    I mean that's kind of what cth and the entire "dirtbag left" movement was about in the first place. Leftists who are more or less normal people with all the flaws that come with that. people who aren't afraid to engage the chuds on their level.

    there is, of course, a question of whether that actually ever had any value. i think this site is kind of an experiment in pushing that crowd to self-reflect, grow, and stop being quite so edgy and juvenile. im not sure its working. but we shall see

      It kind of seems like the results of that experiment are most of the “edgy” type leftists not sticking around, and the site turning into the sort of insular “carelord” haven that the original dirtbag people were rebelling against.

      To be clear, there is certainly a place for that type of community, especially as leftist politics are pushed off of Reddit and Facebook. It’s just not at all like the community it sprang from. Interestingly, a sort of inverse phenomenon happened to the cumtown subreddit when it was kicked off Reddit, it immediately became a pol-tier garbage fire.
