Yeah, I do agree with this but I do believe that a lot of leftist take this shit way too far. Where they believe that nobody can disagree with them because they are somehow way more enlightened than anybody else. I've always found that to be weird and creepy
@Jaded_maple905 yeah thats not friendship, thats someone that wants to be a cult leader.
@glitter you get a lot of that on the left. People really do believe they're like a cult of personality by repackaging what someone else said. I mean I will never understand the cult of personality behind words that you didn't invent.
@Jaded_maple905 @glitter It's just a continuation of the white tradition of stealing from other people and claiming credit.
@FreyaManibrandr @glitter the thing that trips me out is that Karl Marx has been dead for about I don't know a hundred and something odd years. I mean he has them have been dead for like ever now curious like there is nobody alive right now who is even alive the year after he was dead and yet people still try to act like every single word that Karl Marx has ever said has relevant in 2021
@Jaded_maple905 @glitter I never really got that, it's creepy how often those folks got deified. It's just like how you got the american jingoists going on and on about the founding fathers, and I am like, the founding fathers were shit people, why we gotta take what they say as gospel?
@FreyaManibrandr @glitter that's because a lot of this shit is a religion for a lot of these people. A lot of these people worship at the altar of Karl Marx and Lenin and whoever else. They don't understand that their strategies we're supposed to be a jumping off point that you evolved over time to work with whatever era that you're in. These people are the equivalent of fundamental Christians and they will sit there and make fun of fundamental Christians which I've always found was hilarious
@Jaded_maple905 @glitter And then they go off and suck off some tankie's boot, and they never learned to think for themselves, hence rendering the entire exercise pointless.

@FreyaManibrandr @Jaded_maple905 thats because a lot of these folk have internalized christianity to the point where they cannot function without the hierarchal dogma and the rhetoric of ultimate good vs ultimate bad and the world being in an eternal struggle. they've swapped on messianic figure for another without really realizing it. its not all together that different from the people that worshipped trump. to them there needs to be a leader, a figure head, to validate them.
re: pol
@glitter @Jaded_maple905 My thoughts exactly!
