  • Eh, good content was less and less common in a sea of low effort fluff and reposts. Once I started actively blocking subreddits I didn’t care about, I got deeper into the fluff much more quickly.

    There will always be nerds pooling quality content. Reddit was the best place for that for a while, but like all pools out had grown stagnant. I’m excited to witness the revitalization afforded by migration. The site is just a site. It was nice, but all things must pass, and metamorphize in passing.


  • I disagree. I don’t think waiting for coverage reactionaries to die out is a viable methodology. Yes, millennials and gen Z slant left, but it’s not unanimous (I know several personally who grew up petit bourgeoisie and think capitalism is the only way) and gen X will be around for decades to come. Deciding that the hypnotized are worthless is not viable. The policies are popular, we need to reach those who would benefit on a broad scale before 2060.


  • You say that, and yet right wing politicians consistently win elections by doing exactly that. Policies that explicitly hurt right wing voters at the benefit of the bourgeoisie are hidden behind bluster and culture war hot button issues.

    That said, I’m not advocating ignorance. There’s no “Gotcha!” moment. I’m advocating an honest movement which merely chooses less stigmatized, and less stigmatizable, vocabulary to express its sincere policies.




  • Healthcare and UBI are generally considered “politically” socialist. The one actually (economically) socialist concept I brought up was workplace socialization. A co-op or ESOP model gives the workers in a company meaningful ownership thereof: if the shareholders and employees of a company are the same group, profits go to the workers.
