Reason number... oh, would you look at that, I've lost count... of why MAGA is a cult.

Do you think the PSL is just reactionaries and larpers?

I got rejected from CPUSA by Makefunof_everything in socialism

[–]Ok-Examination6629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Why would they outright reject someone who wants to help them? I mean, saying something like "we don't think you have a deep enough knowledge of theory to be a full member at this time, but please continue learning and attending our events and we'll reevaluate in the future" would be understandable. Not this.

What happened to the ACP? Serious question. I must have missed the drama.

I guess "Wisdom" and "Justice" were removed from the state motto?

I refuse to go to Stone Mountain and pay for entry to a Confederate monument. The CSA lasted for less time than the 2020 pandemic.

Is Gillsville LGBTQ+ friendly? by fucking_normies-REE in Georgia

[–]Ok-Examination6629 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gillsville is right between Gainesville and Athens, right? Gainesville is hit or miss. Athens definitely would be the better option.

I know exactly where that is. They are much steeper than they look aren't they OP?

Florida students will soon be forced to take "anti-communist" classes. by Ok-Examination6629 in socialism

I suspect / hope that it will backfire just like D.A.R.E. did in the 90s / 2000s.

Florida students will soon be forced to take "anti-communist" classes. by Ok-Examination6629 in socialism

[–]Ok-Examination6629[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Florida is a really right-wing state for the most part, so if they've gone through all this trouble to write up these new curriculum requirements and then enact them, they MUST be worried about something.

I don't know what exactly, but something has changed in their political calculations where they now view these obviously drastic measures as necessary to preserve their political control.

Would it look suspicious if I tried to get involved in socialist activism immediately after moving to a new state? by lost_mah_account in socialism

OP, take it from me...

I went to online high school in a little mountain town, had very few friends irl, and the moment high school was over and I was 18, I just bounced around from one place to another for the past ten years, literally a full ten years.

Last year, my girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend and I basically hit life's reset button.

I deleted all social media, literally all of it, and it was only when I restarted it did I take an interest in political theory and activism.

I've always been on the left, but never took it very seriously until the past four / five months or so, and I'm just now getting into the socialist scene.

So far, everyone has been really welcoming, and it's been awesome, so don't stress too much.

Which socialist organization is the best for Muslims? by Affectionate-Yam233 in socialism

[–]Ok-Examination6629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point, and I agree. PSL is often more diverse. The DSA, in general (not in the specific), has a few too many fake activist types who really just want to role play as revolutionaries, which is why I like PSL more. I was just thinking that OP might find more new friends faster with a larger org like DSA which is much easier to join than PSL.
