Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

More live and let live for us all.
All of us. All the people. From the 50 states. And a Constitution that we need to stand up for, honor and believe in.
You want to wave an anarchy flag? Go somewhere else.
dammit!
But it is also good to see that the flags is being waved by a movement of decent people. Not to sound poetic and pathetic, but it is great to see those symbols being taken back from far right
But so many people want to require reading Marx in order to walk down the street in community.
Our government creates our currency Musk relies upon to pay his banks back
He just wants you to go broke
Is this ppl condemning the peace police?
Because fuck the peace police.
But really, I haven't seen anyone mad the olds are shuffling around out there.
They seem to respond to old-timey WW2 imagery like:
People who care about policy and voted for Trump will never vote socialist (let alone neoliberal) but people who are entirely vibes based will vote for us if the vibes are right
i think this is maybe a human problem, rather than something only left/right.
The left side of the political spectrum depends on mobilizing as many people as possible. And we should see it as a fundamental good to have more people involved.
of supporting someone they harassed…
i’m still a leftist, and the DSA is just people, at the end of the day
I think you’re just setting up leftists to fail with attitudes like this. Maybe that’s why people didn’t want you in their group, because they were tired of this preaching.
you just wanted to be the ones determining who is popular, and you’re mad if someone else did it who’s not you. what a waste of time
OK, I think we’re done here because the problem is one you’ve created yourself
Certainly the hipster contingent is more visible!
Cringe is exactly where we need to be. It's outside the comfort zone, and what's that but the bs we have been programmed into.
Cringe is a sign we're breaking free and deprogramming.
You WANT the cringe!

Many of our Normies understand that the far right is Revolutionary
This opens up new avenues
First Iron Rule of Resistance 2.0 -- The Reckoning:
"Remember Dr. Rick. If he'd call a foul on what you are doing, *do not do it.* If he would not object, proceed. Know where the line is."
Let it be said. Let it be done. Namaste.
If your movement has no room for that what is it for?
Remember when all the celebrities were singing "Imagine"?
And I think when it comes to the people that see politicians as heroes (Booker, AOC, etc.) it’s important to remember we have a culture of hero worship that we all require deprogramming from, and we’re all at different levels on that journey

“Is this a protest focused on direct action and confrontation?”
“Is this a place where I can bring my kids?”
“Is there a plan for civil disobedience?”
“clear strong point of solidarity” seems to conflate process for process sake vs process as a safeguard of relative freedom.
~5 yrs ago many of these folks were prematurely crowned as allies (even accomplices😱); I wanna help em earn it this time.
It’s a spectrum - your job is to be on it and inclusive.
What don't want to be reminded of your behavior?
Hate the idea of Black people telling yall how we warned you what would happen but you didn't listen.
Remember 53%, then 55%, then 53%.
Don't forget between 2016 and 2020 was that Women's March.
Because ffs.
Yall still using the 2020 already debunked talking points.
Gotta love the leftists...never changing up the playbook. Tell me how Bernie would have won.
The foundation of propaganda and persuasion.
We have a "department" called DOGE
Cringe personified by Big Balls and Musk
