Nice "Go to chapo.chat lmao" on your profile.

On a real note, we need to be doing more of these covert ops in places like neolib, libertarian etc.

That's because Trump is blaming centrist clowns like Biden for the unrest because the institutional rightwing actually understands political strategy.

Trump is calling him a socialist, or a trojan horse... so I would rather Biden be honest about his tendencies than try and lie to pacify the left.

And soft spot for rioters is a hell of a lot more tame than this statement Trump made just yesterday:

"I also want to provide an update on left-wing political violence that we’re seeing in Democrat-run cities. Under my administration, federal law enforcement is working with state and local authorities all over the country to comb through hours of video, track down rioters, looters, and arsonists, and bring them to justice. We’ve just come up with a report that we’ve arrested a large number of people. It’s over 200. And you’ll be hearing about that, but they’ve been arrested in various cities throughout the United States. We’re doing it very low key, but we’re trying to help cities. They are, in all cases, Democrat-run, but we’re doing the best we can to help them without really much of a consent.

We’d like to have the consent, as an example, in Portland. We could solve that problem in approximately one hour, but the mayor refuses, perhaps for political reasons. I don’t know why it’s good for him to have a city that’s falling apart and that’s under siege now for 94 days. But, really, it’s been under siege for years, if you know Portland.

So, to the mayor, I say: Whenever you’re ready, let us know. We’ll solve your problem of violence. We’ll solve your problem of crime. We’ll arrest those criminals very rapidly, and you’ll be able to have some nice evenings in Portland."

EDIT: Downvoted before even reading, nice.

Source? Sorry there have been a lot of claims on this thread that I looked into and they're way overblown.

Did Biden (or Obama) designate "being anti-fascist" as domestic terrorism?

Did he make excuses for or provide cover for attacks against our comrades?

Will he do so when in office?

I feel like the answer to all three of those things are a clear "no".

 

I don't want to hear any shit about me shilling for Biden, because I'm not. Fuck Biden. Need to get this off my chest though.

I want fascists around the world to feel what we felt the night Corbyn lost, when we found out Bernie had a heart attack, when he conceded defeat like a coward.

Because they haven't felt anything but power and hate for the past 5 years.

The wave of fascist parties taking hold in Europe and parts of South America were buoyed by what happened on our stolen land. We showed them what was possible and we need to do that again, except in an explicit rejection of rightwing fascism.

I want Trump to be buried alive (electorally) so we can take (online) pilgrimages to piss on his (campaign's) grave.

I want Biden to be on full display 24/7 so that the entire world realizes what a joke neoliberalism is and we can finally destroy it.

I want to build real power and bully libs and tell them that we don't have to take their shit because "The dang cheeto" is no longer in the White House and we're not fucking around, and all of the harm that is happening to people around the world is because their guy is a failure.

I feel at this point leftist orgs need to own up to their anti-fascist claims and do the bare minimum of calling for Trumps removal, even if they also denounce Biden in the process.

Anyways. Have a nice night, comrades. Stay safe and stay hydrated.

~~QUICK EDIT: I also wanna see the left organize an anti-war movement rivaling the leadup to Iraq under a Democratic president the minute Sleepy Joe tries to pull some shit. That would fucking slap.~~
Misinterpreted and I'm dead tired but this was just an example, not "wishing genocide" or some other weird shit.

ANOTHER EDIT: People seem to be implying that I am saying "vote for Biden".. I'm not, I am expressing my own views and feelings on the current state of hell, though it should NOT be controversial to want to remove a literal fascist from office on a leftist internet community.

 

This post may be seen as factionalism and not productive, but I figure I mine as well pose the question:

Are you planning on keeping a presence on at least a few of the subreddits and continue posting there while also building up Chapochat?

I had originally planned on just "cutting over" and leaving it for dead, but then I realized that there is a lot of potential for slow/steady growth if we had a decent userbase which was still active on various lefty subreddits. We could occassionally crosspost text posts from here and have discussion on those subs about whatever we're talking about here.

That should naturally lead to more users on ChapoChat.

Another thing is that I don't want spez and those fashlibs to feel any more satisfaciton in killing the largest leftist subreddit than they need to - as a full on exodus of the dirtbag left allows their neoliberal ilk to run amok on the platform moreso than in the past.

Having said all that, I think r/DemocraticSocialism has had a decent uptick in activity since 'the ban' so I think naturally that is where a lot of the CTH refugees may have moved over to. They seem like one of the less weird lefty subs, in that they like to post memes and the mods don't seem like memes themselves, in that they are not overbearing from what I have seen.

Any other subs that you think are worth posting in these days? Personally my past experience with a lot of them has been negative, but maybe things have changed?

Feels good to be home, discord is really good but nothing beats the ability to post something that will be visible to more people than the ~40 people who happen to be looking at chat at any given moment.
