Rarely. The memes tend to be insular. Go outside and do shit instead.

I'm just having a hard time understanding why someone would think that this instance likes trump. There aren't even many sarcastic shitposts that would give that impression.

There was a weather underground? I lived here for about three years before going to Arizona for six years because I guess I like cacti

Edit: lived most of my life in Kzoo and Adrian before that, mind you

 

I just moved to Michigan, USA. I'm a Marxist-Leninist. I'm tried of being nothing more than a online occasional commentator. I just applied to CPUSA and got an "out of office" message until Sept 11th. That does not bode well.

Any recommendations on how I can get involved and contribute?

It became more and more intertwined with the right wing as the 2016 election drew closer. Gamer Gate and adjacent communities turned into a pipeline for the alt right, with YouTubers like Sargon of Akkad radicalizing libs into fascists.

I watched it unfold on r/KotakuInAction at the time. It was a weird crossroads for me.
