So apparently /leftpol/ believes that criticizing NATO imperialism or showing up on RT makes you a hormone-taking mentally unstable Twitter ☭TANKIE☭, that Twitter can do as it pleases because it's a private company, purging accounts both on the left and the right because of supposed "Russian subversion" is a-ok, and also America is the most progressive country in the world where leftist opinions are featured in the corporate media.
these are the kind of people BO "unjustly" banned.
Brody Reed
But everyone's shitting on that person, OP.
Nolan Cruz
When I first visited and scrolled over the catalog I thought to myself that the thread quality on leftpol was hilariously bad. Then I opened some and realized that all of our trash has migrated there since I recognized some posters and their reoccurring topics (menshevik-apologia, US exceptionalism, defense of over a dozen US military bases in Syria at all cost, etc.). Now, mind you, these were the posters that were vehemently argued against here and haven't been able to drop their obsessions and anti-communist beliefs.
Adrian Adams
wait, I was under the impression the actual leftists were all there and the only people left here were guys like me
Henry Miller
Not to mention the fact that their "criticism" of BO is to regurgitate the Holla Forums invented sucky meme. If I have to take a guess the average age on leftypol has gone up a few years since they left.
Thomas Watson
OP doesn't care, SOMEONE SAID A THING, SO THE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH THE THING MUST LOVE THE THING THAT WAS SAID.
Jackson Edwards
>>>/leftpol/16312 >>>/leftpol/16445 I assume this is the same person.
>>>/leftpol/16457 >>>/leftpol/16477 That's probably the same person as above as well. But there is more:
>>>/leftpol/16408
>>>/leftpol/16458
>>>/leftpol/16611
>>>/leftpol/16889
>>>/leftpol/17677
>>>/leftpol/17647
It goes on like that. These hot takes are retarded.
Connor Myers
Saying that you are an obese tranny because you critcize American imperialism is literally Holla Forums. These people are not shy of using fascist talking points, but would whine 24/7 how the USSR was and the DPRK is "communism".
Zachary Barnes
forgot about word filter
Eli Miller
The reason why I made this thread was to point out the hypocrisy of the people down there, which I think is toxic for the left. Twitter does something objectively shitty, and I bet my ass that corporate Democrats or alphabet soup are involved, and the knee-jerk reaction of these individuals is to whine about Russia and to this into the 542986th debate about imperialism and Russia instead of attacking the bootlicking cunts who run Twitter or the people behind those shenanigans. You realize this is what the neoliberal establishment wants, right?
I mean, I hate to say this, but even fucking Holla Forums would deliver more quality content in such a thread. They would put aside their infighting, dig into this, and actually may or may not come up with some background connections behind this, even if 90% of their investigation is just paranoia its still more useful than a neutered "left" calling each other FSB-shills or CIA-shills. And I think the people who keep Russia-baiting in these threads know this very well.
Parker Martin
R0java fanboys are losing their minds after Turkey (and America) did what everyone here was saying they would do. Try not to be so hard on them.
Lucas Evans
This
Kevin Williams
Tbh I'm starting to think /leftpol/ is either half liberal or Holla Forums has been shilling on it
Brayden James
wew
Cooper Nguyen
Or maybe just rub it in as hard as you can so they get a memorable lesson. The left shouldn't be a safe space. Your criticism can be devastating yet polite.
Grayson Kelly
Is /leftpol/ filled with butthurt Ameritard liberals pretending to be socialists?
Ryan Roberts
yes.
Kayden Gutierrez
Well, looking at the flags and posts they definitely have more "ironic" posters (meaning recent Holla Forums converts) like Manarchists, market "socialists", anarkiddies, and flat out liberals.
Even if R0java succeeded and even toppled Assad and established a socialist Syria (lmfao). How long would it last between Turkey, Israel, Iran and Saudi Arabia?
Jaxon Sullivan
Also notice the unironic "turkroach" memes.
Evan Price
Turkroach memes are pretty great.
Blake Rodriguez
It's just a specific branch of the mudslime meme. Dehumanizing, in one word.
