I always feel like I'm hanging out in a punk/hardcore music scene (various anarchist groups, psl to some extent) or with lame improv nerds (dsa). I don't see either of these groups connecting with very many working class people. This is obviously a huge problem but (at least where I am) there is very little attempt to organize or recruit people making minimum wage, fast food workers, service industry, manual laborers etc. I mean shouldn't this be the main priority right now? I don't know I'm just venting but I'm baffled by how bad at organizing these groups are. Do they really just like being this cliquey group that is hard to get into and that's what really matters?

        They admitted it wasn't perfect wording but I am being so rude about this because your interpretation of their post is imo so much stranger. It isn't even so much a matter of linguistic clarity as it is treating each other with even a tiny bit of good faith. If both interpretations are equally valid (they literally aren't) then everyone chose the bad faith one and then decided to be shitty about it. Not me. I chose to think the very best of my fellow poster and be shitty to everyone else
