        It’s never juicy. I mean in this case it’s people lining up to say some variation of Mamdani killed Rosa and one person saying he didn’t actually kill Rosa.

        It’s tedious, and hexbear would be 50% better if we stopped the instinct to pile on our own users for shit like this.

          We can’t have online leftists mess up the revolution, that can’t happen, by holding a positive opinion about someone who is participating in something that can’t lead to revolution. It takes energy away from the real Western left, which doesn’t exist, so that they cannot focus on an impossible revolution in the imperial core. We, as real leftists, who are online–but not online leftists–need to make sure that our comrades (who are actually just irredeemable western liberals) have the correct opinion about the thing we don’t pay attention to, and in which we don’t participate. If our enemies here, who can be any one of us, give verbal support for something that can never result in revolution, then we can never have a revolution. I mean, we can’t have a revolution anyways because of treats and read Settlers; but we need to protect the impossibility at all costs lest we become. Do you understand what reformers are? They are people who are not part of any party or real organized movement who seek to reform it, the thing that doesn’t exist (and can’t exist in the West). That’s just basic theory. It’s definitely written in a book somewhere.
