fuck you btw

This makes me happy to see. I hope you succeed in making real change in your community. I also hope you realize this was not the case in a majority of the other protests, despite our efforts.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I think the protests fall into a few distinct categories:

You've got small town ones, which are essentially entirely grassroots and politically pretty soft. They're still a good thing, because they are composed of people who basically have never taken any political action before. It's progress, just starting from a very low baseline

Then there are two city variants defined by the contest between the libs and the left. Either the libs have won via Indivisible and other components of the Dem machine quickly activating, or the left (embodied by PSL in most cities where there's been some success here) successfully anticipating this movement and laying the organizational groundwork and earning the legitimacy to determine the political line and tenor. In big east coast cities, the Dem machine is powerful and mostly succeeded. In the midwest and mountain states, PSL has had far more success. I can't really speak to the situation on the west coast, and these are all just trends with lots of exceptions.

It's clear you're very good at organizing based on your rage

This but unironically. Jack's basically channeling Lenin's ghost lol

This but unironically lenin-shining

I am in fact good as hell at organizing, because I have on multiple occassions the last three months taken all the energy the Dems wanted to redirect into their machine and directed into a revolutionary one. My PSL branch has put on four large 50501 protests with thousands of attendees each, and every single one we have been extremely explicit about our politics to excellent popular reception. If I hadn't done that, all those people would've just been listening to some Dem council person telling them to vote for Chuck Schumer or whatever.

Is it convincing when you're organizing and somebody doubts your unproven claim so you just repeat "fuck you" at them? That works well for you?

[–] jack@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

unproven claim

literally video evidence

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You provided no evidence when they doubted and replied with "fuck you". Literally the order of events.

he provided the link while saying fuck you, didn't he? Like, I don't see a problem here I'd have been mad too. Probably wouldn't have posted the video tying my account to that information but yeah

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why would you be mad that people disbelieve a pretty wild claim? Seems like a basic reality that these were hyper liberal protests and his claim needed more than just saying it on the internet.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean if I said I did something and someone told me I didn't it'd tick me off a bit regardless of what it was I said I did, idunno just seems like kind of a normal reaction

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If the thing was something widely considered difficult to accomplish, I would not insult comrades for not simply taking my claims on faith.

best organizer I ever worked like was like this, I hated working with the guy sometimes because he was gruff and sharp like this guy is being but he got shit done so I never complained

did really wear on me though...

Remember to delete this link in a day or two because your city + org affiliation may be doxable info.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To what end? I am essentially already a public figure in my city. Anybody can dox me as much as they want.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

If it's not part of your strategy, best of luck then.
