Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    In that case, I am worried that you seem to believe the average leftist is some kid sitting in the basement of his parents and blaiming capitalism for not getting laid.

      What makes you say that at all? Those in fact seemed to be the accusations of other posters in the thread towards the OOP, rather than me who was defending them?

        That you try to copy the social justice backlash. That was the main target group and trying to dunk the other site in a “Upvote” “Downvote” holy war sounds like that too.

          People are people, they all love a good dunk, its about us being social animals first and foremost. IMO, Its all about optics to 99% of people. It’s also where satire derives it’s power, this is a more toxic nastier version of that, fit for the 21st century online discourse.

          Just look at US elections right now as another example. Kamala doesn’t have some sort of hugely popular policy, she is simply good at dunking, as a result Trump’s optics have been utterly shattered.
