    You’re throwing away a genuine opportunity to add clarity and start a discussion with a likeminded person because you’re offended? How on earth do you expect to progress unless we can talk about our ideas?

      We don’t need people that push a divisive narrative and push us away from each other.

      This is the kind of shit astroturfing bots do, and it works, it’s toxic AF.

        You’ve said at least twice in this thread that we’re “toxic” and should “gtfo” for discussing leftist ideas, and you’re suggesting that we’re divisive? Just be quiet and let us work. You’re free to leave if you don’t like it, but there’s nothing to gain by preventing dialogue.

      I doubt they’re offended. It’s more likely that, as a leftist, they are justifiably concerned about being provoked into making illegal (if morally justified) threats. There’s a long history of state agents infiltrating leftist spaces to provoke illegal behavior (which is often made illegal specifically to target leftists).
