Comment on YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.

  50501 is a liberal movement whose only goal is pre-trump status quo.

  Lenin talks about the need for a working class Vanguard, otherwise these spontaneous protests/movements will always get co-opted by liberals and mainstream, and eventually fizzle away. We saw it happen with BLM, occupy, women’s march, etc

  I don’t have any long term hope for 50501, but we’re using the momentum to recruit for DSA and workers movements.

  Because activist regressive mods made their way into nearly every 50501 public form, including Lemmy months ago

  Got a permaban for calling out bot activity for the first time on the main instance, so fuck them and everyone involved. Their fault for not doing their jobs
