  • Criticism of America as usually pretty spot on, but a lot of recent criticism online has devolved to insulting every American individual and has plenty of schadenfreude vibes. It is especially galling since it is easy to imagine that this criticism comes from people or places that would be doing the same thing (or lack thereof) to fight this sort of cryptofascism in their own countries as well. How many of those complaining about the direction America is headed and how little the people are doing to stop it, would be totally disinterested if we were talking about Poland or Finland or Italy? Ultimately, I believe what we are seeing, in many cases, is really just an objection to how much their own country’s economics and military are tied to the whims or fortunes of the U.S.















  • This was my experience as well. Definite targetting. Most of the bans coming after being critical of Capitalism. The Reddit incels and rightoids like to whinge that Reddit is anti-right wing and moderates those viewpoints into oblivion, but it’s just cognitive dissonance or gaslighting. You can do just about anything short of direct threats or doxxing on Reddit and be just fine, as long as you don’t question that which is unquestionable, i.e. Capitalism. Even inside some very socialist or left-leaning subreddits you see this.



  • Not in the current state the human race finds itself. Maybe someday, but we are nowhere near there yet. Until then any attempt to create “a stateless, classless, currencyless society in which the workers own the means of production society” will likely fail and devolve into something terrible, whether they have good intentions or not, and whether they call themselves communist or not.
