"In real life cultural radicalism and economic radicalism aren't mutually exclusive. They are usually correlated. The people who are marching about Gaza or doing trade unionism are the *exact same* people pushing some of the most mind-meltingly stupid versions of idpol. Just look at the DSA"
"White Canadians talking about how 'settlers aren't civilians', people asking if that means it's okay to kill white Canadians for being settlers and getting met with a choir of 'yes' from the DSA crowd"
"This is your modern communist party. Even if you go a little bit further than DSA, your Marxist parties are most likely impotent fart-sniffers. This is what organizing looks like. Humiliating yourself in front of normal people, jerking each other off during reading clubs, giving away your hard-earne"
"Had a friend move far away and make new friends. We all play stupid fucking video games with each other and talk over discord. One of his Yankee friends is a card-carrying DSA guy who likes to rant and hector people about dumb fucking politics."
"Really takes a lot to bite my tongue and not say this to a woman I know who thinks she's "androgynous" and adopted she/them pronouns in the last 6 months because she cut her hair slightly less than shoulder length and is otherwise completely feminine presenting, all because she started dating some s"
"The only thing that's changed is the demographic of straight men that it's marketed to; previously DSA type straight men, currently groyper straight men."
"she goes to the dsa meeting but theyre all kissing a big marble statue of otto strasser."
"Really seems like being an epic socialist has sunk back down to the level of popularity it had before Bernie came along. Maybe it's just my own personal disgust towards DSA, etc. mounting, but I feel like it's just really uncool right now to be a commie."
"what is with this? is it the dismissal of beauty as truth or as a valuable asset? is it because unattractive people need hobbies/ shared interests to make connections more than attractive people do? why do they not take care of themselves/ give a fuck about what they look like?"
"I'm worried he'll go back to being a 'open borders, abolish the police' DSA type and become completely ineffective and ruin the left's image further."
"**4. No conventional politics** - no libshits à la r/destiny or r/neoliberal - no wide-eyed DSA-esque political activism - no neocons - no unironic trump support"
"Not sure why the left and DSA are basically libertarians on this issue."
"I have been a member of my local DSA chapter for some time now, since they're (sadly) the only people in my city that actually move money into progressive politics, but they're so fucking unbearable. socially I get nothing from them because everyone involved is down with the constant 'point of privi"
"The DSA today is virtually just college kids crying socialism to subsidize their bourgeois lifestyle. They'd rather die with dignity as out-of-work dog-walkers than even think about solidarity with WWE-enjoyers who go to Dollar General."
"I live in the PNW and petty crime is at an all time high regardless of what statistic or anecdote the local DSA wants to put out."
"Aside from your personal grievances with the average scrawny DSA das kapital-thumping brooklynite, what do you actually have against worker movements in the global south, the push for degrowth, repossessing the means of production, and so on?"
"I'm sure many of you can attest to the fact that the quality of a DSA branch rises in proportion to the amount of over-35's they can recruit. You can't rely on goodwill and liberal-minded-bleeding-heart-'socialism.' You can, however, rely on plain-ol' desperation."
"Heck, my cousin, who is a philosophy major and has two doctors for parents, finds that people don't value his opinion as much at the DSA meetings despite him making a mere $17 an hour."
"Just some milquetoast DSA nerd talking about how a Youtuber did a racism for a fucking hour. Communism has gotten the most popular it's been in decades and this is how Lefties spend their precious time? Making analysis videos like how watching the Care Bears is praxis because it's anti-consumerist o"
"I don't know anything about the 2018 NY art/literature/DSA scene, but I really can't wrap my mind around how this podcast got to be so well-known so quickly at the beginning."
"there are retarded DSA caucuses that won't endorse Bernie because he isn't left enough. Dirtbag shit sucks... it really is just epic rad libs and anarcho fart pixies reaffirming each other."
"was there a centralised DSA missive saying it's OK to like Anna now?"
"Serious question sorry the DSA just seems like a sad social club but I do like actually want to make the world less retarded"
"Good thing the head of the DSA is already a Jewish Podcaster"
"The relief of being able to hear other people say retard is not enough. I want a lobotomy and to never hear the words "The DSA is a product of the Democratic Party" again."

"They want to charge me $15/month minimum for membership and a current member warned that leadership will 'pressure [me] into hard asks' and that I need to 'get comfortable saying no to avoid burnout'. Pizza parties included. Feels like a fucking scam lmfao like having a second even more condescendin"
