    Once again proposing my idea for a dating app called Cringe where you can filter by red flags you're willing to roll with

    Normal dating apps totally have this function you just put something like “Eat the rich” in your bio and that eliminates most of the chuds

    I saw a flyer on a light post yesterday that said "Are YOU a communist?!? Go to wwwdotsocialistrevolution.com and join today!" and I immediately thought, "wow feds are getting agro"

      I saw a flyer on a light post yesterday that said "Are YOU a communist?!?

      I saw those in New York and had to spend a minute trying to figure out if they were Avakianist cultists, trots, or CPUSA libs since they all decided to go with the same dumb recruiting blurb

        I saw some with that wording in Germany last summer, they were from the IMT, so trots in that case...

          Yeah IMT rebranded to "Revolutionary Communists of America". My tiktok won't stop spamming me with them.

              It's this group: https://socialistrevolution.org/

              Every single god damn tiktok I get is about buying their newspaper.

                They still sell newspapers because Lenin said that running a newspaper is important.
                If blogs are better overall then why didn't he mention them back a century ago, huh?

                And? Have you supported the cause by paying to read their revolutionary essays?

            having looked it up, I'm pretty positive it is that; the slogan is the exact same, and it has ties to the IMT. Then again, trots split so often that there is a possibility that this is a different sister group to whatever made the one I saw /s

              Do you have any recommendations on german orgs? The disadvantage of online radicalisation is it leaves the newly radicalised a bit stranded when they do wanna touch grass

                I'm not from Germany so I can't really say, since I haven't heard too much of any German orgs. I only knew of the IMT because they are also fairly present in France (if by "present" you mean "trying to sell their newspaper at any and all protests").

        Just you wait until a member of the IMT RCA walks onto your subway train trying to proselytize agitate.

          Yeah they were but the trots and CPUSA libs all run with the same dumb recruiting line

            Really? I genuinely wonder why. Could be a good pepe-silvia moment to say they fall under the same FBI program that distributed the same shitty idea to all of them.

            Which trot organization uses it? ISO?

              I think it came originally from IMT, I'm not too studied on trotskyite lore to be 100% positive so take it with a grain of salt but I'm positive the phrase originated from the trotskyite side of the left.

              I don't know about the other guys but I'm near certain cpusa started running that line around the end of last year because I remember coming across their shit and being confused about which trot org was trying to co-opt the cpusa hammer and gear and being more confused when it turned out it was cpusa trying to coopt trot language.

      "I'm Joe Brandon and I approve this message."

      "Mr. President - you refered to yourself as Joe Brandon."

      "No, I didn't. And if I did - it's because of the teleprompter."

      "There is no teleprompter."

      "I know that. I was testing everybody!"

    The logo is a joke that kangaroos are lefties, but is also a joke that inside the kangaroo there is a federal informant.

        At least in my area, hinge and bumble are pretty good for meeting people as a cis straight male. Being one of the few non chuds in my "red" California town probably helps me a lot.
