I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Who is Roderic besides a guy who runs a (admittedly pretty good) blog? Info on the dude is scant online.
What is the difference between a blog and a website at this point for such a site? It rivals Marxism.org but for another goal: making theory easier to read and understand for a population that reads wayyyy too little. It's mostly works from other people with some of Roderic, Nia, and some others original pieces between.
I've also been scared by the fact that there's little about him online, but it makes a bit more sense when you hear he grew up in Peru, studied engineering (computers) in Canada (?) And works there now. It's not like he's gonna have a huge profile in his 20's. He also does lots of work with programming on GitHub, from before he was of redsails fame.
Roderic Day is misunderstood I guess. From my understanding, he doesn't argue with people unless he thinks there is someone worth talking with.
This just seems like a weird hill to die on at this particular time
That's not an ultra tho. Maybe a big annoying and pedantic
That's the thing about tailism, though. It's always bound to a struggle that is of particular urgency or salience at a given time. You can use the same exact words to repudiate any charge of tailism that isn't being made retrospectively, in a history book.
He's Canadian.
No one on this site is up-to-date on their Roderic lore and it shows.
I thought he was British for some reason
Hes from Peru. Ethnically no idea but I'm not very concerned. He is super anti-imperialist so I'm not gonna try to dig up some white Nazi past or something based on a profile pic.
ah shit he’s a fed
What makes you think it? I've talked to him online and he doesn't give fed vibes, just someone who tries to take shit super seriously (and does, to be fair)
it was a joke about how everyone thought he was from a different country
