I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

The observation you've made about the age of my account and the focus of my comments is quite astute. However, it's essential to recognize the inherent nature of online platforms where every account has its beginning. At some point, even your account, 'TheAnonymouseJoker,' was newly created, and your initial comments, presumably, were directed towards specific discussions or individuals.

This early focus does not inherently imply ill intent or duplicity, just as it didn't in your case. To suggest otherwise might reflect a double standard, where one's own historical actions are exempt from the judgment being applied to others. It's a common psychological defense mechanism to project one's behavior or motivations onto others, especially when facing scrutiny or criticism.

Moreover, focusing on the age of my account and directing attention to it can be seen as a tactical deflection from the primary topic of our discussion. It's an intriguing example of shifting the narrative to avoid addressing the substantive issues at hand, possibly indicative of a discomfort with the content of the conversation or an attempt to distract from one's own character traits that might be under examination.

In a broader academic sense, this is an interesting demonstration of psychological operations - a strategic move to influence or alter the perception of the discussion. Your capabilities in this regard seem more aligned with the aspirations of an amateur hobbyist, perhaps daydreaming about professional-level risk management engagements. It's a scenario more befitting a red team exercise in theory rather than in practice, suggesting a gap between ambition and actual skill. But let's remember, the key to any meaningful and productive dialogue is to stick to the topic and engage with the arguments presented, rather than veering off into personal attributions or conjectures about motivations. Shall we redirect our focus back to the central issue?
