Hello comrades, I read a comment on a post either on lemmygrad or hexbear talking about how most discourse happening was of poor quality and indicative of a lack of genuine leftist groups in the imperial core. Basically if there were patty’s with some teeth they would enforce party discipline and education and that would lead to higher quality discourse online.
I also read some of Lenins2ndcat’s comments which were very patient when they were interacting with users from other communities.
Is there anyway to work on like, an online party discipline? Or like having users who are very good at discussing with libs have a more concerted approach to their interactions? It really seems that much of us are often too aggressive and meme-y and as fun as that is it really isn’t productive.
I get that this isn’t how praxis or anything happens, it seems more like the way we engage could be more productive and fruitful in the long term and considerations like this might go a long way.
TL;DR Planned economy but for memeposting
Wow it’s like you are in my head. I was engaging with a group recently on another forum and felt the whole “I tried to give a good faith argument, but got called a tankie right away then a slew of baseless attacks on my character for no reason, and by people who clearly didn’t read what I wrote”.
It’s fucking exhausting, and actually it is nice to just chill here and read memes and laugh at some shit because I just need that time to cool off.
