lol same here! i was thinking it would be a 4chanlike den of depravity and quickly was like "omg everyone here is funny, welcoming, very much not like normal redditors, and the politics are good"

none of that personal responsibility fallback that every socdem/liberal subreddit was oozing with that constantly alienated me.

i didn't understand marxism/communism but was like "it can't be as bad as i thought if i agree with most everything here".

"At least we're not like those tankies at /r/chapotraphouse"

Translation: "I have reactionary opinions and got verbally slapped around for them by the mean chapo users."

haunting everyones minds is a hobby of ours

Imagine being proud of being ignorant like that. Chinese peasants literally had to learn to read, the communists literally had to reorganise their entire written language so people could learn it, and these latte sipping westerners brag about how watching a Contra Points video makes them wiser and more worldly than people who actually read.

what a mood. i got called a chapo for posting about the fash on /politics and you could track my radicalization from there. No wonder they shut it down
