YOU are speaking!
Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?
Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.
Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.
Blackshirts and Reds remains 🔛🔝
It really is fantastic agitprop. It slips beyond the liberal shields like a slow knife in Dune.
What is the Blackshirts and Reds reading level? Seems to be a lot of agreement that we need theory that's written at a 6th grade level because that's where most American's reading skills are. I'm not entirely sure what htat means in terms of word choice and concepts, since I think what we're going for is present the concepts straight, but using language - words, sentence structures, things like that, that people whose reading skills aren't strong. Like, they're not stupid, they're lacking a particular skill, kind of thing.
I don't think it is a hard read and is quite short so it is rather quick (<160pgs). It isn't theory or a philosophical text. It is easy to read like any pop nonfiction book although the subject matter is sometimes hard to stomach.

I plugged a thousand random words from Blackshirts and Reds in to this thing and it says it's either at 12th grade or college graduate. That means we've immediately lost 50%-70% of Americans. We gotta get a vocabulary, sentence structure, and layout that's approachable with a 6th grade reading level to get to most Americans.
