      i’m not getting anything from your comment either, I don’t even know what you are talking about. reactionary? people shit on me?

      It’s just a miserable reading experience even when I don’t interact. Hopefully blocking certain instances helps, but what makes me wary is that blocking certain people for example seems to hide the whole threads if someone in the thread is blocked.

        I don’t even know what you are talking about. reactionary?

        Wait, are you getting involved in political discussions without any familiarity with actual politics? Or even a willingness to google terms to pretend you know what people are talking about?

          What terms should I google then? I’m familiar with the terms i’ve seen in the thread this far… Like, I know what reactionary means, I just don’t know why they are using that word. … Are they suggesting disliking communist content is… reactionary?

            Are you suggesting opposing progressive changes to society isn’t reactionary?

              I’m suggesting that communism is not progressive. But i’m not here to argue politics with fools, just to be clear.

                Well tough luck, because I am, so explain. What about communism, a system that extends democracy from just the government to the entire workplace, seems regressive or part of the status quo? What past condition is it trying to reestablish? Or is this one of those vibes based “akshully Xi was allowed to stand for president more than twice so that makes him a dictator” analyses?
