A lot of users there just sit around on high horses looking down at the masses, criticizing them for not doing any praxis. Meanwhile they call their slacktivism the height of revolutionary action, as they intend to overthrow the bourgeoisie from the comfort of their cushy computer/phone. And of course they all cite some reason for why they do no irl praxis. Meanwhile other leftists also have reasons to not do praxis (ex che Guevara), but deal with the reason.

Not all lemmy.ml users!

    Where did you see this?

    • Not as dramatic as I made it sound, sorry didn’t expect anyone to actually see this.

      But I’ve seen a number of posts talking about re education of the masses and too much support in the comments. Whereas like when someone suggests irl praxis, no support, often only criticism in the comments, seemingly to try to discourse op from trying.

      There was a like entire youtube video about this problem. I’ll see if I can find it. Saw it a year ago.

      Contrapoint vids talk about this too, like the contrapoint men video.
