I don’t see it as left punching as much as calling out campists and .ml mods. I see it as holding up actual leftist values rather than forming a political philosophy around relitigating the cold war. I have never defended Israel, I have called out the issue with religious fundamentalism in this conflict. I have and will continue to call Israel an apartheid state.
Like I said, MLs literally cannot imagine the existence of political theory after 1924.
Also, my account is at least 5% femboy worship. At least do your homework.
Average chaser lol. People will unironically just declare "hey, I have a fetish for objectifying crossdressing twinks!" and then act like it's a completely normal, not creepy thing to say out of nowhere because it's funny when it's queer people being randomly fetishized
I'll let my partner know that you think they are a fetish. They'll get a kick out of it. If I was you I'd probably find your comment offensive.
you a PDA type? Damn, that's unfortunate.

if a chaser managed to pull the object of their fetishization that's really just torturing the poor victim; and I refuse to believe someone could be so self-hating as to dabble with such a prime example of an intellectual, ethical, and philosophical equivalent of a black hole like you. That's a level of self-hatred that shouldn't be possible without burning out its holder.
I don't think anyone really cares how you see it: its all just you railing at anyone to the left of Elizabeth Warren.
Leftist values like western chauvinism, anti-communism, pro-capitalism, and Zionism.
Lol, sure thing.
Yes, Marx definitely wrote a lot about "western chauvinism." Perhaps you mean "social chauvinism?" Because it's definitely very confusing language for the under studied. Perhaps you should pick up some German language.
Again, I just can't help but be struck by the stark chasm between this liturgical internet "leftism," which seems confused between the principals of pragmatic worker liberation, versus the fantasy that Lenin's autocracy ever achieved anything noteworthy. But I guess populist fan service gets engagement, so who cares about results, right?
"MLs cannot imagine political theory after 1924! But also, unless Karl Marx himself explicitly said it, it isn't real!'
Lol, perfect. I can tell you watch Oppenheimer recently...
You think the USSR wasn't a noteworthy improvement on imperial Russia? And your calling other people 'under-studied'? Good lord, liberals really are proudly ignorant.
MLs. MLs are the ones who care about results and 'practical workers liberation', rather than liberals, who simply demand instant utopia while defending capitalism.
