You should do what you’re capable of doing. But We shouldn’t attack people for doing more. We shouldn’t attack people for doing less. Instead we should work together.
If what you talk about directs people towards a path of further action, then you are doing your part, if what you teach keeps people stuck in a world that continue re-produce itself, then that needs to be addressed.
Do you want to spread class consciousness, or do you want to indulge in a self-pity party of how persecuted you are.
Why do you feel the need to say things like this? I could just as easily flip the argument and say you’re only in this for the social prestige. How do I know you’re not just doing this out of peer pressure and are uncomfortable with being demanded further actions? How can I really know that you don’t just want to stay in your comfort zone and the moment, shit hits the fan, you won’t ally with Hegemony? I can only give you my trust, but unfortunately your unwillingness to extend the same courtesy to others, who you think are the wrong kind of activists, is making me doubt your sincerity.
How can you see someone share their personal experience. about being harassed, and your first thought is to pour more gasoline on the fire. How is this spreading class consciousness? I have to re-iterate again that I think you should just do what you think you’re best capable of. I never said you are a worse human being for not doing more. But I am critiquing your attacks on a fellow comrade. I am critiquing our lack of unity in the movement.
It’s like you think people can only be in this for their self-interest and anyone who doesn’t align with your personal world views is a traitor to you. That the world is just going be in this flux of change, where the unfortunates are doomed, forgotten about and only the victors, who might sometimes include the charitable sort and who get to pick who they get to save and who not to, continue to advance the society for each of their individual goals, for eternity.

Thank you for sharing this, and yes I absolutely agree.
I encourage people to critique me, because I’m definitely vulnerable to my own ego, and it can make me blind towards getting meaningful material results. I want meaningful material results, so this helps me see my own blind spots.
But I am critiquing your attacks on a fellow comrade. I am critiquing our lack of unity in the movement.
Yeah, I think there’s a difficult line to walk here. We want unity, but we also need to hold each other accountable for being our best. I appreciate you holding me accountable too.

Not quite anything so intense and black-and-white. I think sometimes someone can have the right intentions, and lose the plot, and it’s important to remember to get back on track.
The creator in question, Madeline Pendleton, imho too frequently leans into TikTok drama slop, and has sometimes wielded their considerable following as a harassment tool against smaller (overwhelmingly BIPOC) creators, so I’m low on patience with them particularly. They stir drama and infighting on a much larger scale. I also think they spread a lot of Marxist awareness and could do better and be more effective. Not a traitor, just a little messy, and being messy isn’t a help to the cause.
I’m myself messy too. I don’t have the privilege/burden of a large audience, so it’s not going to have the same impact, but I would hope to be called out on it. I’m not any better of a person, and I’m trying to get better.
