    Man you really need to work on your communication if you ever want anyone to listen to you.

    This is very much so a you problem because you’re not going to get far acting like this to people who agree with you.

            Pls entertain my curiosity: Usually the term (“AmeriKKKa” and variants) marks someone as a Maoist, from what I know. I think it came from those circles. Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up. I think it’s pretty hilarious, my father had the KKK burn a cross on his lawn in Mississippi, back in the day apparently,* so I do not take a lot of offence to the critique. I just assume everyone that uses it is a Maoist lol.

            * He was a lawyer that took on cases from non-whites, I think this was the 1960-70s. We’re from the NE, so we don’t play like that.

              Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up.

              I do know that Maoists use it, but I think I picked it up when I read about some Black Panthers using it (I mean they probably were Maoists). And also I started doing this when some snarky shitlibs were like “oh you shouldn’t say ‘America’ because Central America is ‘America’” so I’m just like “then I guess we’re doing this now” 😆.

              I’m an anarchist so of course not a Maoist, but I absolutely do not disagree with Maoists about the particular issue of America not being a good thing. Sorry if I’m being a bit annoying but this stuff is super important me, i.e. it’s important to have a good understanding of recent history.
