Again, some people don't have much. I'm doing pretty well, but I have zero leftism in my life outside of here. I need catharsis.

I can't "organize" because I live in a town of 400 trump supporters. I'm so beaten down by work and chores, all I want to do is chill in my free time. I have hobbies. Hell, I have property and some good friends who are always down to hang out on weekends.

Not everyone is as fortunate as me. I'm not saying hexbear or /r/cth was the movement, but it was something. It was a place to expose others to ideas and self crit. There are a ton of leftists here who can draw a direct line to their radicalization through the aforementioned websites and podcasts. Thats worth something, and I've always hated the attitude of "it's just a prank bro". Or that this place is just a huge garbage dump. Maybe that's the way some people use it, but others get a lot more out of it.
