Don't wanna dox myself, but I'll give some background.
I've held revolutionary views for a while now, but I lived in a white suburban town where engaging in any praxis basically required driving a half hour. Until I moved to an urban environment, I hardly did anything besides volunteer at a soup kitchen a handful of times...hardly what I'd call "organizing"
Without proximity to a population center, opportunities are hard to find in an area with exclusively chuds & PMC libs.
You have more faith in people than me. I think this community may provide enough catharsis that they never seek out organizing opportunities. I would wager about 50% of people here do irl organizing. I see too many dumbass posts here that instantly make me believe the poster has never been outside even once.
For me this is a socialist non-sectarian shitposting community that is not exclusively about the politics, nothing more.
That's how I view it too, but I don't think facilitating outreach with people on the ground hurts in any regard.

That's true, but then people don't really have the option and I don't expect them to do so.
I think that most of the people here who have access to local orgs are engaged in them, so I don't think getting orgs here is a goal we should have.
