🌩🌩BRAINSTORM SESSION!🌩🌩
There was a recent post reminding us to organize IRL. While that is essential, most of us spend time online and off Lemmygrad. And there is ALWAYS small opportunities for radicalization.
Social media is terrible and often a terrible waste of time and energy. However, for those of us on it, it is undeniably, in this age, a major way that people form opinions on political matters.
We in the Western Left have a lot of work we need to do. It can seem overwhelming at times because we don’tknow where to start. The populace is intuitively sympathetic to our analysis and even our proposed solutions, but they are completely innoculated against it, which makes it very difficult to recruit for IRL organizations, to agitate, to even have simple conversations with people. Even those who might be receptive are simply living in a reality that is completely different from ours, because they have never even been exposed to our narrative at all! Small bits of exposure is what will be the groundwork towards radicalizing many people.
Whether we like it or not, we are essentially Nazis in terms of censorship…no, worse, actually! I see people talk about Jews or Blacks etc. pretty regularly with little consequence, but it’s gotten to the point where anytime I try and say “America” I get censored.
So, it got me thinking, and I used some emojis instead.
Suddenly, I could talk about the evils of 🦅🇺🇲🪖🕵♂️🐷🇪🇺🤵💰🇺🇦 all sorts of things, and my comments, posts, etc. were censored less (keyword less). It certainly worked better than when I said things like N@tzees, n4yto, or similarly self-censored words that probably get flagged as spam (?).
It sucks that we have to stoop to the actions of Nazis, such as dogwhistling. This truth should be sung from rooftops. But we must accept the reality that we are a targeted demographic in every sense and that we could learn from the social engineering successes of the goblinoids on 4chan that played a small part in popularizing Trump, “race realism,” Jewish Cabal conspiracy, and many other psychosocial parasites that have persisted to this day.
What do you think? What are other good dogwhistles? Have you noticed any particular things that get you censored or any tricks to bypass it?
Just made me think that it’s the same with ‘capitalism’. To liberal minds, they’re not real categories, capable of analysis. They’re kinda like slogans. It’s okay to use them in the very, very abstract. You can say them to make yourself sound clever or patriotic but only if the subject of analysis is something else. Like ‘agriculture in America’ or ‘entertainment media in America’. ‘Capitalism’ is similar; it can only be mentioned tangentially.
The moment you make one of these things (or something similar) the subject of analysis is the moment you’re in trouble. The ruling class knows it’s dangerous for people to look too closely; and people know not to rock the boat. Nobody wants you to see and nobody wants to see that the emperor is stark naked.
Maybe there’s something in the way that revolutionaries have got around talking about capitalism that could help with talking about other taboo and censored subjects that could help with what you’re thinking of.
