Spot fucking on, but its that second group, the young and naive that make these points worth arguing and harping on about. Sometimes those of us whove been online our whole lives forget the indoctrinating power of the internet. Shit, thats what pushed me further and further left, and still does to this day.
And ur last sentence.... oof... i know.... brace yourselves, and kick up the counterefforts.
Great point - I don't mean to disparage those newcomers to politics. We've all been there of course.
I guess I gate-kept a bit there myself, and my apologies for that.
No no no! I didn't take it that way at all, just wanted to add the clarification i figured u left out.
I figured if u were gatekeeping against youth u wouldnt have even bothered to comment at all. Sorry if i sounded like i was putting down ur point for it, u were saying something i think we all could hear more on this platform. Esp as the tankies pretend that the presence of bad faith actors on lemmy trying to hand the election to sr. Racismo via non-voting/third party voting is not existent.
Comments like this give me hope friend. Keep fighting the good fight :)
I feel like i dispense a lot of thank yous and encouragement to everyone else to keep it up. It feels nice to be on the receiving end so randomly. Thanks dude. Made me smile, for real <3
Aight im back to say, im rereading this thread and some of ur other comments above (about astroturfing leading the young esp) go so hard.
So me fight the good fight? You, you sir keep fighting the good fight. As in the present tense. As in u have been. Dont stop.
Solidarity to u and all other leftist speakers and activists seeking change by whichever means they know how...
Just leave some in the bank for when election season is upon us.....
Aw thanks and likewise — comments like yours really help to shatter all the depression and gaslighting that gets spread and restores some semblance of sanity :)
And don't worry about losing steam! I'm amped up for the election year and will only continue to ramp it up! I have frankly too many ideas to enhance my personal impact on the election and need to get better organized lol.
Please do.
For all the "Russian Shill" tags i dispense with on here, urs is one of the first im tagging as "Comrade."
Its time to start thinking about collecting ourselves on this platform to fight against the misinformation, gaslighting, and just outright foreign interference we see here. We owe to the newcomers for this platform to not just be a hive of, "voting is genocide 😱."
I want solidarity. Solidarity between anyone leftward leaning. If a righty has a leftist idea, it must be backed. If status quo joe wants to reunite even one family separated at the border, we should back the notion.
if it existed, why haven't you ever produced any evidence of it?
Bc im not wasting my time on yall. Im not going to participate in what will either turn into a gush gallop or gaslighting. Uve got it in this thread. U got it all over hexbear and .ml.
Thanks for caring enough to follow tho 🥰
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and no one should believe your claims unless you support them.
