Yup, it was in the ‘progressive politics’ comm, which is moderated by TokenBoomer who seems to have similar politics to Linkerbann. I’ve actually never been around so many libs just barely hanging on to the edge like this, I’m more familiar with reddit where there isn’t even the pretext of being progressive.
These people are so desperate to hold onto their benevolent self-identity that they will literally say anything to affirm their status in both camps. I have to imagine they are having a quiet crisis of identity behind their phone screen, otherwise I simply cannot fathom how they can be so politically incoherent

It’s easy to radicalize them, the tricky part is radicalizing them in the right direction
