Does any of this really fuckin' matter at the end of the day?
Odds are, if we're being brutally honest here, none of us on the left, regardless of our faction, are gonna hold any significant power in our lifetimes anyway.

No, it doesn't actually matter. It's much like the old saw about "fights in academia being so furious because the stakes are so low". If a user here unleashes the most powerful dunk on socdems/tankies/anarchists ever recorded, it has the exact same impact on the real world as a fart into the wind.
I've posted before in a controversial opinions thread that no one who is currently in an org will have any significant impact if there's a revolution. We silo ourselves way more than we want to admit.
Having said all that, we still have to try.
