Not who you asked, but it really is just a group of rowdy leftists that do not tolerate liberalism of any manner. Defederation has resulted in an inflated mythology surrounding them, as though they are a pack of rabid animals, but if you go on their site it's pretty normal for a leftist space.
A dirtbag left space, certainly. You’ll get dogpiled for most any dissenting opinions, but it’s generally “here’s [link] where you’re dumb and wrong, do better” not “kys bootlicker”.
I don’t get ppb as the peak of comedy, they can keep that
I tried finding the point of that opinion piece you linked and found only frustration. Not going after you but the author really. On a different note, could you tell me what ppb is? I looked it up and only found parts per billion
I think that’s the point, no? They’re enthusiastic, but turn that energy into online spaces to argue. Yes there’s organizing in meatspace, but largely devolves into online circle-jerks. Like us all.
Ppb
To your point about organizing there are seemingly more folks on there who do it for real, i don't have numbers tho just vibes from hearing peeps on there talking about their work. Ymmv. But you're not chiding them for not being political enough are you? They have no more responsibility to do that than you or i do (a responsibility i personally haven't risen to since Bernie).
Ahhhahaha i should have known. But i love ppb (and all their cool custom emojis) so we'll have to disagree on that one.
Yeah, toilet humor is not for me either.
Yep, hence describing them as rowdy. They are kinda like twitch chat in many ways.
