          You know it’s over when posts from the sub start hitting r/all. That and being liberal “ironically” to try to avoid getting banned attracting actual liberals.

          Honestly expect to start seeing Occupy Democrats memes being shared unironically by the end of the decade

            Cool people got banned or left. New people didn’t all realize being a liberal conservatives is just a bit.

            And didn’t help that blue anon became a thing and libs got really into talking about Epstein too.

      There was a thread immediately following the Jacobin story, and the sub’s initial reaction to it, by a amazon union worker who brought up legitimate grievances about his leadership and his abilities as an organizer but drenched it in the same nagging and derisive tone as that of the Jacobin article.

      A lot of the criticisms may be fair but why tear down the character of a comrade? Immediately following the release of his book, at that. Just seems weird, almost suspect.

        To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one’s suggestions to the organization. To say nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting but to gossip afterwards. To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one’s own inclination. This is a second type [of liberalism].
