Hello all, I've been lurking here for about a week now, and from what I've seen so far, this site is absolutely fucking fantastic. This site's whole... aesthetic, for lack of a better term is perfection. It reminds me quite a bit of aesthetics used by 4chan and the alt-right during 2016 (which is what the left needs to do - fix its image.) Maybe cringy sounding, but this site, from what I've seen, is almost reminiscient of punk rock. Like I love the little text blurb, "consensual gay sex with you dad" "a home for the terminally online" "Hillary Clinton fan club." That stuff is hilarious! And it's so snarky too, I don't know if this will come off as weird, but I really want to emphasize that I think this site has the perfect image for the left - snarky, edgy, funny, and rebellious. I'm really glad to see a lack of radlibs saying "go vOtE," and that awesome image for the megathread is perfect.
I Don't want to rant too much anymore, but I made a little banner that I think would look awesome. I must emphasize - this is an extremely rough draft, and I only made it for the purposes of a very rough example. It would be awesome if someone much more graphically talented than me could redo this design, and I would be thrilled if the mods would use my design for the site banner. Here it is -
(sorry i have no idea how to link images)
Anyway, the banner would basically be a juche logo at each end of the banner, followed by a Squirtle with sunglasses that has the anarchy symbol in the reflection, then Communist nyan cat, then the chapochat logo, then communist doge, then anime stalin (and then the juche logo again obviously)
I feel like that banner kinda gives off similar edgy sort of vibes that the alt-right did in 2016, and so I feel like it would help make people find the left cool again.
TLDR Hello, this site is awesome, and plz check out (and maybe remake) my banner.
This site is probably more likely to hamper the left by making people think posting is praxis.
BUT every now and then you get good, useful posts and it's still a million times better than reddit, though.
Yeah that'd be great. I actually think this place is usually super great and I'm just generally talking shit.

Idk it very clearly seems to be a joke
I'm taking it as sincere because, as a joke, it's not funny or well written.

He's literally saying that a banner with fuckin anime stalin and kulak doge would make people find "the left cool again". That obvious troll + 1 day old account with no comments makes me think this is just the cumtown discord guys fucking with you again.
It wasted a few minutes of my time, I'll live. I was actually trying to bait them with the "you seem incredibly sincere" because I was pretty sure it was a "joke" but I would rather not make fun of someone for writing a joke poorly if they weren't writing a joke.
lmao i dont know why everyone thought it was a bit im not usually this sincere lmfao
TBPH, I wasn't sure. Sometimes people write like this for less than nice reasons.

Seems too effusive to be real but I don't see an obvious punchline.

Horseshoe Theory confirmed.
damn you shouldve seen the sub. just liek this place but 15 times as many chronically online people
I'm going to assume it's not a bit and say I love the enthusiasm. I actually agree with almost all of the post except the banner, the goal here is to later re-open the lib to leftist pipeline that the subreddit had opened. An overtly communist and juche banner will get in the way of that. I'm guessing that's the part that's making most people think this is a bit because without that I think everyone would just be really welcoming and assume the rest was sincere.
I feel like the left's aversion to offending people really needs to go lmao, tons of kids become fucking neo nazis with shit like daily stormer which was posting gas chambers and swastikas every two seconds
like i said, embrace the shit the far-right did in the mid 2010s. put juche symbols, anarchy a's hamnmer and sickles - whatever edgy symbol that's also left-wing on everything.
Your username looks too much like "redditor" at a glance, and it makes me oddly sus. Vote blue.
