    Remember how t_d was a tongue in cheek in-joke in the beginning until it grew and actually drew in users that actually were all in with the cult without a hint of self awareness and became what you described?

    That path is too easy to accidentally replicate and IT will be a negative effect for the working class on the net. Regular prole scrollers won’t get “stalin is good because he’s handsome” even though we might have a taste for edgier humor

    Think critical, friend

      Will get it, since we are having enough critical points and mega threads as well as theory discussions.

      Yeah I differ in that estimate. A variety of places for the working class will be more effective than small closed groups of critical school theory nerds (which had like 90 years to come up with functional organizing).

        I’m not sure if scrollers stick to find out about if there’s honesty in the megathreads.

        Variety is definitely good. Maybe I’ve just seen too many in-jokes-as-a-glue things convert to something else around the internet as media literacy is falling. Shrug.

        Love the optimism tho! Peace out
