if you know you know and if not I will tell you when there’s confirmation. until then business as usual.
edit: Leader of Hamas Politburo Yahya Sinwar, resistant fighter all his life, was martyred on October 17 while fighting IOF on the frontlines in Rafah, Gaza, AK-47 in his hand. This has been confirmed by the PFLP on al-Mayadeen and so the moratorium is lifted.
What are you even talking about LMAO? Can’t find any other words to express your disgust than “ew new person”?? I’m not assuming anything, I’m making completely obvious observations about the community and you’re taking them personally because they are accurate. You just disagree with my conclusions because you lack the historical context for your own beliefs. Anything else to say or do you just want to rage?
If you want a more complete summation, I could go into the Gonzaloist Maoist flavor of posters around here, but why even waste time on that?
If you don’t remember, that’s fine. It’s not that I’m going “ew new person” it is that you haven’t been around to see what the community actually is if you’re speaking from a standpoint of 1 month. I’m not “disagreeing” with you in that yes, we do have some “idealists” and certainly not a lack of idealism in some places but more often than not something unique I’ve noticed is that a lot of them leave/get tired, genuinely learn some grounding and start digging into theory other than just Marx alone or eventually say some shit and get banned. I can go on a complete summation about that as well.
Speaking from a view of about 19 days, engaging with one or two idealists and then painting the entire website as “The Idealist Forum” (Should I screenshot that too?) sounds, I dunno; a bit short-sighted and an analysis consisting of nothing more than personal reaction without knowledge of previous history.
There’s the self-wanking part, too. “I’m not assuming anything. I’m making completely correct unbiased observations. You’re just mad” (Paraphrasing, of course.) and of course the smugness. Oh and assuming that you being new has to do with anything. I’m “new” too compared to some users.
Lmao, my first Hexbear screenshot, what an honor.
Sorry, wanted to clarify; I didn’t mean to say you were an idealist. Just was using their term for people he was referring to.
No worries. I did not read anything as accusatory, I just got a notification about a reply on a 3 month old comment (the one in the screenshot) and was trying to figure out what was up and found this thread. 😄
I have to say out of all the arguments from authority that exist, account age is probably the funniest. so, you haven’t logged off for a longer period than I have? sit the hell down then
[puts up posters of Zizek and Foucault everywhere] wtf why are people characterizing this place as having an undercurrent of western leftist idealism?? mods? is this bullying?
as for the screenshot, this is what the entire antiwar left does lmao reposting Chris Hedges articles and shit without knowing what they are. regurgitating libertarian talking points about the pandemic (everyone forgot this), posting offbrand versions of Mearshimer, I don’t owe you essays and essays on this subject. you are literally just repeating the libertarian “oh noes my tax dollars” and Israel lobby explanations for imperialism. slowly, it’s shifting. but people like you have fought it every step of the way with your perpetual aggrievement towards people that disagree
I think we banned someone a few weeks ago who made the same ignorant arguments on the assumption that to post something/someone (e.g. Hedges, Mearshimer, etc.) is to fully agree with & endorse something/someone in all ways. Perhaps your new account creation coincides with that ban…
