i dont have much nice to say about u/liberalsocialist so i wont say much, but their presence here was entertaining and ill miss having their posts that were rich with comments

our loss of u/ides_of_merch however is a true tragedy. i was always so excited to see their BMF-esque posts, they were perfect. they got banned for sectarianism but i think it was a misunderstanding :(

      I think they were the most successful wrecker the site's ever seen. Make a post saying some ridiculous, hostile, :jesse-wtf: bullshit and double and triple down until you've got a big ol' struggle session on your hands, then pretend to be sorry about it just enough to not get banned, then come back 2 days later and pull the exact same shit again. Gets a lil sus when it happens for the 7th time in a row.

        Libsoc helped me remember that even though this place is one of my favorite spots on the internet, it is still not to be taken too seriously.

        I would get some responses with the weirdest, contrarian takes, and I would get flustered and mad that someone had misinterpreted my point or why would someone postsnything that horrible... Then I'd look at the username and realize it was Libsoc, and just accepted it was their weird brand of posting.

      They seemed incredibly young and I was (and still am) hopeful their politics will grow as they experience and learn more.

        Based on their argument style and the substance of their rhetoric, it will not unless they actually have to work a shit job for years at some point in their life. There is and always was zero materialist analysis behind any of their posts, existing only within 'socialist' liberal moralizing and ultimatums.

        Funnigui posting for sure, but not coherent or leading to coherency in any sense. Zero meta-analysis or actual understanding of how people and systems actually function within the real world outside of their imagined headspace. The labeling of being opposed to being hyper-online as 'boomers' is really the icing on the idealism cake (after-all boomers are even more hyper-online in only interacting with content than gen-z, i.e. their taking over of Facebook). They will only ever post, and all posting does is feed the ravenous content beast inside your soul. Ever hungry, never learning.
