Practically every main stream internet service I can think about that I have used is littered with fascist or imperialist comments. Anytime I push back against it, I have to contend with a wave of reactionaries jumping down my throat.
Sometimes I wonder what’s the point. As in, should I just back off and not say anything? It doesn’t seem like saying anything makes a difference anyway.
I dunno, I guess I’m teetering on the edge of despair a bit. Fascism isn’t fringe on the internet anymore, from what I can see. It makes me worry for the near future.
Fill disclosure: my friend thinks I’m just too online.
Yes and it is maturing. There are some marxism and leftist too but I don’t think it is maturing into anything worthwhile. I fear it will be more useful for reactionaries in the long run because all it does is justify more imperialism. People are too caught up in their abstract normative aspirations and with partisan struggle.
Meanwhile sections of the bourgeoisie (especially big oil) are out manuvering everyone and are in position to walk all over Biden and overthrow finance leaders that are mildly tenitive about investment into fossil fuels. Oil representatives have a road ahead of them that makes it simple to galvanize a reactionary base. The greenwashers have always been full of shit and oil is using it to their advantage.
