    Look, you’re not going to find any support here with this take.

    I once made a thread asking Hexbears to tone down their rhetoric so it’s more welcoming to the vast majority of the outside people, and 99% of the responses were a firm no.

    People here aren’t going to give up using the materialist definition of liberalism just to pander to the libs.

      I see the same thing happening – it’s a fast track to an ultraleftist dead end.

      It’s also worth noting that recognizing what non-leftists mean when they speak is not pandering, but a prerequisite to effective communication. We’re abandoning talking to people out of eagerness to dunk on anything that moves.

      This thread shows how we need more accessible, as in memes, political education for left-curious folks. This stuff has to meet people where they are if we ever hope to build a popular revolutionary movement.
