obviously i had heard things but never had actually been there. for a place that claims to be where the chapo refugees have gone, it's nothing but conservatives and "classical liberals" (according to their flairs) bitching about libs and identity politics. if there are any leftists there at all they must have all rolled out or just don't post. maybe one or two "right socialists" whatever the fuck that is (nazbol or something).

    Imagine portraying to be a leftist forum and having a "classical liberal" flair.

        Is "right liberal" yet another word for "fiscally conservative, socially performatively liberal"? I thought "liberal" encompassed that.

          "Right liberals" or conservative liberals are basically the norm for right wing parties in many countries that aren't the US. In the US liberal carries a connotation of progressivism on social issues. These people don't carry that connotation.

            I guess you gotta hand it to them for using the term correctly.

            Edit: issuing correction on a previous post of mine. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

                Sorry, I was thinking of leaving it there for someone else to post but couldn't help myself.

      Imagine trying to organize a movement or engage with political opponents when you wall off participation, even when half your members readily admit they used to harbor chud attitudes.

        This would be a pretty good comparison, if the forum we are talking about was actually leftist. If your idea of converting chuds is telling them to just switch aesthetics while keeping all their current ideals, go off.
