Saw some suss content relating to leftists supporting Russia uncritically on the GenZedong Reddit page today. The whole argument as far as I could tell was a bit of a strawman . Is anyone moderating the page anymore? I thought I was on normal Reddit for a second.
I agree 100% and while I understand that perspectives are important, especially when discussing issues marginalized people face, laning gets tiring and it’s like begging the state department to take all of your info from you. Those perspectives are important and I respect people sharing them, but more often than not online it’s done in a flailing attempt to get the person being argued with to shut up and accept your stance at face value. Just critiquing liberal idpol at this point lol. In leftist spaces it is quite rife, though. I’ve told way too many people way too personal things on FB - no anonymity! - when I was a teenager because I got “laned” on something and had to “lane” back for people to even listen to me. Not how healthy or constructive conversation happens whatsoever.
