I mean I agree with the general message of class solidarity but using all those hashtags make it hard to take anyone seriously, regardless of their position.
Your language in the comments are also very divisive for someone claiming to want to break idealogical lines. If people are disagreeing with you, that’s an opportunity to change minds. If everyone’s agreeing with you, you might just be in an echo chamber.

Yeah, probably so. That’s how I feel about it though. I literally just posted it because I thought it was a really insightful and important message and one I wanted to share. It’s like a celebration of these victories that working people have been able to achieve recently, and an important insight into reasons it was able to happen and how to keep it going. Then I got this swell of disapproval about it. I interpreted that as stemming from people being addicted to their divisiveness and unsympathetic to the victories of anyone who doesn’t perfectly agree with them ideologically. So yeah I got sort of embittered about it with my response.
I think you’re right and I apologize about being combative about it, that’s probably not productive, you’re right. But it’s hard for me to be apologetic about the reasons for the reaction.

I actually kind of enjoy when most people disagree with me, that’s why I’m over here commenting instead of in /c/workersrightsoverpolitics. I do definitely have the feeling that there’s an echo chamber effect going on, yes.
