Is this third positioning?

          No wonder the stupid ass nazi site doesn’t close down if all you supposed leftists are on there still. How are we going to have a revolution if everyone is too fucking ridiculously addicted to idiot shit like twitter to even quit it

            Twitter is a good source of news from journalists who have a lack of better options for a platform that gets information out as a quickly as possible. Thankfully, IRC is making a comeback.

            I personally don’t use it, but I understand someone having an account to keep an eye on what’s happening in the current chud-sphere or literal official white house statements. Or to find IRCs/channels for news. Paying for it is inexcusable, though.

              There’s a difference between one person ‘keeping an eye on it’ and thousands just not wanting to leave it because it’s what’s familiar. You don’t have to pay for it to support it you just have to be using it.

                I can agree with that still, but I don’t blame people using it for certain journalists who don’t have a substack or other form of “alternative media” that isn’t channel slop especially when there isn’t as much of a presence on alternatives.

                In the same vein as well, we can say a lot about pretty much anything we use as being a byproduct of serious evil exploitation.

          It’s the biggest social media platform that allows journalists and individuals to reach a large following easily, if one can access news about the genocide in Palestine or the analysis of socialist writers on there, I see it as worth using still.

    Serious question, has “anonymous” been on the right side of history, ever? I know the shtick is supposed to be that they’re not a centralized organization, so I guess they could host a myriad of ideologies, but since finding my way to anti-imperialist and communism, I’ve never heard of anything associated with anonymous that sounds coherently anti-imperialist, let alone in support of socialist projects specifically. They just seem vaguely anti-authority.

      I think it’s become clear now that they’re some type of feds. It’s no secret the cybersecurity field is full of them, with intelligence agencies (FBI and CIA in the US but their homologues in other countries too) recruiting from conferences etc, and even going to speak to them without talking about their fed involvement. All the hackers of old who eventually became feds too (even if on a freelance basis) after they served time in prison. They prefer to have these hackers for themselves rather than leave them as loose cannons.

      edit - oh yeah and the recent 4chan leaks that showed mods with a .gov email lol, though I don’t know how much of that is actually true. Be careful what you read online etc etc.

      No, and they aren’t even “anti-Auth”, the US isn’t on their chart, Britian ain’t there either. They are basically middle class moralists and join their colonial governments in terrorizing the infrastructure of states oppressed by Imperialism. They are little digital missionary rats.

        Gotcha, thanks. Do you know of any good sources on it I could look at for the details? Like operations they’ve taken credit for, for example. The only concrete example I can remember was something about Egypt from years back and at the (lib brain) time I thought it was cool, but given what I know now about imperialism and how it operates with claiming tyrannical any country that opposes it in any way, they were probably on the side of imperialism there.

          Besides their “War on Russia” and multiple times hacking the PRC, a big example would be them attacking Syria for claims that the government took out communication infra during a “crackdown”. It turns out, it was the US NSA that took down Syria’s telecoms during an ISIS invasion so Anonymous went out of their way to prevent any messaging between the government fighting ISIS and the civilian population.

        Most of you types are redditors, so I’ll add a “TL;DR”

        Ah yes, the communists, famously responsible for the billions sent to support the genocide in Gaza. I suppose if you want to manipulate “fascist” into whatever you want to believe it is; the dems and NATO are very innocent and those evils gommunists and twitter nazis are terrorists!

        Those communists, who want liberation of the working class and their ideology shining through successful examples globally such as China and Cuba (higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality than the average American btw) are totally evil terrorists coming to take away your rights as your congress and judicial system develops the nation into another form of ethno-nationalist religious state that it has always been against the indigenous, the african-american and the poor at the “end of history” with clear billionaires driving both your precious liberal regimes into the ground.

        Communists are definitely the problem /s. Just like in Weimar Germany and in nations all over the world we are reminded again and again and again that you folk serve no other purpose than to enable actual nazis and punch leftwards at anything progressive beyond bombing kids in Israel with billions of tax-dollars or ignoring the direct ways that Capital itself spawned all of this and how it perpetuates it for the necessity of it’s own survival.

        Of course, you also remind us of this by blindly ignoring everything we say, type or tell you folks with the intelligence of a bleating cattle and letting us know with drive-by comments on how much you were propagandized by the ACTIVELY genocidal state you live in, complicit with global destruction.

        TL;DR: Fuck you.

    This reminds me of how, shortly after Russia launched the SMO, some cringestream media outlet started calling people who don’t tow the NATO line online “information terrorists”.
