I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

    Yeah, some of us would like to be able to actually win elections and start changing things rather than fantasising about a glorious revolution that isn’t coming.

        Look the only thing holding US politics back was blahaj.zone being federated with hexbear, if they just do that somehow the GOP will stop attacking trans people because then their image will be better mkay sweaty?

      From where I’m standing it doesn’t matter if you win or lose elections, the shitheads you elect will just spend all the money they can on war, make up endless excuses for why they can’t actually fix problems and allow reactionaries to run hog wild in the meantime.

      Two years before the Russian revolution, Lenin said that he would never see the revolution in his lifetime. A good future may be closer then you think.

          It seems i was wrong. He did not say this two years prior, but in fact in january of 1917. Lenin wrote:

          “We of the older generation may not live to see the decisive battles of this coming revolution. But I can, I believe, express the confident hope that the youth which is working so splendidly in the socialist movement of Switzerland, and of the whole world, will be fortunate enough not only to fight, but also to win, in the coming proletarian revolution.”

          He definitely said at some point in the 20th century that he wouldn’t live to see the revolution. I would have guessed 1914, but it’s hard to search for.

      I mean good luck with that- even if we didn’t exist, conservatives of all stripes will slander you as a disgusting communist. They do that to democrats in the US even. Worrying about image should be the least of anyone’s concern
