you are being mind-shatteringly serious about a joke. do you not understand what jokes are? i have not claimed anything to do with Settlers other than a familiarity with the general contents. to make a joke. you're posting to a lot of people that they need to read another pamphlet and talking about who all is a fed, which is a wild thing to do so seriously about a joke. it's not that i necessarily agree with you or not, i just don't think you understand the current location you're in. i think that Settlers is flawed and that i'm not well-read enough to attempt any form of organized sectarian resistance to american empire from within. i personally have distaste for Maoist/tw rejection of aes countries. but i made a joke about settlers because it's a meme. again, not sure if you know what jokes are because you seem to be thinking that i genuinely believe that fascists are afraid of settlers. i do not. that is why it's a joke to say that they are. because they make a lot of noise as if they are. which is how jokes work.
None of this analysis is actually predicated on the fixation "patsocs" have on Settlers. It is just one angle from which we can discuss their need to draw people into online feuds to gain notoriety, and their factual links to the compatible left in the US, like how Pettis used to be a Maoist, but there are oodles of examples. I just use it as a springboard, I used another random comment in the other thread about this.
Writing these people off with inaccurate and simultaneously sensationalist + downplaying descriptions doesn't help. I think Ben Norton has the best strategy for dealing with their attacks. Ignore them except for one recent response video.
Settlers has its own interesting history but I'd rather not get into that either. My point is these guys are not so different from orgs posted around here and that's not a good sign haha
yeah sure, i personally am doubtful of any particular org posted around here. this is an anonymous forum populated by internet shitposters that like communism and trans people and hate general reactionary sentiments and actions. sectarianism doesn't fly here; this isn't a suitable place to organize or i think to make serious defences of any particular us "communist" org. i personally think that any openly communist org of any size is in some way captured because of the general violence imposed by the american empire. but people who are sectarian usually get banned soon enough. the user you're being compared to, u/blackmoldfutures was famous for posting rants about "DSA Karens" that were a bit too explicitly anti ancom to really fly. there's a high likelihood it was a bit, but no one can be too sure, might have just been someone a bit too cranky to understand effective text communication. this is a small site though, people here posting about it is effectively ignoring it for most of us.
i would recommend trying to avoid posting too seriously in the more meme oriented subs. there are absolutely locations for serious discussion and a tolerance towards trying to direct people towards it from things like the megathreads, like c/effort. the reading group as well. u/bmf was a classic, i have personal sympathy towards light-hearted ML-flavor shitposting about the "DSA Karens that are scared to eat the bugs."
Bugs aren't even worse than normal meat if you look at the fat and protein content. Beans have more protein than most of the meats these hogs shove in their mouths, and antinutrients can only affect like 5% absorption

I went a little "DSA Karen" in these replies. Maybe I can summon them again if they remain AWOL
