Welcome to the dank left

Basic rules: *No reposting. Just don't do it.

*Be respectful. Remember the human.

*Don't post content glorifying the right This should be pretty obvious.

*Keep it dank This includes, keeping the content humorous and fresh in multiple, bizarrerie ways Only post content that is humorous and fresh.

*The notion of Leftist unity is not enforced or encouraged. It always ends with one group siliencing others.

I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.

You're just creating this strawman because you disagree with the other side that is recommending you read about their beliefs, despite claiming that you read people you disagree with

I've read both those, that's the point.

Still, that doesn't imply the opposite about them

It's does because they are very basic criticisms to the point of being kind of insulting. It's a akin to asking someone with clinical depression if they have tried vitamin d supplements. The suggestion itself demonstrates their own cluelessness.
