The "project" of the terminally online left seems to be to defend some concept of virtue, purity, and moralism. It's shockingly removed from the cultures of most orgs I've worked with-- except, hilariously, the equally ineffectual trots. Very similar to the trots actually, now that I think about it.

As long as you say your daily prayer "uncritical support to Cuba" then you're a virtuous internet Marxist, unlike those impure revisionists and liberals that interact with the filthy masses.

I'm really glad for spaces like this that helped radicalize me years ago, but Jesus Christ the cultures always seem to deteriorate as the more disciplined organizers focus on real life instead of posting.
