No one here is pretending that having fun online is really advancing a revolutionary agenda
I disagree here - I think cultural change is the harbinger of societal change. I for example called myself liberal, capitalist, and the thought of abolishing the police was unthinkable - until I was exposed to Beau of the Fifth Column and people on Reddit a bit like yourself but nicer (i.e. anarchists not Marxist types) that exposed me to new ideas.
I’d imagine if Beau called me an idiot and transphobe I probably would not have been convinced. I’m currently working to build community, this started online.
I know you disagree, that’s why you’re all worked up about on a communist site. You’re projecting that onto us.

I’ll overlook the petty sectarianism here, and just say that we are nice, just not toward people hectoring us about like we don’t already know. Some of us do, some of us don’t. Some of us see the point in strategic voting if you live in the handful of states (counties really) where you vote matters in a presidential election, and some of don’t care even for that arguement.
What we all agree on is that the kind of evangelism your on about is nonsense.
If it makes me a lib in your mind or the Hexbear hive mind because I care that people are harmed and am willing to vote in an attempt to reduce that harm, than I guess I’m a lib. I’ll go cry in the corner and make some Republican gun lube.
Votes are earned.

This is actually not the part that makes you a lib. Hectoring people in a left space about VOTE is what we consider lib
