In their first comment too. I mean I know Reddit is a cesspool and I know r/communism is Gonzalo Central, but damn, it’s infected far. I went back on the platform to promote my articles because despite the malding, it drives a lot of traffic lol. Otherwise I would never touch that website (though the TrueAnon subreddit loves them and it creates interesting discussions, I’m not gonna lump them in with the rest of Reddit like that).

I forced that person in a struggle session over their take and they moved the goalposts until they decided to disengage lol. But it’s okay, they know what they said.

    It’s an even weirder argument to make after this whole convo because they started with the blanket “[all] fascists are better at geopolitics”. So which is it?

    The mind of the Redditor is impenetrable.

    How is it enjoyable to engage with patronising people who only pretend to address your arguments?

    It’s not 😭 but what’s funny is I get a lot of clicks and subscribers on Reddit, they just don’t say anything in the comments. Although they might also come from TrueAnon and the Deprogram subreddits, where they like my articles more. I should test that with the next one to get a feel of which subreddit they come from exactly. Once I get enough steam going on my substack that I don’t need Reddit, I might just go lurk those two subs once in a while but I’m done posting there lol.
