i am a leftist. i am also a bts fan. all of the self proclaimed “communists” who sit around trying to dunk on bts and armys all day are pathetic losers who are actively hurting the movement by misrepresenting anti-capitalist ideals to weaponize them against a boy group. grow up

none of these ppl are old enough to even BE workers, let alone hold actual meaningful discussions about the material realities of the working class. they use cherry picked, dogshit liberal takes to push their agenda that all armys are raging capitalists and that they’re being +

specifically persecuted for being communists rather than acknowledging that their arguments a) do not make sense and b) are so incredibly irrelevant and unimportant to the cause they claim to support that they are actively causing harm by monopolizing the conversation and +

giving leftism a bad image by directing targeted hostility to people who would, in all likelihood, respond well to a rational, good faith counter argument intended to educate rather than to scold—but that wouldn’t help feed their “i’m not like other teens” superiority complex.

there’s a difference between “holding your faves accountable” and being a hateful weirdo who starts salivating at any opportunity to cancel bts or make a stranger on the internet feel stupid. i’d like to see a lot less plotting on bts’ downfall and a lot more meaningful nuanced +

discussion about how to thoughtfully engage in fandom culture in a way that is compatible with leftist ideals. but if you actually do want to give marxism a bad name and turn people away from a belief system they likely already support to some degree then....... keep going ig

there’s a difference between ratioing + dunking on (polite terms for “harassing”) blue checkmark politicians + pundits and just spitefully bullying other young people who are not in positions of power or authority + whose beliefs probably align more closely to yours than not.

and before y’all come at me again with the “put down the thesaurus” and “go outside” i am literally on adderall rn and physically trapped indoors because of wildfire smoke. also this is literally just how i talk so if you can’t follow what i’m saying maybe you’re just stupid.

not to be like let people enjoy things but..... LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS!
