    Like you, I discovered CTH out of curiosity. It was so ridiculous and funny. Mostly, I was shocked at the attitude people had towards it.

    I have since seen this pattern repeat. Leftist spaces are banned quickly. Meanwhile, libs hem and haw about free speech when it comes to openly fascist spaces and their views.

    I already considered myself a socialist when Bernie ran in '16, but the viciousness with which the dems attacked him stayed with me. Meanwhile, they say things like “we need a strong republican party”.

    The more I saw these things, the further left I got. Nothing frightens centrists more than the left. Not fascists, not dictators, nothing.

    Am glad to have found this place! I missed the humor and irreverence at CTH. So many socialist/communist places are serious. It’s nice to take the piss every once in a while.

      Parenti even has a line about this in one of the Yellow videos. Something like “The day after the revolution liberals start asking if the fascists can have free speech and political parties and newspapers”
