I'm never going to forget LiberalSocialist's name specifically because of how they acted around AOC and the Union Strike. Like, it turned out the union she was listening to was completely unrelated to the railway unions and no response, no apology for being such a weirdo jerk in that thread.
And that wasn't even the first/last LiberalSocialist struggle session I've watched.
Its difficult to take someone for arguing in good faith when they in one post argue that there should be virtually no red line for withdrawing support for elected "socialists" and then in another start derisively questioning if people are real socialists because they are unconcerned with mainstream games journalism being threatened by AI.
Well of course it's low effort. Would you prefer he post high effort responses? He'd still be posting responses today. It's completely unreasonable to expect one person to commit the same amount of man-hours to a conversation that a hundred people are committing.
If you've ever been in the position of posting a spicy/bad take and having a hundred people expecting responses, it's a very stressful situation and there's no way to handle it without people thinking you're an asshole. It's fundamentally impossible to defend a position when the other side gets a hundred words for every one of yours. I'm not saying he handled the situation properly, but it's like, I don't think anyone dunking on him for how he handled it has ever been on the other side of that situation.

I don't think it's fair to expect individualized responses to everyone when there's literally hundreds of people replying to you.
