It just feels difficult to have meaningful conversations on here sometimes. Like yes I dislike America, but I don't need to act like nothing good has ever come out of it. Maybe China is better than America, but I don't want Xi nuking American cities. I don't think war is suddenly cool and good because Ukraine has some nazis in it. Not everyone I disagree with is some bumbling mass of idiocy, a lot of times we just differ on certain core values.

    Well said, comrade. Thank you for bringing this up. It's a good reminder to us all.

    I would support this being its own post and getting pinned on the homepage for a bit. @CARCOSA can we do that, or refine the message and post something similar, like "reminder: adventurism is bad, solidarity is good. praxis is good, extremism is bad. irony is fine, but sincerity is even cooler. we're here for you AND you should touch grass every day."

      No please no fucking mod statements. Extremism is good when the system wants to murder you. It has to be organized extremism with a fuckin purpose.
