It's the user who was on the other week talking about how I had a dormant tumblr with 4.5k followers
Well I've set up my blog to look like any other "aesthetic" blog (except, with communism) and I've tried to pander to the tumblr style as much as possible (eg putting "he/him" instead of "boy" in the bio - using your "pronouns" like this seems pretty in vogue at the moment)
I've only made two posts so far, the first one is picking up a couple of notes (7 at time of posting)
Not as much as I'd hoped, but I don't seem to be bleeding followers either, so I guess it's going ok, and I have lots of time to experiment with what's successful
What do you all think?
also if you have a leftist tumblr put url below and we can follow each other or something
Are you doing this ironically? I really hope you're doing this ironically.
Jace Hernandez
I'm trying to spread class consciousness on tumblr, which is difficult because of how deep in idpol & ideology the userbase is
They're not going to be convinced by some random stranger on the internet shouting READ ZIZEK FAGGOT at them
So yes I basically have to act like a massive faggot in order to endear myself to the tumblr faggots
Tell me, what are /you/ doing to help spread class consciousness? Talking shit on a mongolian pike-fishing board? Wow I'm impressed, really helping the cause there faggot

Fam I'm going undercover
That is what people on tumblr are like - if I want to assimilate among them I have to adopt their ways
Look at shit like this: 120pxl.tumblr.com kahloskid.tumblr.com sleepygogh.tumblr.com
This is literally what people on tumblr are like

Do you really want to assimilate special snow flakes? You do realize all this does is alienate normal people and make the left crazy right?
Isaiah Ramirez
*make the left look crazy
Ayden Fisher
ehhh, you're going to far with this "pink communism shit". You don't have to display such a pretense. Just be normal and polite. Remember that idpol is a cancer and not something to be cozy with. Don't do this shit. Tone it down.
Isaac Howard
Well Trotsky was a special snow flake before joining the Bolsheviks.
Jason Martin
That was aesthetic as fuck. Are there any tumblr blogs you like unironically?

I don't think catgirl drawfag put up the lefist catgirl drawings on her tumblr. But you might want to check if that's something you can upload.
I currently possess the URL marxmadness if you want it, but that's more for if you want a more casual, comedic vibe instead of a prim, #aesthetic one.
I'm the "tumblr native" that wrote that bigass post in the last thread, by the way.
I'll read the rest of the thread after the Dem convention.
Wyatt Carter
Let's say hypothetically, I had a tumblr account. Who should I be following?
Matthew Scott
m-maybe if I try really hard I can get them to change a little bit? :c
mate it's go big or go home
pretty certain catgirls are very much an imageboard culture thing, I don't think they'd translate very well. Probably woman hateric or something
ok I just threw up a little bit in my mouth
your post was really helpful m8 ily

The only reason to use tumblr is if you're using wifi that blocks porn sites and need to pull one out.
Tyler White
The only we can do it is by a fucking pre organized raid
the problem is we are small in numbers
Connor Wilson
Even Pu Yi could be rehabilitated.
Aaron Flores
Western civilization was a mistake.

This thread convinces me that leftcoms belong in the gulag
Bentley Kelly
Dem convention is boring ATM. Here I am again.
I'm bad with remembering URLs and generally avoid popular bloggers, but this is my best effort. I don't follow all of these people. I don't follow all of these people. Some of them I only recognize because of their association with other blogs I follow.
Leftist Blogging Staples Follow these people (the ones you like or kind of like) to be "with it" and follow their buddies from there if you're interested in their content.
- allcops.tumblr.com - beyonslayed.tumblr.com - cocainesocialist.tumblr.com - dailymarx.tumblr.com - dr-treyf.tumblr.com - edwad.tumblr.com - fullpraxisnow.tumblr.com - kropotkitten.tumblr.com - kurdishstruggle.tumblr.com (run by actual YPG/YPJ members… I'm not sure which one) - leftist-daily-reminders.tumblr.com - memeufacturing.tumblr.com (not recommended… just know who they are; personally I just ignore them) - redmensch.tumblr.com - redpantherparty.tumblr.com - sexualbolshevism.tumblr.com - social-cap1tal.tumblr.com - somuchforthetolerantleft.tumblr.com - the-red-church.tumblr.com (controversial) - wageslavememes.tumblr.com
Tumblr Funnymen/Aesthetic Bloggers Some of the "aesthetic" blogs I just find funny and that's why I lump it in with the tolerable jokesters.
- demonvision.tumblr.com (and co… just lots of people they reblog from IDFK, I follow a ton of people I found through them but you might not find them as funny as I do; might just be better to peruse the sources of their reblogs and follow them instead of demonvision because they make so many untagged personal posts) - fruitsoftheape100.tumblr.com (pair with sandsvendor100.tumblr.com) - gotitforcheap.tumblr.com - slimetony.tumblr.com - theweirdwideweb.tumblr.com
That's what I can remember right now. If anyone else has suggestions (or corrections), please add them.
Glad I could be of help earlier! Hope I can do that again this time.
I might give out my URLs, as long as you guys don't ravage me.

