They think making fun of minorities but supporting leftist economic causes makes them "punx" or whatever.

Straight up pieces of shit.

I dont understand why we tolerated them among us for so long on the old subreddit

    Who could have possibly predicted that setting up a "socialist" subreddit specifically oriented on critiquing identity politics would end in it becoming a haven for reactionary dipshits.

    It's a dang mystery I tells ya.

      Its two founders, crab boy and gucci, were both insufferable reactionary dipshits and the worst posters on the old sub. They explicitly set out to create a safe space for reactionary dipshits like themselves, that was always both the inevitable end state and their intended objective.

      It took way too long for the old sub to purge them, I think it only happened towards the end after the reddit-logo admins had started targeting the sub and its mods.

      I wouldn't have predicted it because the pro-idPol "socialist" equivalent to them are all massive zionists now.

        Sure, but the point is that trying to set up something like that on reddit was doomed to fail from the start.

    They're just reactionaries that like weed and maybe free college.

    Tiresome, selfish, irony-poisoned edgelords.

      You know how if you dig deep enough on tumblr, you can find someone who, by combining the language of intersectional feminism with sniffing their own farts, has found a way to argue... I don't know, white people having houseplants that don't originate from Europe is actually cultural appropriation?

      What if we dedicated an entire forum to finding and mocking people like that, from a nominally leftist position, so we can justify class reductionism? Then we could act really surprised when nazis join in too, but fail to do much about it, and just become a nazi forum that sometimes complains about capitalism. Welcome to stupidpol.

        Once I went over to /leftypol/ and fired off a post to see what would happen. I got one normal reply and one literal Nazi it was awesome.

        They did remove the Nazi post tbf

      It was a sub for leftists who were overly critical of identity politics (idpol), basically class reductionists. A lot of them (all?) used it as an excuse to not analyze some racist biases they probably grew up with and as happens all the time, when poc called them out on it it activated their hitler gene and they doubled down to the point of being pretty damn racist usually lol

      The old CTH sub and them would beef pretty regularly before it got banned lol

      Haven for cracker 'leftists' who'd sooner go to bat for the likes of Jackson Hinkle or Infra before they'd ever consider their place as a settler or the prospect of liberating Amerikan slaves
