    The purpose and thesis of stupidpol continues to elude me to this day. It’s truly an enigma and I’m not kidding and I’m not exaggerating and I gave an honest try to understand and despite being a leftist and terminally online I didn’t get it

      “Socialism” but only for white people, that’s it, that was the pathos and ethos…r/Stupidpol was founded because a bunch of chapo posters were banned for arguing that Native Americans were ethno-nationalists who should be marginalized politically

      Too many here have forgotten alot of those cockroaches pollute so-called countless “socialist” spaces online and that our takes on AOC dont remotely register on the broader discourse

      Which is why it’s so concerning so many in this thread believe Mike was referring to them specifically, Mike doesn’t even know we exist

      It was started by Marxists who thought if that if they criticized liberal identity politics enough they could get reactionaries to develop class consciousness. Total idealism, but unfortunately that describes most of the US left.
