I agree, but I also don’t feel the need to sugar coat topics to appease liberals in our explicitly leftist space.

As usual we are all correct here

If this is just a space for lefties, we shouldn’t get so high on our own supply that we forget how to talk to libs, or the necessity of persuading people to join us.

If this is a lefty space that is frequently visited by non-leftists, and can be used as a way to persuade them, then we shouldn’t be staking out the hottest possible take and telling people they should be shot if they disagree.

Hate it to break the news, but to be quite frank, literaly nobody believes this, nobody sees HB like this, certainly if you stick around for long enough you’d have seen the cycles of people coming and going and how discourse changes.

Believe it or not this site used to be quite a bit more in favor of “harm reduction” in 2020. The current trend you see of complete rejection of Biden is not something that came overnight, even if for some that was Oct 7th, for most others 2o20 was already the compromise. Just go back and look at the trauma people here got from Biden’s handling of COVID.

That is now part of this site history, “harm reduction” is now a complete and utter shitty joke and a meme as a result.

So as you can see, nobody now visiting this site believes there will be any discourse with people to the right of us like liberal dems. We did that and the Americans here already got burned from it.

We welcome liberals and people further to the right if they’re honest about learning and changing, but nobody is under the illusion there is any debate or convincing anyone anymore. We tell Libs can go and eat shit and die, after all its what they told us throughout COVID for example.

I am amenable to this vibe but also its important to demonstrate to reddit brained that we have actually done more work in developing a politics that has materially worked far greater for far more people than anything they have conceived of. They’re here as guests and can ask questions in good faith but assertions are just a stupid thing to do going into any space that is dominated by any ideology

I don’t think “well, gee, I know you love the Democrats, and who knows, maybe they had good intentions when they tried to criminalise homelessness” will lead to a mass movement

I’m not saying anything close to that. “Democrats will piss and moan and then go right along with the worst shit Republicans do” is basically the opposite.

Sticking to the actual facts – Democrats are immediately going along with this horrible thing Republicans did – does not mean pulling punches, or watering down how shitty Democrats are.

Sticking to the actual facts, both Republicans and Democrats are doing fucked up shit. It’s not “Republicans do bad thing” followed by “Democrats follow along”

You don’t go “whoops, guess I’ll criminalize homelessness now that it’s an option”

You don’t dilute the bastards’ crimes even by 1%, or the liberals will go “see, we may not be perfect, but it was the Republicans who started this! It’s not our fault”
