Disclaimer: I love my fellow dirtballs on hexbear, a lot of you are just as remarkable as the people I’m talking about.
Every self identified Marxist Leninist I’ve ever met in this country is the most bohemian, well-read, emotionally intelligent person I’ve ever met. It’s not a large group of people but I am absolutely staggered by the absolute beacons of intelligence these people are. And I do feel like this translates to lemmy.ml. Whereas we still have vestiges of anti-intersectional, reactionary coded thinking of the dirtbag left that has taken over podcasts and the online left, .ml’s for the most part are very much traditionalists when it comes to informed and holistic materialist analysis.
Thank you for not being obsessed over shit like the ‘repercussions of woke 1.0’ or wondering how cool it would be if the entire American left was made up of coal miners from West Virginia.
I remember when it looked likely it would get banned. Spez was butthurt that we were posting about killing all slaveowners.
A discord was set up and I remember hexbear development going on there. A week later, CTH was banned on reddit.
Cw ableist slur half spelled out, uncensored medical term considered a slur colloquially
spoiler
Now that I think about it was his handle actually spez? Was it short for Spencer cos otherwise all I can think of is the slur for spastic swapping the e in spez with an a. It sounds edgelordy
Yeah that’s his name. Sorry about that, didn’t know :(
Oh not on you at all, I’m just super suss on him choosing that screen name
I sure hope it was Spencer because otherwise it seems like a portmanteau of that slur and the slur form of “special education”.
