here is the (unfortunately short) prolewiki article on revisionism, of which right deviation is one type. beyond the reformism example given there, the most common kind of right deviation i usually see is tailist bigotry, which includes things like promoting implicit racism or homophobia because "that's just what people believe around here, and we need to connect with them where they are at".

My thoughts are that… I don’t know who this book is for? The complete title is The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism, but it doesn’t really talk about Western Marxism as a movement. The author expects you to be familiar with western marxism already, i.e. having the same definition he does, and he never really expands on it.

This is pretty common among conservative books (and other media more generally). It's produced to give people who already agree with it confirmation that they are right ("It's in this very authoritative book!"), not to convince anyone or convey new or interesting information.

i'm so tired of libs (especially "leftists") saying things like this are a win, or even that this is a "pretty significant shift in the status quo" (literally quoting one of them) because they might consider restricting arm transfers. another one i saw mentioned potential domestic military raids as a reason not to vote for Trump. the american left is fucking cooked. willing to vote for a genocide to save themselves is pure cowardice.

that's an ergonomic nightmare. the keyboard is too high and the screen is too low. if you use that for more than a couple minutes at a time your shoulders will hate you.

"you can maybe criticize our ally, but only if you give an equal amount of time, or maybe a bit more, to criticizing their enemies"

lol at the person being all "why hasn't threads or bsky killed twitter yet?" like that would meaningfully improve the situation. those platforms also have a bunch of reactionaries on them, and well boosted by their algos to boot

to go back to the original post, where she is getting angry at zionists (presumably about the genocide israel is doing), i care much more whether you are doing anything about it than what emotions you have about it. different people work differently. i'd rather someone contribute to a local org and be ignorant of global struggles instead of spending all of their time getting angry at people online so that they contribute nothing.

the thing i find the most amusing is that right after Trump won, the #StillWithHer crowd were talking about how the media gave Trump so much free coverage and that's why #She lost. and here we are 4 years later with the media.... still giving Trump a bunch of free coverage, and they are absolutely ravenous for more.

iirc, she was caught up with one of the US backed LGBT orgs that were somewhere between anti-communist influence campaigns and outright spying

edit: i remembered incorrectly. see the medium article posted.
