You get attached to the most flippant remarks and skirt around the substantive things I have said to you. Goodbye!
mistermodal@lemmy.mlOPto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•I swear I have heard all the same rhetorical defenses of liberal protest strategies come out of homeopathic medicine quacks before0·6 hours agoLook, I’m not going to explain basic logic to you, because it looks like you have decided not to confront the history of the orgs you are telling me to join. Fortunately I actually can’t, I am lying about being in America still. If I was, though, you wouldn’t have a good point. Coming up with an effective theory of action is a prerequisite for anything. Clearly somebody hasn’t read their Lenin.
Do you get off on pretending to be knowledgable online? Go away and read about some of the things I corrected you on. No spoon feeding for you.

Get something real to care about. You must be some other variety of Anglo. I am not your sibling in Christ, perhaps you can find some of them among these hordes of liberal protestant atheoids.

If anyone fucks this up it is the 40% of Americans who aren’t turbohogs I have zero hope get out of there man

You mean like many of the orgs showing up to this actually are? Who do you think Brian Becker (PSL) and Kshama Sawant (SAlt) are? As for the FRSO I already mentioned in another comment, their leadership picks and chooses when to use their congressional connections to get student protestors out of hot water while the prisoners they used as mascots languish for years. All of these orgs are open to people who busted down doors in night raids in Iraq. I know this really hard for you guys to understand, but to people with a functioning friend-enemy distinction, Mike Prysner is as bad as a “repentant” IDF soldier joining the group. America maintains multiple fronts of genocide and asking for more treats - sorry I mean New Deal benefits - nonviolently shows you don’t even consider your complicity an issue.
You really thought you did something. I did not realize the jokes about PSL members not realizing it was a Trotskyist org were so on point, but you’re probably just an online cheerleader anyways. Maybe it’s time to stop assuming everyone who knows more than you is on a secret mission to bum you out for the sake of petty sadism. I wasted time on this during the last liberal protests, and so will you if you didn’t learn from that or simply failed to take note before.
I kind of feel bad for people like you. I mean, you just don’t do it the way I do. I randomly open up CPUSA live streams on Trump’s inauguration day to see them organizing with Amy Klobuchar. Literally, on their live stream, bragging to me about Amy Klobuchar, the stapler throwing maniac prosecutor who knowingly sent an innocent man to his death helping them out. Where the hell would you even get this information otherwise? You’ll ignore it anyways I bet.

Honestly for me it’s XMPP > Delta Chat > Matrix > SSignal/Telegram/etc. Matrix integrations (apps) don’t even work on any client and they moved the bloated server improvements into a walled garden

mistermodal@lemmy.mlOPtoshitposting@lemmy.ml•I hear "The No Kings protests are fertile ground for organization" but the organization is Brian Becker/CPUSA/DSA rebranding of the same, & pic attached is the fertile ground0·1 day agoOh you think it’s tough now, wait until we get to the question of how FRSO leadership was able to tap congressional allies to get student protests freed when they left other members behind bars!
Enjoy this visual aid in the meantime. I know we will need to be very thorough to dissuade such low-effort comments going forward, I am taking my sweet time.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human VisitorsEnglish12·1 day agoYeah endless waves of attempted edits to tone down war crimes is the tip of the iceberg, a subject I will circle back to in the coming days. This is a bizarre comment on several levels. So is he less right-wing because he is British? It doesn’t matter if you enjoy particular sects of Ayn Rand worshippers, it makes no difference to me. The Gamergate business is the typical damage control response you see out of any site owner amenable to Nazis. Exactly like reddit admins. “We don’t take sides against the right-wing ☝️🤓 they broke site rules fair and square.” Typical bs. Nerds think everyone else is as singlemindedly gullible as them, invariably. Unfortunately the legal system demands people adhere to it
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown1·1 day agoAmerican internal politics are largely irrelevant, I’m not a diplomat. You are currently being reminded of why municipal and state policy adjustments are a waste of time.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown12·1 day agoI am well aware that the protest is meant to accomplish nothing. Not only that it denounces the prospect of active resistance against ICE.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Russian troops liberate eight communities in Ukraine operation over week — top brass52·1 day agoIt’s funny how you can tell which insults have made liberals the most sore in the past. You would never call your despised Putler an Uncle Tom if not for the psychic wound left from that term being levied at Obama and others like him.
That’s the typical Timothy Snyder/Hannah Arendt breakdown of authoritarianism and fascism, yes, which is always problematic as these definitions could easily apply to any western leader or the subimperialist regimes they prop up, your entire logic is inconsistent. But of course you know that. Poinring out the inconsistencies in your irrational beliefs would be a waste of time, not only because of your belligerence, but because fascism can only coherently analyzed historically.

mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown12·1 day agoYou’re attacking a strawman to make up for the emptiness left over after your symbolic protest that did absolutely nothing.
It’s great I come here to argue with people until I am forced to assign myself homework. Reddit just bans you over and over unless you are 100% chungus at all times.
