There was a circlejerk thread here about how this site has more users than raddle.
That was my doing. I'll own that, and I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings. It was more specifically a jab at Ziq, who had been trash talking this project and the people who spent the past year and a half working on it. For someone who personally invested weeks trying to get this thing off the ground, it was a milestone I enjoyed passing, even if it was incredibly petty.
No, if you see an "anarchist" in the wild (like reddit), they're too busy bashing MLs with libs and ancaps (at least they don't side with fasc scum, yet). Anyways, all I'm asking for is for them to stop agreeing with every little bit of CIA propaganda - but they don't realize they can both hate China and still be critical of the imperialist media machine and how it is never in the media's best interest to represent the truth about countries that pose a threat to western hegemony
idk i frequently visit r/anarchism and ML bashing posts are not at all as frequent as you try to make it out.
You can be critical of China and the imperialist media machine but whenever someone mentions anything bad about China or Lenin for example (see Nathan Robinson) they get mobbed because the communist meme man/meme state is saint and also Adrian Zenz is a cultist or whatever. And also what is the guarantee that Chinese media tells the truth? They're also fighting for hegemony, they're a global superpower, they're imperialist as well and a lot of leftists are (for a good reason) questioning if they're socialists at all because they're deeply embedded into the system of global capitalism.
"MLs push for left unity (or left solidarity)"
Yes, hence the post.
"and anarchists can’t even keep their criticism contained to left-only spaces"
Like Chapo.chat or reddit's anarchism forum? There was a circlejerk thread here about how this site has more users than raddle.

I wasn't aware of that part of the story and it sure seems like petty internet drama.

Both of the following can be (and are, in fact) true:
China does bad things
Adrian Zenz is a literal cultist
We agree on both.
