        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 :)
