You're going to get called an ultra and a patsoc

Huh? When has this happened?

I've seen plenty of disagreement with the folks who think any participation in electoralism is pointless but I've never seen the response be either of those things lol

by these people

This is... Needlessly rude and divisive? Highly uncomradely? You're clearly drawing a divisive line between yourself and others.

I support participation in electoralism as a platform to spread socialist ideas. Do I think electoralism will bring about socialism? No. But not participating in it puts you at odds with Lenin so you're gonna have to have a stronger justification than some name slinging or inventing scenarios that haven't happened here.

https://hexbear.net/comment/6389886 this thread specifically is where I was called an ultra and also told to join the ACP for criticising Mamdani

This is... Needlessly rude and divisive? Highly uncomradely?

if you can't even be intransigiently argumentative on the offshoot forum for the chapotraphouse subreddit these days then the internet really is a waste of time

I just think "you people" and "these people" have something to them that are... I don't know. I find them really nasty phrases personally but can't really describe why. Someone might know what I mean though.

It's a very othering way to talk about people, talking about "those people" as if they were A) a monolith and B) different from "our people" and by implication are bad or negative in some way.

I would give revolut the benefit of the doubt at this point, I don't think they were trying to imply horrible things about people, probably just a poor choice of words.
