncommon misunderstanding from new users

    Wasn't the "you actually have to x and y to learn z" just a bit?

    Also, does he not see the pinned Das Kapital reading megathread?

    And what does he expect the site to do, organize demonstrations in the public internet for feds and fascists to see?

          Very cool, very COMMUNIST! Thanks for responding!

          I'll message you privately so we can coordinate how far you're willing to to for real REVOLUTION and you can meet with me and some good friends at our Extremists Only Club!

      He probably sees those of us who fell behind and have yet to catch back up. In many ways, this is completely my fault. You'd think he'd notice I'm not from hexbear though.

    the conditions for creating a vanguard party don't really exist in the west, and he shouldn't expect a shitposting site to be able to do that. We're here to commiserate together and just fart around with fellow leftists.

    I would take this guy more seriously if he had any amount of engagement.

    We need a higher quality of critic. Is there any chance we can convince one of the Krassensteins to complain about this place?

      Noo, because if the libs find out about this place, all the fascist YouTubers will talk about us then we'll have an infinite amount of weird trolls constantly pouring in.
