That the left is complaining about how they don't have their equivalent of a Joe Rogan or anyone popular on their side. And how the right has built all this infrastructure to go against them.
The irony is real the left has never built anything all they do is infiltrate and take over something that someone else has built up and then make it dog shit.

@PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter Poastoids fight over the most retarded shit. It's part of the reason why I mostly stopped caring about the "dissident right". Link related.

@arc absolutely and weirdly enough the right wing is pretty much accepting these people on average and merging ideologies. With only a little bit of infighting every now and then. If we play our cards right and we make sure we make our message very clear and keep playing to our strings we could have near multiple decades of our ideology ruling.

@Mr_NutterButter And well, they did have Joe Rogan, he was a very typical urban city liberal guy until they fucked with him. His stances haven't even changed much. And it still looks like they haven't learned their lesson, everyone over there is infighting like a retarded Doom enemy! But whatever, it's entertaining.

@PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter It's pretty sad really. A lot of these Poastoids are probably younger than I am, and they probably only know Internet culture for getting into shitty arguments with people online, constantly having to pick a side on every issue, and trying to make a lolcow out of everyone they disagree with.

@PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter Just looking at old-school Internet forums has shown me how much has changed. At least on those, all of the debates and political discussions would be contained in certain subforums and people got along outside of said subforums.
I talked about this a while back, but there is this forum for the unofficial Quintet/Soul Blazer trilogy called TerraEarth. It's still around, but nowhere near as active as it used to be. On it, there is a subforum for debates, except these debates are nothing like the right-wing (or left-wing) bloodsports we see today. There is almost zero ideological bias. People came up with some of the craziest conspiracy theories. People from all over (and off) the political compass had open minded discussions, and nothing was off the table. Of course, people naturally argued, but people didn't cancel or make lolcows out of each other. And it being all contained in a single subforum meant that participating in such debates is 100% optional. You almost never find that happening today unless you really know where to look.

But besides that, the other thing I don't like about the modern Internet is that you really can't just use the Internet just to show of your creativity anymore. You HAVE to pick a side. It's inevitable that someone with a pink and cyan striped flag will point a gun to your head, asking you to say "trans rights". Hell, even merely choosing what community or platform to be on (leftists on BlueSky, boomer rightoids on Gab and Minds, etc) is a political statement in of itself.

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter I mean, I do agree that space colonization is much harder than proponents make it out to be. I'm not saying that it is impossible, but if it does happen, it's not going to be like the movies, and life for the colonists will probably be a living hell at least until the colonies become self-sustainable.
I just don't get why it's such a divisive issue. Regardless on whether or not you have faith in it, I don't see why you should stop people from at least trying.
