Okay, I guess it just sounded like you were talking about something other than the usual crap for a second. So you’re still within a subset of a subset of western internet users then. Just kind of annoyed since I’m in like, group chats for the MST in Brazil and all sorts of things and you’re lumping those people in with people who are basically a fandom for various political content creators (harmless but annoying) and other more distressing entities which range from book clubs to like organized crime (Black Hammer)
I guess that fits my general idea of the kind of person who ends up here. Burned out on Reddit and various other chatrooms which have a single redeeming quality in hating some facets of imperialism, even if they don’t understand it.
This site is really a congregation of smug people who trip over psyops until they get burned out and start advising people on the lay of the land when they never left their own backyard
Well I don’t speak Portuguese so idk what goes on in Brazilian left online spaces, this is all anglo world shit I’m talking about. English speaking internet political spaces just tend to bring out the weirdest assholes in whatever demo they’re catering to. Idk why exactly but this space seems a bit resilient to it but then again we do get the occasional BMF types.
Online shit is pointless anyway, this is just a place for shit posting and getting news, no valuable organizing happens here, or Reddit, or Twitter.
Soon with the quality of translation software, those language barriers will matter less. Mainstream socials and FOSS clones are really good about it now.
I’m already on a Mastodon fork translating Chinese posts I pipe in via RSS from Baidu comments and hella other places not to dab on you guys but I am living in 2027