Fuck my dumb, gay ass. I wanted those makeshift headers to be bolded, not italicized. Too late now.

Aaron Evans
Almost all of these are embarrassing, they're all teenagers as well.
Evan Moore
does anyone have the meme about how liberals corrupt communism?
Aiden Gutierrez
It's tumblr. Of course they're teens using their blogs also as personal blogs and posting TV shows and movies they like too.
Nicholas Hall
Got one more. I remembered the blog existed, but forgot the URL.
kropotkindersurprise.tumblr.com
It's almost exclusively of working people fighting back and schadenfreude for lefties–cops, soldiers, and politicians encountering misfortune (like getting attacked by K9's, or getting molotovs thrown at them).

Holla Forums is going to have to accept that tumblrites are more likely converts than the /polacks/ that infest this site.
Elijah Green

Kevin Adams
feel free to languish in obscurity surrounded on all sides by people who hate you
at least the tumblrites are unfamiliar enough with Holla Forumss ideas to be fertile ground and aren't bleating "cultural marxism" with one breath and parroting five-decades of anti-communist propaganda with the other
Juan Hall
well we can get Holla Forumstards to socialism using right wing rhetoric "the wealth of the nation for the nation "
I disagree they'll be easier converts, but I agree many among them can be converted. One key thing to remember, however: When you see a Tumblr refugee spout SJW-isms on this board, flame the everloving shit out of them like you would a Holla Forumslack. We want converts, not infiltrators.

I became a communist because of tumblr. Tumblr has a relatively healthy and growing leftist wing that needs to be nurtured. It's entirely possible. They're concerned with "social justice", helping the little guy, and fighting the powerful, so we can easily convert them by putting them on the path that targets capitalism and exposes its hand in the oppression of black people, women, Muslims, etc..
They're mentally ill and/or insecure 14 year olds that watch too much anime. Don't worry about them. Most users aren't otherkin, anyway.
Logan Stewart
Communism will never work.
Grayson Edwards

Elijah Wood
trips confirmed.. a-are we wrong here Holla Forums?
You're more than welcome to put the catgirl stuff on there, I have it all on the twitter now (@catgirlspls) so you can repost from that if you want.
And yeah I'm also not sure how tumblr would respond which is why I haven't put it on mine.
Mason Price
I agree
aesthetic can be malleable but the theory has to be uncompromising.
Adrian Williams

Colton Hall
They wouldn't respond well. They just wouldn't get it or know catgirls embodying non-humanoids are 4chan maymay and stick theirs noses up at it.
Jayden Jones
You are so completely and totally out of touch that I am now certain you are Reddit. Your use of nigger slang was the first hint.
For god's sake, how can you be out of touch with tumblr of all things?
Is this what leftypol is like all the time? I came for the get but every thread I look in it's just sad. You guys deserve both of your candidates, and they represent you more than you know.
polite sage for making someone cry probably, jesus
John Diaz
Come one, catgirls are cute drawings of chicks for straight men to look at. Many of them look to be in their mid-teens, as well. Tumblr isn't fucking interested in catgirls. They are a niche thing localized to image boards.
confirmed for never having actually used tumblr at all
is this a huge meme
Colton Russell
I've regularly used that piece of shit website for 4 years. Have you even used it? I mean seriously used it not just follow porn blogs.
Nathan Roberts
Yes, actually, I was deeply involved and followed many political, aesthetic, cultural, and art blogs from all over the spectrum. I also followed a huge amount of "normie" blogs to keep myself grounded because I was going through a phase where I was afraid of disconnecting from the world. I can 100% confirm that tumblr is full of fujos who love fucking catgirls. Branch out dad
Easton Martinez
YUCK
John Thomas
Think of Tumblrinas like the ideological equivalent of runaway child crackwhores living in roach-infested tenements. We have to assume some of their external characteristics in order to even get close enough for them to reach out to us.
Andrew Kelly
In that analogy which of the external characteristics of the runaway crackwhore should I be emulating in order to reach out to them. I hope it's not smoking crack or selling my body.
This just screams Why not just write about class consciousness without aggressively challenging idpol? If that's you're goal, you don't need to do it this way to get your message across.
