      MAGA Communism is a meme that Infrared used to demonstrate its position relative to the political spectrum. The concept is initially confusing due to the seeming contradiction between right-wing MAGA and left-wing Communism. The confusion is intentional

        Despite InfraShit’s words, I’m pretty sure most MAGA-lickers unironically think Trump is communist

          Comparing them to Hexbear, is, frankly, an insult to Hexbear

          I think they usually act more better than that in communicating… unless yer prolly in a struggle sesh with 'em

          At least hexbear is a relatively insular community, not a political content creator.

      Exactly what they are trying to gatekeep is unclear

      That might be because there’s nothing that’s being gatekept…

              If anything i am more inclined to be mistrustful of self proclaimed revolutionaries with large channels because that tells me they and their followers may be spending more of their time and energy online consuming and making content as opposed to irl doing real organizing work. You can have a million followers and that’s all well and good for education and propaganda but what have you done lately for workers, how have you fought landlords and corporations, when is the last time you went out to participate in direct action against war and against the arming of Nazis and the Zionist entity?

                You’re preaching to the choir, but it never hurts to spell it out for casual observers.

                Maybe I should use “/s” more often just to play it safe…

              Following this logic, we should nominate Hasan Piker as General Secretary and never let him resign.
