@jefglass They’re BRG cultists first and foremost, and DSA membership is the price of entry. If BRG rage quit DSA tomorrow, you can bet his fans would be split between following him out the door and saying nothing, but none of them would criticize him.

@ahmedfromthere If it’s so spineless and undisciplined why are you sticking it out? Honest to god serious question. It seems like you hate it here, and everyone around you.

This guy’s only move lately is to borrow cover from other Arabs. After the Nithya vote he went on an explosive tear about how the NPC has betrayed Arabs. Such drama! It seems to me like plenty of Arabs still like DSA just fine. Quit hiding behind them and lead with YOUR opinions!

That isn’t not psychoanalysis. It’s observation.

[Sarah @Sarah_pdx]

disagree with SOR etc on plenty but wild how often people’s arguments against them are ‘nice “principles” buddy. unfortunately ive psychoanalyzed you and decided you believe in nothing have no strategy and think like a 5 year old” like damn cutting analysis you sure showed them

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen Likely correct. After all, you’re arguing with a troll account.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen Not really. I think you’re going to bat very hard for a chronic poster who has achieved no change ever out of a kneejerk assumption that everyone in DSA is racist and all critiques of Black members are filtered through that. I actually just think national organizing is pointless

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@Bennyoutbutchin Did you want a gold star for your “hurdur dsa is white” post? It would destroy the gold star economy if we had to give one out every time, but I’ll talk to my people.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

None of these are real. You have facilitated 100 Zoom calls, probably rancorously, and organized nothing.👍

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen You’re getting my ass really hard and aren’t scrambling to cover yours at all. Very solid rhetoric. Keep going!

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen Organizing with a split in mind is agitating for a split. Hope this helps.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@cruelmanbutfair @jsfriedman_ Oh, he’s active alright, it’s all just makework.

@DiscussingDSA into concrete political relationships with each other , including who are skeptical of DSA’s current approach to reformism so they can be radicalized further and land on the anti-reformist side of the inevitable split

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen If they never bring it into action, yes, it’s definitional idealism.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@cruelmanbutfair @jsfriedman_ BRG is barely active in his chapter, he just stood for election and got absolutely demolished. He organizes nationally on the back of his posting credentials. I’ll let you know when I see anything useful come out of national DSA.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen Glad to hear his crucial organizing is mostly just pointlessly factionalizing and agitating to a split though. Sounds about on par for the rest of DSA’s national organizing. Win!

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@MarxistHeathen Sounds idealistic to me. I only speak materialist.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@thirdintl There are way more white organizers who achieve nothing in DSA than Black ones, to be fair. But being a POC doesn’t make you a good organizer.

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@LoOrtega5 @seagoj It isn’t. It takes one to know one, eh?

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@cruelmanbutfair @jsfriedman_ If you agree national DSA’s work is not proactive across race, gender, and ideology lines, we’re on the same page. BRG is far from the only busywork national dude, and it isn’t because he’s Black . It’s all busywork!

[DiscussingDSA @DiscussingDSA]

@cruelmanbutfair @jsfriedman_ If there was something being organized in them, we would know. That’s how organizing works.
