I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

CBA, it's not going to change anyone's mind anyway.

๐Ÿ™„ Don't act like you were actually going to look at it, nobody who asks for sources on the internet actually gives a shit about the source, they're just doing it to waste the other person's time and/or respond with some variety of "that's a bad source" or "I'm still not convinced"

It's like a tic, liberals will go "Source??" whenever they see something they don't agree with, but then will guzzle down nazi propaganda like it's a fact because it aligns with what they already believe. I have literally never seen them actually respect the time put into finding the source.

I asked for it because I knew it was bullshit you couldn't back up with a source that didn't exist. Before I commented, I searched for AP articles about it and found nothing, because it doesn't exist.
