Socialism will never flourish so long as it’s advocates can’t differentiate liberals from fascists. https://twitter.com/metroatldsa/status/1335952171423178758
I don’t blame lefties for disliking Destiny but backing out of irl canvassing & coalition building because of edrama is exactly the sort of dumb petty shit I’d expect from a DSA chapter
To anyone who thinks Destiny’s past precludes him from being a political ally for canvassing: you would be ASTONISHED by what types of people historical socialist & labor movements reached out to. Very cancellable by modern e-leftie standards.
I’m a big advocate for tactical unity. Even if you disagree with a person, of think they’re a piece of shit, you work with them if there’s a common cause and you sort out the disagreements when the time comes. We should all want Georgia’s senate to go blue.
It’s doesn’t really matter because calling Destiny a Nazi is incredibly stupid either way and means that chapter is being informed by the same types of people who form opinions on me exclusively from other people’s retelling of angry twitter threads they read three months ago
IE betas
Cracking open State and Revolution to see if there’s a theoretical middle ground between working with a liberal who has bad optics and calling him a Nazi on Twitter, not seeing anything so far
