For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.

      Fascinating how all you are capable of saying in response to that whole comment is to think I am doing a bit when I mention I have two degrees.

      No, its not a bit.

      I seriously doubt anyone here in a chapo reddit could actually make a meaningful economic or political argument at this point.

      oh sorry did I say reddit? I couldn’t tell I wasn’t on it what with the utter lack of meaningful or interesting discussion, and preponderance of memey edgy troll posters.

      As usual, the cosplaying tankies in a ‘leftist’ community are amazingly hostile and disrespectful to anyone who says they are an anarchist.

      I had been able to post for a week or so on another chapo reddit /until/ it became unable to avoid the astounding hypocrisy and wilful blindness that online MLs have regarding the horrible things done by authoritarian societies in the name of communism.

      Good riddance to you idiot trolls.

      Its baffling to me that chapo communities are nearly entirely ML edgelords. The chapo crew never suck off and worship Chinese Style ‘Communism’, but for some reason seemingly all online chapo communities are based around this principle.
