    I think this is an issue of tone being lost over text, and the fact that us commies genuinely have a lot of experience dealing with people who unironically think WaPo and WSJ and the Guardian and all their favorite YouTubers make a holy amalgamation of truth and reason.

      I think I understand your point, although I don’t agree with it in these terms. assuming you’re talking about the edit, I still think that in a literature context you should be able to understand what you’re reading. failing to do so, it’s a grave matter. put in the fact that chances are that I’m older than the people writing in this thread - and just by this I’ve been on the far left point of view for a lot much more time - you understand why I get to cut to the thick of it and stand my point.

      that said, “us commies” as in “we commies” or “U.S.A. commies”? imho, there’s a huge difference.

      have a nice time, thank you.

        Many of us on lemmygrad are young, but some of us (not me, 26) are older, I’ve heard people reference being in 30s, 40s, there might be a token or two older.

        I meant “we commies,” but seeing as we’re in the English-speaking web this also means a lot of “USA commies.”

        You have a good one too!
