    i was so nervous that I wouldn’t get approved when i made my account because my lexicon of marxist and leftist terminology is limited and I am bad at advocating for myself. :(

    but I also value freedom of speech

    What the fuck does that even tangentially have to do with wealth inequality outside of “money is speech” capitalist realism?

    I am not interested in preaching to the choir

    Whenever some smuglord says shit like that it is because they’re craving validation the way a Redditor says “I am going to get downvoted for this, but” then showers in le Reddit Gold.

    put gender ethics along political lines

    I’m lost. What the fuck does that mean? This some tepid-ass “take politics out of my politics” liberal bubble world shit or what?

    Who do they think is going to share wealth voluntarily in this cutthroat capitalist society? How would they propose to accomplish this?

    I don’t know if you’ve watched Kung pow, but there’s this guy who gets beat up on purpose and thinks he’s winning, and it turns out that he was trained wrong as a joke.

    I’m getting the same feeling here.

      Socialists learning from right wingers: “Okay, you were involved in the V2 program on a technical or academic level but did not join the Nazi Party. Put together a few V2s for us to test and we’ll treat you well and send you home to Germany afterwards. We probably won’t even use the design in the end, we just need to test it.”

      Liberals learning from right wingers: “SS Sturmbanfuhrer von Braun, even though you presided over slave labor during the war, how would you like a high ranking job at NASA? We’ll set you up really nice like your Nazi general friend who’s leading NATO and the Japanese biowarfare war criminals.”

    Letting right wingers in leads to them taking over, not “learning anything”. This has played out a billion times, and I am trying to avoid talking to people who are going to irritate me straight out the gate

      I’ve come to accept that blocking right wingers is self defense. I get enough liberalism irl and see no reason to torture myself with it here. If I wanted to learn anything from right wingers I could go on Twitter or take a snorkel for a swim in a festival septic tank.

    Judging by the way they write this person sounds very young, and i don’t like making fun of children, even if they’re being bratty. It’s low hanging fruit. Too easy.

      As the Hexbear crossposters pointed out, this could be a good radicalization opportunity.

      @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml, is it possible to respond to an account request? If so, did you suggest to them any Marxist reading?

      At the same time, it does feel a bit strange to try to make an account on a Marxist-Leninist instance and say you “care very little about Marxism”. Couldn’t you at least ask to learn more?

    FNAF is something that I’ve always thought is enjoyed by 9 year olds. I didn’t realise that the series has existed for almost a decade now. The kids who grew up with FNAF are now in their late teens and early adulthood.

    And they want to join Lemmygrad.
