    Lemmy.ml isn’t an org, I’m not trying to suggest that it is. Leftists make memes and shitposts here, but when it comes to actual action, organizing in real life is always recommended.

      Yes. Agree. And I would suggest it is counterproductive to the point of being counter-revolutionary.

      A simulacrum mocking the landscape it seeks to map

          No worries. But making a movement into a farce of itself and encouraging infighting is right out of the 1970s cointel playbook.

          Even better if you can do the above to the point that the original ideology is no longer decently reflected in the current discourse

          (Note this is consistent with most online leftists spaces, so not throwing specific shade on ML, and gets into a whole greater problem with the role social tech platforms play in shaping discourse)
