I'm talking about the people saying these things. I'm not suggesting we set up a plywood booth on a subreddit. Geez.

Yeah so your argument is that 'we' shouldn't set up a booth because it's pointless aesthetics, but their booths are what?

Are you having a bad day or something? You're being super aggressive and reading everything I say in the most uncharitable terms possible.

I'm being super aggressive because I have ADHD and I am frustrated because I am trying to understand practically what you mean and how it makes sense. I still don't understand how these arguments don't boil down to online posting.

My problem is that many leftists here cannot see past the base of the Rachet party. Would some of these people like socialism? Yes sure. Would some of these people fight with us? yes sure. However the majority of these people are fine with returning to the status quo antecedent where we had a Democrat President running the human grinder of capitalist imperialism. In as much when they "fight with us", they are going to stop at the first available opportunity.

You aren't going to convince these people en-masse to become committed to the cause. They have neither the will to fight, nor to educate themselves. Nor have they been kicked down by life enough to see the Democrats as another foot to the ribs. They're good with good enough because good enough feels fine to them personally. To them politics and being political is a treat.

All I'm saying is that it's sad to see people who are so ripe for radicalization that they're willing to throw themselves on the gears when they know it won't change anything. I'm not arguing with anything you're saying.

They're posting that they're willing. The gears are there. The gears have been there. They haven't been throwing themselves in the least. The lib moron who had 2 "Molotov cocktails" that were made from nips threw himself into the gears. He was stupid, he was ineffective, he didn't know what he was doing, but he threw himself in to the gears. These people are posting.

willem-van-spronsen threw himself into the gears knowing it wouldn't change anything. Pretending that these posters are in the same class category is insulting to real comrades.
