Thank you for providing a great example of the propaganda tactic often called “accusations in a mirror.” This is more often referenced with the term projection.

This, unironically.
If your “circle jerks” involve discussing the nuances of history and political theory, that’s just a discussion.
If your “circle jerks” involve spreading imperial lies and frothing at the mouth for genocide, that’s a problem.
Unfortunately, it seems the latter is much more acceptable on the Internet overall.
This question only serves to enable mudslinging while hiding behind a homophobic term.
The term is so loaded with homophobia that’s it practically useless.
There are communities where leftists can openly discuss leftist theory and (to a lesser extent) praxis without being permabanned for thought crime like most spaces.
I find that fun. I haven’t had the opportunity to join a circle jerk, but it sounds fun to me. So, in that sense, the answer to your question is a tentative, horny yes.

4·2 days agoIsn’t the BLS compromised and actively suppressing information (beyond the usual lies by omission and goalpost-shifting)? I would expect the truth to be much worse than the report indicates.
Not even just left to the streets. Many cities are death marching the homeless around, arresting, terrorizing, and stealing personal property of the homeless every step of the way.

Ah, the same Reporters Without Borders gaslighting the world about journalist deaths in Gaza?
You know how it’s frustrating when far right reactionaries roll up in lib spaces on reddit spewing propaganda the sources of which they haven’t investigated critically? That’s you. You’re doing that here. Please stop.
Human Rights Watch? Seriously? Do you look into your sources at all, or are you just happy to spread imperial apologia?
Wikipedia is a terrible source for current affairs.
Your attempts to smear the three gorges dam project are part of a tradition older than the Internet. Of course, the human rights watch was all over that propaganda.
but the tianaghur squarocide or something. I heard it on a podcast gimme a sec
Yeah the us would never force anyone off of land.
Also the first thing I said was that it will not be allowed to happen. That pretty clearly indicates I don’t believe in it, at least in this place and time. Nice snark nonetheless
You kick started this by saying “there’s a reckoning coming for Democrats” lol this thread is not overall about that shit

2·2 days agoNah. “What do you expect someone to do that changes anything” was the question. One must win the battle in one’s own mind. You’re the one using the word concrete now, for the first time.
Haha I relate to that. I recently started applying to something, got hung up on a question, and realized I had started the process already and gotten hung up on the same spot

Then fuck off with the vote blue no matter who bullshit

Isn’t this just standard practice for nuclear-armed states? Seems like abc is doing a little fearmongering