Asher Diaz

No autism wars between boards. Last time that happened a mod went rogue and deleted everything
Julian Gray
Go to hell, ya dumb tank. You think I enjoy working for a company that literally sets up death panels for cancer patients? Literally the only reason I'm here is because it's the only job I could snag after months of searching. And I'm one of the lucky ones; some folks I know have gone years without a paid position.
Dominic Scott
Is that a sufficient reason to anchor this thread? It's like saying "no schools from now on because school shooters." Besides, still a high percentage of posts in leftpol are about the BO butthurt, so not allowing us to reflect seems counter-productive as hell.
Dominic Flores
He was clearly joking.
Kevin Howard
vol is right, we have to engage the anarcho-liberal population of /leftpol/ there.
Jaxon Ward
seems very productive, indeed
Dominic Rogers
My bad. It's been a long week.
Jordan Gutierrez
Half-joking. Citizens of an imperialist country are complicit until they are actively fighting against the establishment.
t. not even a Turd Worldist
PS Do it again, bomber Harris
Jaxon Thompson
If you btfo them adequately, lurkers will be less likely to turn into anticommunists.
Even if we collectively suck at doing that, they're just gonna grow in /leftpol/ and BO is just going to ban them if they come here to spew black book of communism propaganda.
Camden Stewart
Sorry mate, but is complaining about /leftpol/ taboo now? I mean, they have dozens of threads complaining about Holla Forums as well.
Sebastian Nguyen
We're the farce, I see.
Ethan Jenkins
Make a better thread then, this is just cherry picking retarded bait and encouraging shit flinging.
Save my soul Been alternating between >>>/leftpol/ and Holla Forums. The moderation on the other board is a bit too lax and just a bunch of liberals, Holla Forumsaks and shit are just shiting up the board.
Sebastian Bennett
The only better thing at /leftpol/ are the flags. They have a cool Marxism-Leninism flag and a Juche flag.
Landon Ward
Flags here are more uniform which is aesthetically pleasing. I'm not too fond of every snowflake ideology getting a flag like its an actual thing outside the site. What's the practical use of a Juche flag? Nobody is a juche-ist outside NK.
Gavin Clark
at least they have a decent ML flag while we have this one.
Jason Wood
Jesus Fucking Christ that pro-American rhetoric.
Absolutely infantile. Not even anarchists and leftcoms are this fucking naive.
Elijah Gutierrez
Do you have to fucking rub it in?
Aaron Cook
can you explain what he's rubbing in? I thought The Kurds were winning the battle of Afrin, and they rejected SAA occupation.
James Evans
I can pick a dozen examples of people on leftypol being just as retarded. It really doesn't mean anything.
Brandon Thompson
For all of the circlejerking about the people that have been banned, noone seems to be able to muster any decent counter arguments to their positions, but then I guess thats why they got banned in the first place.
Carson Cox
they got banned because BO is a sectarian nigger, there was discussion aplenty before the big glorious uprising.
Joseph Campbell
Who is more sectarian the BO or a group of people who made a new board out of butthurt over a single word filter?
James Nelson
Holy fucking shit
Robert Kelly
What is more concerning to me is the fact that this place became a literal leftist subreddit. Holla Forums used to be fun, creative and diverse, and now I see anons using the term "manarchist" unironically. What happened, seriously? I mean, you should rather ponder on the fact that this board lost half of its posters in a couple of months, you bunch of fucking intellectual half-wits.
Christopher Bennett
I used to love this place, now it's just reddit. I'm glad someone created an alternative, let this place die with what little dignity it still has.
Blake Davis
The alternative is shit. It's only shitposts, e-celebs, liberals and Holla Forums astroturfing. I like Holla Forums the way it is right now. Look at the average post quality of /leftpol/ and it becomes clear we haven't lost the intellectual elite.
Camden Morris
Call these fags out then. This isn't new, you could always spot a skinwalker here or there by these slip-ups, and they should always go through a struggle session.
Eli James
Americans are so mind-washed with Russian boogeyman propaganda that it gets even in the left.
