there's not a checklist of shit you need to check off to be ready for a relationship and/or having sex

There kind of is. There is such a thing as being unhealthy enough that you shouldn't be fishing for that sort of thing.

Including the sexual violence

I know you're kind of busy with other things, but this all still bothers me quite a lot. Of course the people decide, they always do, but it is the job of the vanguard party to try to lead them to the best decision. Saying "Oops, vote as you will" is tailism, it is failing to lead, and what they are actually saying, "Vote to stop Trump getting elected" is overtly reactionary because anyone with two brain cells understands this to be a direction to vote for Biden. This unconditional support of the Democratic Party is in service of the maintenance of neoliberalism, no matter how nice you think the guy's speeches are

Edit: Just to avoid spamming you:

Trump will do the genocide as well and probably double-down

You and every liberal says this, but how do you justify it? How can you say Trump will do more when Biden already sends tens of billions of "lethal aid" to Israel? You're just assuming that if Biden sends X, Trump will send 2X, but I have never seen any substantiation for this claim even though liberals constantly make it.

Isn't this pretty explicitly chasing?

If you want a great example of "Our noble government; Their perfidious regime" or however the meme goes, compare these articles:

I got that too. I feel like it's just what they do for answers that are broadly Leftist + hates Dems

It might be helpful to the survey to include a y/n so they don't need to guess whether you are a dom or a sub in that situation

You know, this makes me sad and I can't really nail down why. I think it's because their ignorance is so pointless. I want .ml to maintain its current position because it's the closest thing we have to a place where we can talk with them. I feel like, for many of them, their current position on what "tankies" (Marxists) are and what they think is holding on by the skin of its teeth, reliant completely on enculturation because it's wildly out of step with what the vast, vast majority of Marxists on any instance actually say.

I hope some of them come to understand and accept how they've been lied to.

I hate this liberal idpol sophism. The point of Marxism (etc.) is to be a science. We can and should complain about Darwin being a white chauvinist, but that doesn't mean we throw out evolution or his contributions to it, because the truth of them exist independently of his having said so, as is the point of science! It would be just as absurd to reject using your phone because it is "tainted" by having a touch screen and other parts that were originally invented by white men!

What we should care about with these evaluations is how conducive theories are to the destruction of, for example, white supremacy, by means of practical action aimed at definite ends. I'll be waiting for an approach that is better in this regard than Marxism. Let me tell you, an "ethos" of "service" is not going to cut it when the CIA sends a rightwing death squad to gut you like a fish.

Watch this fucker then rush to embrace white neoliberals who happen to be women

I don't know enough on the topic to distinguish mirrors, but I am pretty sure as concerns the instance rules all of those are fine. In my personal opinion, the answer to your last question is "Yes," but I also realize that arguing such a thing to someone whose attitude is oriented around personal entitlement (such as OP) is a waste of everyone's time. Something something Combat Liberalism.

YP is a refinement. Chai Ling was talking wild shit from the jump, YP escalated over time like you say.
