  • stalked me across multiple threads

    Reflect on what? Looking back on all my interactions here outside of like one misunderstanding (which was later clarified) I haven't done anything other than generally politely give and explain my views on things, unless someone is openly hostile. Is getting your

    energy matched too much for you?

  • You really seem to give af scrolling my profile to throw a tantrum though? Is there something going on in your life? Do you need someone to talk to? Know youre not alone and you can reach out to those around you or get professional services if you need it.

  • Lmao

  • Who are you? What does any of this have to do with you? Did I hurt your feelings somewhere and you scrolled my profile to talk shit? Genuinely you need to go beyond touching grass, you need make love to the grass and have a happy grass family. I hope that's not too nasty for you you fucking child.

  • I know English is not everyone's first language it certainly isn't mine but I must ask, are you illiterate? Did you not read what you just quoted? I very clearly stepped away and realized I was being overly hostile due to outside factors and chilled out.

  • His comments were very helpful for me translating my political thoughts to English.

  • Some of the real leftists need to set up an org to do a war time style propoganda leaflet dropping but its just annotated copies of the 红宝书 being dropped from drones across major cities and rural communities.

  • I understand your point, and I agree that solidarity at the individual level depends on the person, there are certainly genuine leftists in the West. My comment was deliberately hyperbolic to emphasize the structural problem: as long as the broader organizations/movement fail to take themselves seriously and allow opportunists to dominate, abstract solidarity with individuals is largely ineffective and irrelevant. The hyperbole isn’t meant to condemn every individual, but to highlight the material reality that weak structures undermine revolutionary goals and the movement as a whole. Occasional cooperation is possible when interests align, but that is materially different from sustained, principled solidarity.

  • Oh I got a cowbee response I'm honored. Always like reading your posts/comments I always come away thinking how well thought out and well read they are. (As a longtime lemmygrad/hexbear/.ml lurker only recent poster)

    I largely agree that the western left appears to be shifting as material conditions for the labor aristocracy worsen and the fangs of imperialism turn inwards.

    At the same time I'm sure you can understand that at this moment in history calls from the western left for solidarity from the global south are slightly ridiculous and clearly from a place of privilege.

  • Well, that’s because these are two separate but connected points. From the perspective of the global south, the idea of solidarity with the western left in the abstract(or with western leftist organizations in general) doesn’t really make sense until they start taking themselves seriously, e.g., practicing proper gatekeeping. My wording was slightly hyperbolic, but the general point still stands. Obviously, occasional cooperation is possible when goals align, but that is different from genuine solidarity.

  • Seems unnecessarily mean spirited especially when I specifically apologized for being unnecessarily hostile.

  • That might be my bad, to me your “multibillion-dollar conglomerate” framing read like a very common 白左 shorthand that treats all large-scale production as inherently capitalist, a knee-jerk dismissal of Chinese socialism, I was pushing back against that.

  • Funny, your original comment framed it as AI being a “social good” problem, not chatbots specifically. You narrowed it down to hating chatbots after the discussion started. I'll agree on chatbots specifically but my wider point still stands: the capitalist conditions producing these tools shape how they appear and function. Chatbots are “stupid” in this incarnation because of profit-driven priorities, but that doesn’t make the underlying technology itself useless.
