    Hey comrade, what do you think about shouting out ProleWiki in a video? Or I guess for a more serious question, do you feel this type of resource could help you do research for your videos?

      Had a bad experience with one of the ProleWiki people (I think it was prolewiki at least). He was in my CPUSA chapter and was one of those very sus patriotic socialists, and some screenshots of his chats came out that confirmed my suspicions

        I appreciate your honesty! This was a very shameful period for us, I'm not going to try and defend it. He was later banned (I think I know which screenshot you mean) when he conspired with the Infrared community* to infiltrate the wiki. Since then we've been completely free of patsocs.

          Wait what? The infra Haz guy tried to infiltrate prolewiki? You serious lol?

          I still remember when he came to hexbear and got banned within a few posts.

            Not him thankfully, as far as I know he never mentioned PW anywhere lol. But someone who we later learned was watching him and participating in his community; it's on our history page.
