      between the Twitter "okta leak" yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy here.

      We also need to work on some comm name literacy here too since some people need to learn how to differentiate between posting unsubstantiated info to a news comm vs posting ubsubstantiated info to the shitposting comm sicko-satan (joking? lol)

      although I should probably look into talking about adding 'no posting unsubstantiated news' to the rules list too now that I think about it

          this side of Maoist Twitter is practically devoted to giving these guys publicity with their 24/7 speculation I wish they would just pause a few hours to fully investigate and also question if they should be spending all of their time arguing with feds, something these very feds are telling them to do

      EDIT: Looked it up and almost every says it's usually 1-3 hours. In the WORST case scenarios it's 24-48 hours.

            he was a wannabe cult leader, in a cult already being led. he was disposed of, and now plays around with other side characters. There are so many allegations at this point against so many people that I highly doubt any accusations against Maupin in particular played a role in this. He's not built to be the grandiose vision he manufactured for himself in the reflection of Lyndon LaRouche

          Well, large for a US communist party is tiny is what I meant. They're largely limited to major cities and have a hard time even getting ballot access in a lot of states. Pretty sure the post-2016 swell in DSA membership dwarfed them even though PSL is a much more ideologically coherent org that practices democratic centralism.

                It's a pretty great way to get an excuse to talk to average people in terms they are prepared to understand, ie electoral politics. The goal isn't, like, to build socialism by becoming president lol

                      I think electoralism inherently devalues our position while allowing easy narrative cooptation by the system.

                        The PSL's strategy is not electoralism, though. It's a tactic for demonstrating the bankruptcy of USAmerican "democracy". I promise you, every conversation is about outreach and teaching, not about trying to win office.

                        If the PSL and the Claudia de la Cruz campaign are brought up in conversations about third party voting, even if the narrative is about "throwing a vote away" or whatever, I don't think that's devaluing the position and coopting a narrative. The alternative was having the same conversation without the PSL being brought up at all. However, now once we are in the conversation, we get the chance to educate about alternative methods of political organizing and engagement.

      Whoa wtf theres bitcoin domains from 2011.

      According to Bitcoin Return Calculator: Analyze Your Bitcoin Investment, if you bought $100 of bitcoin in June 2011 when bitcoinwallet.us (#23 on that list) or bitcoinx.us (#12) was registered, it would now be worth $4,163,674.

      Is this just a search of anyone who registered a domain and called themselves "b gerber"? It seems kind of non specific.
