None of you are good leftists. In this post I will tell you why.

1. Your materialism is not dialectical enough.
2. you're wrong.
3. this isn't reddit
4. you don't understand my personal situation and therefore you cannot fully understand this subject
5. I got into an argument on reddit about this and was banned so now I'm here and you're not agreeing with me so you must be reddit
6. You're a fed
7. your dialectics are far from materialist
8. read settlers
9. treat analogy
10. letting people enjoy things is the moderate wing of fascism

Is this about my comment, or am I being egocentric? In case it is about my comment, I post here some clarifications I made there:

I messed up. I misunderstood Hexbear, wrote a confusing comment, unintentionally offended you, then reacted badly to your angry replies, many of which misrepresented what I wanted to say. Now with hindsight, I ask you to read this:

1. I did not mean to accuse hexbearites of being bad like New Atheists. I wanted to use the antisocial behavior of New Atheists (fruitless anti-religious intolerance) as an anti-example. In my experience, leftists discern between “theocrat” and “religious comrade". I felt this thread was an outlier. But then I worded my comment in an confusing way, appearing to conflate you with New Atheists.

2. The accusation of loving war crimes in the Middle East is for foaming lunatic New Atheists like Sam Harris, not Hexbearites.

3. I meant that anti-religious bashing is easily misrepresented by right wing propaganda. I explicitly said that the “atheist elites” narrative is disinformation. Cubans practice their religions in peace, just not theocracy.

4. I did not mean all “true” Christians are Catholics or whatever.

I am a newbie and autistic (actual diagnosis). I care a lot for detail and took offense with misrepresentations. And I am still getting up to speed with the LGBT movement.

Today I realized this analogy. When Rede Globo (massive right-wing media corporation) sheds tears for “democracy”, I wish them go pound sand. They supported the military dictatorship for decades, and still distort reality in favor of capitalism, NATO, and Israel. Becoming softer is not enough. I would forgive them if they actually switched sides.

So I can relate to trans people who look at the historical crimes of organized religion (such as the Catholic Church), and who suffer religious hate even today, saying they will only respect the Catholic Church if she actually switches sides. Malcom X said: stop sweet talking!

Caring this much about the pope dying for it to become a struggle session is deeply embarrassing for all of us. It's the pope, he isn't that important of a dude, catholics are I guess supposed to do whatever he says but most don't. His suggestions are considered by many, that's about it.

Seems fairly mild so far, like cats hissing and growl-meowing at each other but not really going into it tooth and tail.

The last thing the pope did was excommunicate rock stackers. True story

Mostly a bunch of trans women yelling about rocks and cats

Is this what a hexbear struggle session is really like? Struck me more as a couple of people making really extreme statements and generally being mocked for it.

He just wants to touch grass

I think this was the first struggle session I witnessed live, all the others I've missed due to school/work/sleep/etc

Oooph yeah big day for the discourse

I'll never submit myself for criticism, because I've never done anything wrong!
