“I honestly can’t tell if this is satire. Do you really think ‘choosing’ an unrelated empty track is some kind of moral high ground?”
It’s making fun of electoral politics. Satire in one way, but a sad truth in another. The moral high-ground has been us and anarchists organizing and trying to push for actual change.
General hostility/passive-aggressiveness. The track isn’t “unrelated”, it’s a direct reference to voting third party and/or not voting at all in the election cycle that just happened. So, it’s unclear if you were specifically invalidating that on purpose or just didn’t understand it, hence the admittedly rude comment on media literacy. I perhaps thought you commented on the wrong instance, which I was mistaken.
Us communists accurately predicted how this election would go, where Kamala has gone wrong and have been desperately pleading liberals to take a stand. Instead, we get treated to liberals going full posting “What if I reported my Trump neighbor’s family to ICE” on /r/unethicallifetips and berating us for not kowtowing their dying neoliberal empire and shifting right with them.
But in general, you imitated a hostile attitude/tone. No one here has time to be belittled by liberals or centrists (not saying you are one but other user might have assumed) because that’s why; amongst many more important reasons; this space was created. I’ve been learning to try to not flame as much as I lost quite a bit of control in the past two days; watching most of the country embrace red-fascism openly and being surrounded by smoldering liberals from “both sides” will do that to you. It’s why us communists are so hostile, wise-cracking and jaded sometimes. Most of the time, we just don’t get listened to or actually taken seriously unless we directly threaten the interests of the ruling class. Then people get shot, like Fred Hampton. So yes, a general flavor of cynicism exists. It isn’t unjustified, though; if over-zealous at times.
I broke it down as constructively and communicated with you as clearly as possible. If you’d have anything else you’d like to ask or know, feel free to ask. I don’t carry any hostility towards you; even if you feel otherwise.
