I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol
Almost like this place is not for organizing and is not meant to be centered on America let alone one ideology.
I can easily spell bourgeoisie on the first try. 
I’d prefer this place not be a hermetic vault of online theory nerds incorrecting each other.
People who say they “want something” without actively creating it should not be taken seriously or listened to.
He's not wrong, except the first pic where he says it's "full", because it's fortunately only minority.
Permanent twitter brain...
Masses Elites and Rebels guy, pls touch grass... if you want actual change, go to a mutual aid group or something
What does he think of fakenews?
Iirc he tweeted about it saying that posting was in fact praxis and if you make jokes on the internet you're basically a counter revolutionary
Okay I'm starting to think Ulysses was Roderic
My respect for Roderick Day has skyrocketed

Finally someone asking real questions about this 2+ month-old beef
How some people put this pseud on a platform is beyond me. He falls into the pit of most Western Marxists where they are either completely idealist and treat Marxism as some literary analysis or completely mechanistic who thinks that even discussing the role of ideology or conscious human activity is "idealist." In other words, his analysis is not particularly dialectical, only instead of erring on the side of idealism like the majority of leftists, he errs on the side of materialism. But you don't get points for being undialectical just because you aren't an idealist.
And he's overall not very bright either. There's that embarrassing thread about why sitcoms don't have school shooter episodes and instead of tying this to the production of sitcoms and how syndication, which forms the lion share of a sitcom's profit, requires sitcom plots to reset back to a status quo at the end of each episode, he had some dumbass contrarian explanation on moralism (another favorite word abused by the mechanists) or some other bullshit. That massive tl;dr blog post on how propaganda shouldn't be characterized as brainwashing falls apart with the trivial observation that Burgerlanders are orders of magnitude more brainwashed than their imperial core peers while at the same time living in worse material conditions. Can't shoehorn in dependency theory or unequal exchange to explain why Burgerlanders are more susceptible to propaganda.
Alright, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. In a world where Western "Marxists" are largely ultra LARP freaks who sell out to Western academia and University Presses to publish anticommunist propaganda, Roderic is a comrade and is a genuine AES-upholding ML.
His work on RedSails is an invaluable compendium of literature given how other leftist writing repository like Marxists.org are hijacked by Trots.
People need to understand that just because someone is a proper ML doesn't mean you'll be best friends with them. Expecting that is the fastest way to being disillusioned in real world organizing and praxis, when you inevitably meet some ideological comrade you don't necessarily vibe with. The history of socialism in praxis is filled with people who both learned, and failed to learn, to acknowledge others who are near entirely ideologically aligned yet clash with on a personal and social level.
Roderic has an abrasive online personality and has made L takes on frankly tangential subjects through his Twitter debatebro addiction. This just makes him another case of the 70%/30%.
Additionally, his thesis on Redsails that emphasizes the buy-in nature of Western propaganda, if that is what you are referring to, is an absolutely cogent interpretation of the dynamics between propaganda and its recipients in the Western paradigm.
It's the dunk tank.
