Since this is at the top of active, take notes on how the alt-right radicalizes casuals. We could stand to learn a thing or two on how they reached casual right-wingers to help us with radicalizing liberals. :P

    I see this stinky take entirely too often. Say what you want, but the internet can revolutionize the way the left organizes, spreads resourceful information, and supports each other. The right used the internet as a tool to radicalize normies and forward their own causes and it's high time we take a page from their book. Sometimes posting is activism if that's all you can do. I was radicalized by trans memes and stumbling into this community only a year and a half ago. Now I'm shooting to get people involved in the mutual aid community here that has already raised $930, on top of the other $5,000-ish raised on the Discord. Sure that may not be a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but every cent that goes to improving the material conditions of others is objectively good.

    You do what you can to support our cause.

      It's why I'm here. This shit could straight up change the goddamn world if it plays out right.

      Or it could just be the internet's dive bar

        We have to stop scolding leftists for being terminally online and start romanticizing the creation of mutual aid networks and the radicalization of normies with the internet as a tool to accomplish those things.
