It's more a sign that you've been outside. Our community has had a bunch of contra haters (for mostly valid reasons) since before we were on Hexbear. I wish we would sometimes offer other users, especially federated users like you, a bit more grace.
A lot of our community is/were active on Twitter which creates an instinct to "go in for the dunk" at any opportunity available that I've always vocally disliked.
You know why
c/bloomscroll when?
Twitter-brain formatting
Yeah probably something like that
Is there an issue with the quote? Am I misreading?
Could have the bot drop a single comment with links to the various cross posts
Read Anthem by Ayn Rand lol
DSA (and these people on the podcast in particular) are kind of good at winning Democratic primaries. After that everything falls apart though.
Time for them the dig in and level up and win the whole thing. They did pull through for AOC tbf.
The harder they fight, the more they learn, even if the lesson is "we need to stop focusing so hard on electoralism".
I think there's a certain amount of hopelessness in our community that comes from historical knowledge of how these things tend to go. The thing for me is that I do hope we can just vote socialism in, even though I know it doesn't work that way. I think that gets lost sometimes that it would still be a good thing if Americans could just vote Lenin 2.0 to be the president of the United States.
We don't really have permabans, the usual policy is "take a break, make a new account, do better next time"
Did you watch the video?
