My opinion: subtweets about people complaining about Mamdani are much more annoying than the posts they're vaguely responding to.
If you think someone is wrong, tell them so. Don't passive-aggressively imply that their only motivation is to be able to be smug in the future.
Almost no one "uncritically" supports anything. I have seen posts defending Mamdani when he's criticized for certain choices and I have seen posts with frankly unrealistic views of what Mamdani is (which is, in practice, a social democrat). It's mostly died down in the last few weeks because people made their arguments and then moved on.
All of that is beside the point, because this post isn't actually replying to anything. The implication is that the only reason someone would criticize Mamdani on Hexbear is "Gotta be right about everything 100% of the time". If I'm understanding the tone correctly, I find that to be very uncomradely. It's particularly grating because it reads as a defense of Mamdani by proxy: instead of addressing any actual argument, it writes off all arguments that criticize him as trite smugness.
He didn't. He made a "hmm" noise and Trump cut him off and called himself a fascist. Mamdani was clearly preparing some kind of diplomatic dodge (not making a judgment on that either way).
Sure, they all say things at times. I'm sure Bernie and AOC called Trump a fascist. Bernie also (eventually) said the US was funding the "Israeli" genocide.
Agreed.
Mostly agreed, but he's walked things back enough to make me expect him to be neutered in practice.
True, and also the lesson actual revolutionary parties like the PSL are taking from this. However, this can backfire if people begin to associate "socialism" with walking back and broken promises. How many Bernies can there be before people assume socialists are useless? That's the job of actual socialists, to steal this momentum from social democrats falsely claiming the label.
OP is not referencing anything. OP is stirring up engagement and controversy because OP is an internet troll. Even if OP was referencing that post, I don't care to go digging through 7 layers of irony and smugness to assume someone else's argument. If OP had something to say, OP should have said it.
Yes, I think we maybe just have different perceptions of how people on here are talking about Mamdani (we happened to participate in different threads, or notice different discussions probably) and it seems like we might broadly agree on Mamdani himself.
I’ve seen too many posts that criticize Mamdani unfairly to the point of smugness like they’re making the point of if you like him for whatever reason you’re stupid and you “fell for it again.”
Maybe you should stop hanging around this thread like you’re at a bar half hour from closing still looking to get laid.
lmao, you cannot possibly post a thread like this and then tell me to touch grass.
What was the joke? Please explain in detail.
I’m saying you should probably lay off commenting after making 25+ comments on this thread alone. That’s more comments and posts than some users make in a week.
I’m not explaining the joke.
Don't make a post drenched in irony designed to make people engage, then get mad when they engage.
I don't think there was one. Some people on here are neurodivergent, by the way. I think refusing to explain a joke when asked it extremely bad form, considering that.
I mean I made a shitpost and I logged on just to tell you you’re commenting too much and being smug.
