So the question is a bit weird and for the sake of not sounding like a complete edgelord I will try to explain what I mean

I used to be pretty active inside the hooligan scene (lol) when I was younger. I still follow lots of football ultras accounts and the occasional hooligan thing gets posted there as well. It should be no surprise that some hooligan groups are pretty right wing or out right fascist. One of the Dutch accounts posted a Feyenoord hooligan picture in which some of their members posed in front of a ‘anti antifa’ banner, with the purpose of looking cool of course, flexing their muscles and whatnot.

I decided to call them out on it, saying it’s messed up since Rotterdam was bombed to pieces by the Nazis even. They deleted the post afterwards.

I rarely see people do this, not even leftist accounts I follow. Which made me think, should we be less afraid about calling shit like this out? To send some sort of message that we are not afraid of losers like them? Or do you think it is counter productive to do so?

I don’t mean we should start doing ‘come fight me bruh’ things, but I feel like the left is sometimes missing a link between neanderthal fighting and your average debate me bro intellectual leftist that speaks to the people.

    Ill be completly honest, from where I am sitting, what ever the left is doing us failing. We all seem to be seeing that capitalism is in decay, and everyone seems to know it, from the “Apolitical centrist” to the most ardent Neoliberal will admit that the status quo isnt working, however a large number if not the majority of the ones who have left the wierd “we can just reform it, its the lack of competition l, its the best we have” have decided to go to facism, and the next biggest catagory have gone to a social democracy of just wanting healthcare, but contenuing to build this wealth from the exploitation of the global south, the third biggest catagory is the Anarchist, while a theoretical ally, never seem to have any systematic plan or action in how anything will come about.

    So before I ramble on too much and make a fool of myself more so than I have, all of this is to say I wiol welcome any change in tactic at this point. We have a very egg head strategy, of lets read theory, and most of the rest is very ingroupy.
