I'm more of a lurker here, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the spectrum of responses. At least personally, I'm copping to the ML bent here (same username) and telling people this community still has redeeming value, and I have people maligning me and telling me to log off? Wha-?
Are these people just suffering from lib brain, or am I missing something?
can the left please stop talking about China for five fucking seconds holy shit
In the real world, at a meeting of your local left org, it would be exceptional if they did talk about China for even five seconds. That's why this community is fucked long term. Xi Xinposting has no relationship to the actual needs/interests of the working class in the userbase's countries, nor even to the downwardly mobile young men who used to make up the core of the subreddit.
That's because there is no working class movement in the United States so people are grasping at what they can.
Well yeah, this is just a fun site to discuss politics and goof off casually, like a far-left 4chan basically (yeah ik bunkerchan exists stfu), it's not gonna start a revolution.
Counterpoint: 4chan and bunkerchan suck, because they are a circlejerk of a small number of navel-gazing weirdos. I don't want Chapochat to start the revolution, I just want it to get 100,000 users or so so the memes are better.
Yeah, i would like to get us to the same amount of users we had before the sub got banned, like 150k-200k iirc, that'd be pretty cool. and like my first post said (which people made fun of lol) i do think this site, and the pod, as silly as it sounds, does genuinely make the left seem "cool" or whatever again, like idk how to explain
4chan is a fuckin boring mess that I'm pretty sure is 50% bots spamming SEETHE COPE SEETHE COPE in every thread and 50% feds, but c'mon, bunkerchan is pretty alright. They gave us :le-pol-face:
