Solarpunk as a concept is so funny

What if my politics were just, like, a vibe

I've spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

You're out there combating liberalism every day and I admire it

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

See, it's entirely self-driven and egotistical, I get grim satisfaction from asserting my knowledge of theory against the smug liberals. It isn't healthy, nor is it out of any grander vision, I still haven't picked a party to join yet. It's just me being a debatebro, albeit less of one than I used to be on Reddit.

I appreciate the sentiment, I just think my energy would be more productive elsewhere.

I joined FRSO recently and they've been very cool to work with. Just a plug if you're looking to take the plunge and join an org

Checking out both my local FRSO and PSL chapters! I've heard "mixed" things resulting in some chapters being great and others being awful for each, so I am trying to investigate on my own more. Hard to do without doxxing myself, haha.

Thanks! I'll keep what you said in mind, comrade!

Don't say that! i look up to your outwardly patient understanding when you handle them. I don't have the patience, so i respect your high effort

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I appreciate it! I do. However, I can't deny that I do it for selfish reasons, haha. The Lemmy.world mods started removing my comments calling out the democrats support for genocide though, so that's even worse.

They blocked Hexbear immediately, hopeless, that place really does just have an aesthetic.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Yep, so I am trying to convince individual users when the opportunity arises.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah yes the whole aesthetic ideology born out of a yogurt commercial.
