A Reddit post called the picture “red fash”. I admit that it is controversial, since one may read it as mocking peaceful people who are not muscular, but on the other hand I think it is worthwhile to promote physical strength equally with mental strength and class consciousness. I bet that Specnaz, the special forces of USSR, were not formed from physically weak people. Maybe the picture is seen as a struggle between ideas of the “new left” and AES. What are your thoughts?

    Blaire White is a very visible example. She’s built a career out of making videos mocking leftists and reaffirming the bigotry of conservatives. She says the same things as Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and the like.

      is this any different than “leftist” grifters? anyone can be a jerk. that doesn’t make the concept any worse. just because a trans person is bad doesn’t make being trans bad. but in majority being a trans person means that you have critically thought about yourself and came to a conclusion. this shows critical thinking. a person might blindly or critically be cis. but nobody is blindly trans.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that being trans is bad. Just that being trans doesn’t automatically make a person a leftist. Some queer people are perfectly comfortable throwing everyone else under the bus once they get theirs.

          ok, i guess we understand each other and i won’t call every gender non-conforming person queer until further notice :) my original comment was a generalization. i have said stuff like “peertube is praxis” meaning that it’s a way to undermine the establishment. are all peertube instances communist? no! there are whole lot of reactionaries using peertube.
