Two thirds of the rabid ones here are keyboard socialists. They type a good game, know all the stock phrases, but when it comes to actually doing shit, well, touching grass is scary.
They stay inside and rant and rave about how things SHOULD be while we are out there actually making the incremental changes to try to bring it about.
Then they post and pat themselves on the back for saying we’re not doing enough.
It’s very clear that this is every bit the senseless, thoughtless, reactionary, pathetic echo chamber that t_d was, just with red flags instead of red hats.
Thank you all for helping me to realize that so quickly.
They stay inside and rant and rave about how things SHOULD be while we are out there actually making the incremental changes to try to bring it about.
Incremental changes like allowing abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living to skyrocket, drone striking workers around the world, doing nothing about the climate, allowing millions of avoidable covid deaths for the sake of the rich… Oh and presiding over the restoration of child labour? Those incremental changes? Anything I missed?
You’re useless. You are projecting enormously when you say we socialists only talk when literally everything is going backwards even when you’re in power.
What do you even do anyway? Are you organising? Or do you just vote every few years and act like that means you do something? We organise.
And brigading ain’t fucking organising numbnuts, nor is anyone doing any brigading when it’s at the top of our /all/ page right now. I’m talking about unions, salting, activist groups, direct action, REAL shit. Not fucking voting and posting on the internet. What do you do? Anything at all?
Completely skipped over the fact that ALL of the above things happen when liberals are in power too didn’t ya? Just utterly sidestepped it. You ignore the reality happening in front of your eyes and only listen to meaningless words. You’re naive as fuck and very easily fooled.
I can’t speak for everyone but there are a lot of union members and organisers among the ranks of Hexbear. Before I went back to school I used to organise with my local Tennant Union personally, but trying to balance 2 jobs, school, and organising work came to be a bit much for me so I guess we really aren’t that different
Me personally, I teach and make my students aware of the dictatorship of capital, imperialism, the profite motive… Basically marxism-leninism 101 on a introductionary level.
Other than that, I’m active in the teachers union and volunteer in the local chapter of the Marxist leninist party tog et local projects of the ground, like extending the public transport network, social housing, and most important of all, talking with people about their problems, the rise of fascism where I live and how to counter it, as well as the current neoliberal line of thought in both local and federale government.
while we are out there actually making the incremental changes to try to bring it about.
lmao most of the activism by liberals here is voting every 2 - 4 years and posting, don’t kid yourself. Just keep carrying water for an unrepentant segregationist and telling yourself that the incremental steps you are supporting are towards progress and not a third world war.
Sorry, I’m sure you’ll get your anti-imperialism candidate on the Primary debate stage one day! They still can’t win, but they’ll be on the stage once. And to make sure that that day comes, it only makes sense to do the bidding of imperialists in the meantime.
You’re not doing anything you’re literally just actively promoting fascism. Congratulations, you beat the Republicans by becoming Republicans. So cool and very effective!
Incremental change doesn’t work, but if it did we don’t have time for it with the climate as it is, but if we did I’d still rather change something quick so we can stop people from dying in poverty and starvation.
Eh, it’s a lot like reddit.

Team? You’re not on our fucking team you side with fascists every fucking chance you get. You’re fake, full of shit and untrustworthy allies.
Comrade Patrick Stewart playing Lenin says it best.

Phonebanking for Biden doesn’t count as doing shit btw
Exactly why I’ve been phone banking for Hilary since 2016. We will overcome. ✊
Ait lemme know when that incremental change actually changes something
