They have Lemmygrad and will have to go thru the same development period we went thru, they're peacocks you have to let them fly
Also I'd say the same thing if the soclibs over at CompleteAnarchy we're banned, we're not some dead site desperate for users, let them come to us with the appropriate mentality
No sectarians, CyborgMarx signing off
Wait, isn't that the sectarianism op was talking about?:confusion:
Poor sentence structure on my part, wasn't adding anything extra to the list just specifying what was implied.
Yeah we except the rules here. Just leave it at that.
Hexbear is a welcomed lighter tone, as long as it stays well modded I'm sure it'll be fine. Anyways we are on the internet so no reason to be too serious. :what-the-hell:
This site needs an onboarding mechanism if it wants to be an efficient part of a radicalization pipeline. That does not mean tolerating anything more than we already do, but I think it's entirely possible to say, "hey you, r/subreddit user, welcome to our site this is how it's different and we'll ban you if you do a,b,c shitty things", then pin it.
Though I wanna be clear that I'm not saying we should do that right now w/ r/GenZedong because I don't want to put work on the mods/admins (dealing with a big influx is a lot of work!). Just that we could engage in such a project of we wanted to and if it was successful it would be pretty neat to get more e-comrades.
Maybe the best thing would just be to make it possible to sticky more than 2 threads... then some things (like a welcome post) could be perma-stickied. That's something I could probably help with.
Yeah as someone who's been on both places (was, in the case of GZD) it's just not the right fit. 90% of the content is the same, but the 10% difference would be really hard to reconcile.
How do I learn more about what you're talking about? I've seen a lot of important talk about avoiding sectarianism, and I want to be more informed to help/ be more proactive.
In the context of American political history, the Black Panther Party's Ten-Point Program and the Oakland chapter's development of revolutionary intercommunalism provides a reasonable groundwork (a template independent of whatever remains of the BPP today) from which anarchists and ML's can unite in practical ways without resorting to ideological squabbles
Naturally, this applies only to first world nations
There’s a long history of sectarian activity being used to split movements. Social groups will naturally split at certain sizes, but ideally that means you set up two working groups instead of one and remain in contact. Feds stir up bad blood and make that impossible if they’re successful.
Also this quote gets used here a lot when talking about sectarianism is general:
Sectarianism, fed by fanaticism, is always castrating. Radicalization, nourished by a critical spirit, is always creative. Sectarianism mythicizes and thereby alienates; radicalization criticizes and thereby liberates. Radicalization involves increased commitment to the position one has chosen, and thus ever greater engagement in the effort to transform concrete, objective reality. Conversely, sectar ianism, because it is mythicizing and irrational, turns reality into a false (and therefore unchangeable) "reality."

Link? “One into two” just gives me a bunch of stuff about motorcycles
As good at posting as they are, yeah, GenZedong got a bit weird towards the end
Respectfully, I disagree with you. I've seen more than once people (on GZD) act as if it is only weird westerners who think sex-worker positivity is helpful.
