I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

      See, this is why people have problems with ML and hexbears. How will you ever bring the revolution when you can’t stop screeching? Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to be around it. You’ll be a revolution of one because nobody can take being around such an abrasive asshole long enough to even listen to their points, much less realize they might be right.

      Imagine somebody walking down the street. They see a poster on the wall of the store they pass. It’s a Starbucks. “Looks tasty, I’m cold” they say. Suddenly, you’re there, shrieking about labor rights and fair trade. You are without a doubt correct, but you’ve scared the person and now they’re annoyed. One of those drones inside with the green hats comes out and sees the situation. They ask the customer to come inside where they’re safe from you, and now they’re buying overpriced drinks from exploited workers produced by exploited farmers etc.

      All because instead of talking to someone like a human, you had to be edgy and witty. You treat real humans the way tv characters talk to each other. On TV the wittiest oneo-liner wins. In real life you have to show a little human compassion, even if you’re faking it or else you alienate who you’re talking to and are left in an echo chamber, alone, or in the case of our imagined scenario the employees may call security or police (agents of oppression, and they’ll probably buy coffee too) on a person harassing potential customers.

        Nobody wants to listen to fucking individualist capitalist dronies who cannot summon a critical thought of their own, or have any awareness or empathy for society, or prosperous desires for all.

        Go watch some fantasy TV show or movie, maybe Marvel will give you hope of Amerikkka making the world a great place, as they continue to feed you with McDonalds burgers, Coke, fries and free Netflix and Amazon Prime vouchers. Keep lovin’ and livin’ the good ol’ bread and circus in ignorance.

          The only way leftist will win any political ground is by winning allies

          Screaming down every person who you have a disagreement with politically will only solidify their dislike for the people you claim to represent

          It’s funny to me seeing you claim that the other people lack awareness and empathy when you seemingly fail to grasp that people don’t enjoy the way you are portraying your political views

            I think I have a lot better grasp of the amount of shit I should give for Anglos, considering USA and UK tried to nuke India back in the 70s and Russia saved us. Also, I have Syrian and Palestinian friends, thanks to whom I actually know how devilish Europe has been. Studying Chinese history of Opium Wars I and II was just cherry on top of the cake. Did I forget to mention Asian countries continue to have border conflicts with each other, because genocidal British colonisers decided to draw lines on map in certain ways?

            Anglos literally do not deserve alliance; I’d sooner ally with an Iranian, a North Korean, or a Palestinian than the likes of you and yours. I do not think ‘hearts and minds’ dealing with you skullduggerous swine; I think ‘existential enemy’.

            EDIT: lmao 🦀

          It’s vital to approach such an individual with compassion.

          You’re are likely trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts and might not see the error in your ways. Holding grudges only leads to bitterness, so it’s noble to leave the door open for forgiveness and change.

            Your account is exclusively made 8 hours ago to smear me, having just 5 comments, all targeted towards me. You are sent by GrapheneOS/Daniel Micay to do this, to manufacture unsubstantiated drivel about me, even though the discussion is regarding geopolitics, when that clown called me a “Chinese government paid agent” and “CCP agent” on Reddit and Twitter.

                It would be, if there was no history if Daniel Micay/GrapheneOS behind it. This NPD asshole has lied about everyone for years and even accused r/privacy moderators, random redditors, people like me and Louis Rossmann of being complicit in an attempt to swat and murder him, and gave no evidence for it since April 2023 (6 months). He and his acolytes go around labelling developers of FOSS projects (FlorisBoard, Bromite) with “neonazis” and other epithets.

                He fabricates bogus shit to malign people in order to gain popularity for his Android fork project, then when people point it out, he sends his acolytes or utilises alt accounts to defame their targets.

                His account is made 10ish hours ago, and all comments are directed towards me. If you used 2 brain cells, you would find it extremely fishy.
