The term is so loaded with homophobia that's it practically useless.
There are communities where leftists can openly discuss leftist theory and (to a lesser extent) praxis without being permabanned for thought crime like most spaces.
I find that fun. I haven't had the opportunity to join a circle jerk, but it sounds fun to me. So, in that sense, the answer to your question is a tentative, horny yes.
Not even just left to the streets. Many cities are death marching the homeless around, arresting, terrorizing, and stealing personal property of the homeless every step of the way.

Ah, the same Reporters Without Borders gaslighting the world about journalist deaths in Gaza?
You know how it's frustrating when far right reactionaries roll up in lib spaces on reddit spewing propaganda the sources of which they haven't investigated critically? That's you. You're doing that here. Please stop.
Human Rights Watch? Seriously? Do you look into your sources at all, or are you just happy to spread imperial apologia?
Wikipedia is a terrible source for current affairs.
Your attempts to smear the three gorges dam project are part of a tradition older than the Internet. Of course, the human rights watch was all over that propaganda.
but the tianaghur squarocide or something. I heard it on a podcast gimme a sec
Yeah the us would never force anyone off of land.
For clarification's sake, the coin is capitalism.
I think assassination as a political tool is a few millennia too old to be just a putin thing.
I mean, the Black Panthers murdered by the state are heroes in my eyes, ya know? That seems like a strange argument. As bleak as it is to mention, I feel I must point out that having only the fear of future violence while others must face violence presently is a privilege. The good thing is that getting involved in organizing is also a privilege, the other side of the coin I guess you could say. Way I think about it, you're gonna live with the fear of state violence already, so the fear from organizing is marginal, possibly negligible.
I hope you take a moment and reflect on why you insist on approaching comparative history in this way.
Simply trying to compare kill counts like history is call of duty only serves to dehumanize the victims.
In my view, just one aspect of the U.S. makes it the worst country ever: its role in the ecological crisis. The us is like three corporations in a trench coat, and a us corporation knew about anthropogenic climate change and kept that internal, and that's just one instance of fuckery where there are plenty more. That's the international elephant in the room which nobody seems willing to talk about. We need to also consider all the future atrocities as well as those in the past.
This, unironically.
If your "circle jerks" involve discussing the nuances of history and political theory, that's just a discussion.
If your "circle jerks" involve spreading imperial lies and frothing at the mouth for genocide, that's a problem.
Unfortunately, it seems the latter is much more acceptable on the Internet overall.
This question only serves to enable mudslinging while hiding behind a homophobic term.
