What kind of electoralism is it, proletarian or bourgeois, idealist or materialist? Do they declare solidarity with the occupied third world, or do they sympathize with the naval gazing narcissism of the first world labor aristocracy?
The fact that Bad Faith believes "self driving cars are the future" and "we can go full clean energy without fossil fuels" tells us they're just merely woke liberals who don't know about the effects of resource extraction. How can you be a Marxist with less of an understanding of basic physics than papa Karl? It's impossible to be a materialist if you're as delusional as the Elon Musk death cult redditors
Given the fact that 10000 people on twitter viscerally hate BJG, the fact that this hasn't been shouted to the rooftops from there makes it pretty clear it's a distortion.
We need to clamp down on textbook wrecker shit like "this person who is very publicly trying to help is secretly awful, just trust me bro." People should have at least something to back that sort of accusation up.
No :freeze-peach: for utterly baseless attacks
Lol. I was a huge BFG stan until the Force the Vote thing. She has shown her ass on this one, she's not a socialist. She's a progressive liberal, and that's fine but I'm tired of sharing left spaces with progressive liberals.
You guys can hang out with the neoliberals, they are closer to you ideology. Stop trying to pretend to be us.
I have never once cared about any aspect of the force the vote campaign and you can't make me.
You're gonna make me tap the sign
Exactly and she's spent how long on it? Once she started with that, I was done listening to anything she put out. Her interview with Wolff was so painful to listen to because of her inability to accept she was wrong.
Also, you're going to have to start actually saying why you're a socialist, what it means to you, otherwise you are just a lib and your sign won't protect you.
Being wrong about a particular strategy or disagreeing with Richard Wolff are not red lines that disqualify anyone from the socialist left. I don't understand this notion that someone is obligated to accept they're wrong without understanding why. That's not how beliefs work, at least not my beliefs. I accept that I'm probably wrong about 90% of things, I still think all the things I think are correct. Otherwise I'd think something else.
From what?
Nobody knows who her boyfriend is because she’s not public about it. it seems like a weird thing to make up for needless internet points in a small site but do you
Uhhh, yeah.
You’re being a dick
I have an explicit carve-out for my annoyingly affected twee "nice to everyone and mails jam" personality that applies to people who without any self-awareness try to moralize what at a base level are trivial aesthetic considerations.
Well you did it. You were needlessly mean to make a point. Congrats. I used to think you were a really cool user here....
I mean isn't that pretty much exactly what you were saying is okay to do up thread? That is unironically how I read it.
Oh so you were rude in retaliation! Thanks! Makes so much sense now!
Let me see if I cant try this again with the annoying affectation back on.
I do genuinely think we should be a lot more charitable to people working to further the goals of leftist politics, even if we strongly disagree with their methods and takes, because in the end we're all fallible and could end up being wrong. So when I see perceive that charity is not being extended, either in a mean-spirited or gossipy sort of way (which is how I read your), it does raise my hackles.
I have unironically thought about it as a "no first use" type policy before, but then again I'm not sure about the wisdom of analogizing nuclear strategy to interpersonal conversations.
