    One of my last posts from the subreddit was:

    I've seen things, you liberals wouldn't believe

    Twitter screenshots on every page

    I've watched a pig with poop on his massive balls

    All those posts will be lost in time.

      My last comment was in reply to someone saying that we wouldn't get banned because if they were going to they already would've and that TD definitely wouldn't get banned because it's senseless, as the users all jumped ship months before. I said that it being senseless is exactly why it'll probably happen, that way they could use it as an excuse to crush the most active leftist subreddit, without actually pissing off the right.

      I hate being correct so much.

    When the history books mention the causes of these protests, I bet none of them will acknowledge me, a poster who upvoted the lenin picture after super tuesday

    I have always been based

      On the list of funny scenarios, Biden winning but RGB being replaced beforehand is up there.

      P.S. pls pin the megathread i need reddit karma to reaffirm my political beliefs

      I love reading through this. Its like im going through an old diary

      Bernies campaign FAILED by refusing to pinkpill Bernie. Bimbo Sanders would have out-idpol'ed everyone and won the primary.

      Ive spent half my afternoon scrolling through old posts like the narcissist I am. Most of my posts hold up, although I was really expecting America to collapse back then. Ive almost scrolled to pre-corona posts, gonna be pretty interesting to see

      It does, I just am not sure where it displays. It must have the info because it has a karma threshold input field for searching, and it works

    Fuck me I just looked at the first posts when I first found the sub and was beginning to be de-libbified, why was I such a lib holy shit goddamn. Truly humbling. I don't deserve to post on here.

    CONTENT WARNING: Liberalism

    It contained

    spoiler

    Warren apologia when she applauded the destruction of socialism ughhhh

    EDIT: Oh god fucking fuck it gets worse.

        I promise you that is MILES better than the bullshit I was on about.

        I don't even think Warren stanning is the dumb part, it's just the complete lack of materialism.

        But this actually presents a really interesting idea - what shifted me hardcore to the left was not the memes about John Brown or anything, it was the "read theory" memes. I was like pff okay since you're all going on about this sure, I'll read this "manifesto" thing and this "Lenin" guy just so I can dunk on u tankies.

        Though honestly the Bolivian coup was a big one factor as well.

            It took me a solid few months of posting daily & talking to my DSA homies to get anywhere near there.

              it was just me mirroring what I saw, trying on the persona of the dirtbag left tbh

              pretty quick I decided I could lose the dirtbag and keep the left and be happy as a clam :)
