Twitter has gone the way of LiveJournal. First they broke the woke boba libs from the Tumblr zoo tarring the Left with teenage cringe, the gates of the Twitter gulag has been opened to freedom for chuds, Neo-Nazis, and reactionaries. What kind of timeline are we living in? It seems the sacrifices of 8.7 million Russians to bury the Nazi monster are in vain.

Now we must keep a vigilant eye for false comrades, like how fascists try to lure some of our naive baby comrades by jacking off to North Korea.

      Thanks for the eye-opening read. I need to get access to better literature, my only literature is limited to Marx’s fundamentals, Soviet-era writings and Third Worldist stuff like the Green Book, some of Sankara’s work and some of Philippine “National Democracy” corpus of material, as well as some academic research papers feeding me info to make my own takes.

      So yeah, kinda got my start with “Old Left” literature. And had to toss the Green Book since patsocs and shit

          Also purging some the “National Democracy” literature because its pretty much not applicable in the modern factors. Filipino Maoists have been reduced into a joke and they’re pretty much the reason why the Left here can’t bloom. And they’re the reason why MLs here jumped on Duterte’s boat because his pro-China stance seems attractive to AES and easier to identify with them than with the Maoists. So basically joining the populist camp to make orthodox ML cool again

      This. A billionaire is a billionaire is a billionaire. Their class interests trump any other consideration and window dressing

    Soviets for one. And that became evident long ago, by 1980’s at least.

    Bullying LGBT teens is shameful. Comparing them to fascists is one of the most transphobic shit I’ve read in a while.

    Yeah, well, there other communities besides Twitter lol

    I was chatting with some bloke named Roderic Day and he thought that Twitter was the “newspaper” of the 21st century (and said that none of the other social media platforms compared).

    I had to disagree with him on that lmao

        your bigotry is not a proper material analysis of gender, tumblr didn’t have that massive userbase you think it had to have a noticeable effect on larger social media sites. also how cool of you to say transness is a mental illness as if being mentally ill is something shameful. the only shameful thing here is your bigotry and sounding like those patsoc/maga communist dipshits who have nothing to do with communism.

          @Comrade_Deku571@lemmygrad.ml sorry for the harshness, it gets tiring dealing with transphobic rhetoric from people who are supposed to be comrades. i hope other peoples comments here were helpful for you.

    Gonna be honest, neo-Nazis have been running rampant on twitter for a very long time. I don’t know if the Tumblr refugees affected much, I mean it’s still active and I enjoy it, there’s cool people on there. Elon acting like this is a victory is odd considering he tried to back out but was forced to buy Twitter lmao
