Right now it’s mostly just one guy picking his battles badly and not really doing anything. Get Woke Go Broke, or they shuffle the successful properties back in the other direction.
I think you can sit this one out and just watch from the sidelines. Based on the conclusion (in this video), I think we all can.
I liked this video. The whole main point, “I’ll use your solution if you can provide it,” is a good one.
I don’t fully agree with it. Regarding previous actions, personally I think the Palestine protests have been pretty successful so I disagree with the video there, but in general I do agree that the OWS protests were not successful, and I would also have loved to see better alternative candidates provided besides Bernie, or besides whatever Jimmy Dore and those other hacks were pushing.
It’s been fun watching reactionaries pick fights with companies that don’t even notice them, and then losing and freaking out over it.
I’m not sure if a lot of the chuds who “like” Warhammer even cared about it to begin with. IIRC The Quartering couldn’t pronounce half the words related to the franchise.
At 34 minutes, I learned something about what happens when you watch one of the anti-woke videos for long enough. (And my YouTube client crashed as I went to make this comment…)
And the opposite reverse is true, which I think is more interesting: the average Democrat voter is to the left, probably far to the left, of Biden on several things (the border, Israel, and marijuana legalization all come to mind).
To be fair, that was my original reaction several years ago after discovering this too. Especially because, on paper, TST is doing the world a valuable service by critiquing organized religion.
And most of the people associated with it are probably perfectly good people. Just… Not the ones at the very top.
Even if you adopt hardline Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as an ideology, the modern state of China has applied so much pro-capitalist revisionism to it that it’s a shell of its former self. Today, Maoist parties are suppressed in China.
I’m not a Maoist by a long shot, but I can at least appreciate the fact that the ones shouting “revisionism!” the most are the ones who have most bastardized their own texts.
I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.
Really? I don’t like fantasy much, didn’t know anything about the former stuff going in, and ended up liking it despite the disjointed nature of the first episode.
Doing two timelines in parallel was… A narrative choice… But once I got my bearings it was plenty good.
I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day....
Fascists don’t get to decide what they’re called, and cloaking their desires with identity politics is pathetic.
I call the CCP the CCP because that’s what everybody calls it… outside of cringe fascist types. I call Nazis Nazis for the same reason.
If there’s some racial component that makes this evil, explain it in such a way where you wouldn’t be able to condemn all criticism of Israel and Netanyahu.

Why there is so much communist propaganda on lemmy?
Even from people that never lived in a communist state...
Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful?
I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.
