There are more weird people than non-weird anarchists, and the idea of anarchy is attractive to weird people. Pic somewhat related.
Moderating idpol leftist communities
Levi Morales

nope
but imo best chance is out-cucking them: accuse them of bigotry (but NOT too much! else you loose mod), woman/black hating etc. they will always cannibalize themselves, unless the person is some high-status eceleb or so
Austin Scott
Consistently bring up materialist critics of identity politics like Adolph Reed, and consistently post examples of shit IDpol people say or do that directly hurt left-wing interests.
It's important for you to do both. When you criticize identity politics, people who lack the context of how damaging it can be will assume the only real motive you have for doing that is because you're secretly a bigot. But you give them a theoretical perspective while you keep imprinting Joy Reid's tweets on their brains and they will know exactly what you're talking about
Carter Fisher
Just in case anyone from leftist plebbit browses Zig Forums, I'm not going to say which sub, in case someone could figure out who I am and show this thread to the mod team. But no it's not ChapoTrapHouse.
Alexander Howard
That's not how it works though. A person who gets drawn in to talk about idpol is going to keep talking about it. They're not suddenly going to start talking about their relationship to the means of production.
Sebastian Green
Yeah of course. A person changing their mind about something and evolving towards new conclusions, particularly with the aid of a milieu that shares those conclusions? That's impossible.
Angel Bailey
Use their language against them in a way that will deter them from wanting to discuss it there. Use alt accounts to downboat the stupid idpol posts. I don't know much about reddit so that might not work if they can see your IP associated with alts.
Brandon Bailey
The hyperfocus on identity is itself reflective of how little class matters to them and the current cultural moment of neoliberalism's cult of self-involvement (an obsession with self-improvement and the valorization of personal cultural identity above everything). If they know yet largely ignore class, there isn't much helping them. From their class position, it isn't in their interest to talk about class.
Asher Anderson
Ignore the userbase, focus on making sure all the other mods are you allies and stooges, then you can transform conversation.
Colton Parker
No, but this sounds like a waste of time. A lot of the people aren't there for Socialist revolution (like Zig Forums theoretically is); they are there for the idpol. Any attempt to change that wouldn't be a changing of their Socialist worldview, it would be a complete change of their worldview. Absolutely impossible without moderators on your side, and they're not. At most you could perhaps reference here a few times, and our user could concentrate the autism and attempt to convince the ones you "inadvertently" send here. The issue is that Zig Forums isn't entirely dedicated, so their is some issue with potentially becoming idpol, at least to some degree. Probably would take an inordinate amount of shut posting tho.
