Honestly once you get past her first response where she talks about the subreddit she never visited, most of the rest of her takes on the issue were pretty sound.
I don’t think anything about the Internet is fair. Why would it be? It’s capitalist media. It’s naive to expect otherwise. I literally don’t care about reddit, nor do I believe that the internet can be relied upon as any medium for left movement-building. It’s not a democratically controlled industry; it’s barely subject to law. You might as well be talking about Exxon mobile not being “fair.”
I don't disagree with this entirely, but the right is spreading a mind disease of bigoted nihilism and self worship, combined with aggressively pushing traditions everyone knows, so their internet outreach is fundamentally compatible with online culture to begin with.
It is much more difficult to pull people left because we have actually have expectations, are trying to build a movement, and are trying to teach people things that run completely counter to everything they've ever learned.
It literally is the difference between education and indoctrination.
Plus, they're mainly trying to do stochastic terrorism, which is the main thing internet radicalization actually accomplishes. I'm not completely against that if people start picking the right targets. But left wing radicalization is based on the idea that things don't have to be this way, which is a personal, rational appeal that's hard to pivot into a desire to martyr yourself for a better future, let alone join an organized movement that currently doesn't exist.
She's not wrong about that. What infuriated me about the last premium episode (Amber wasn't on it and I have to assume she would have had similar objections), they're going on about how censoring the NYP story or entrapment of the fash that tried to kidnap Whitmer are bad things and we shouldn't enjoy them because they'll use that precedence against us. It's like, motherfucker you're bringing up the Panama Papers as an example of something they might censor in the future, while the vast majority of Americans have no idea what that is and they planted a fucking bomb in one of the researcher's car. While they're saying this the nyt is publishing that piece admitting the cops committed a hit on that antifa guy and Trump is bragging about it. PRECEDENCE WILL ALWAYS BE CREATED TO STOP LEFTIST ADVANCEMENT, THAT'S WHY THE FUCKING APPARATUSES OF STATE WERE BUILT IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE.
Absolutely silly. It's like chastising a bear for enjoying watching a hunter get stuck in a bear trap, because then you might get caught. Like the fucking iron ore was pulled from the earth and smelted into the shape of a bear trap SOLELY to catch me, there's no alternative reality where that's not explicitly the reason for doing this. But I can find it amusing when the wrong dumbass gets stuck in a trap that was laid for me.
