Eh, beats fascism, I guess. The far-left people are just as bad though... That echo chamber makes the conservative safe spaces back on Reddit look wild and free.

The far-left is the furthest possible environment from an echo chamber imaginable. We literally can’t stop arguing with eachother over the smallest details. I’m far left and my first instinct when reading your comment was to be annoyed and offended that you lumped me in with some other group that considers itself far-left but I just consider to be wrong.

That is not my experience at all, I've had almost no issues at all with anarchists and even confused social democrats and libertarians IRL. People who live in the imperial core, claim to be the left, but spend their time going after actual leftists are fundamentally unserious.

I don’t really understand your comment, sorry - I can’t tell what you’re disagreeing with, because the part you quoted was just me expressing my initial emotional reaction to reading a comment, which you wouldn’t necessarily have shared.

I don’t think you can really seriously argue my main point, it’s really not uncommon for leftist movements to collapse from in-fighting
