I found this gem while searching throught this anti-communist website. Maybe we should “fix” it?

    This entire article reads like 15 year old me whining in a journal about people in school I didn’t like. But even back then, I didn’t cherrypick and distort this hard.

    No citation of “Comradeship” under major communities, it wouldn’t match the narrative that we are all senseless monsters. Claiming we hate all Ukranians when I literally see comrades constantly say they hate what the U.S. and the Nazis are doing to innocent people of Ukraine. Spinning our interest in maintaining a strictly ML site as dystopian cultish censorship, meanwhile if any liberal community bans someone who even suggests China doesn’t power their Doom Machine with ground up puppies they get celebrated.

    Being wrong is one thing, but to be so smug about it is what really irritates me.

    Anyways, back to discussing totally-evidenceless “crank” I guess.

      It even starts with the observation that users moved here in greater numbers because Reddit shut down left wing spaces. No sense of irony in their critique liberal complaint§ of the LG.

      § Critique suggests far more rigour and analysis. Thank Parenti for clarifying the difference between a liberal complaint and a radical analysis.

        It starts with the accusation that we’re a platform for communists to coordinate actions lol

        See the thing is, Wisconcom tried to join the GZD discord a while back and then promptly posted hoxhaist stuff everywhere. I think he was given a talking to for this and he decided to leave because that’s what he does when you push back at him. After that he got it in his head that we were working in league with GZD.

        Same thing when he was removed from Prolewiki, it was never an issue before but afterwards he started to claim that Prolewiki is in league with lemmygrad and it’s the primary way we recruit people to the project.

        Whereas everyone knows discord is where the bulk of communist organising happens lmao

        BTW I asked him once to show proof of GZD/Lemmygrad/Prolewiki “collusion” (cause nobody actually cares if we joined up) and obviously he couldn’t. Most of our new editors on PW find us on Twitter lol

      To be fair, that’s just RationalWiki. Articles written with this smug tone, like it was written by an internet atheist or a debate bro.
