Hexbear is chill and all but you are probably better off looking into joining a local org.
Cooler still is when someone from your org says some commie shit and you're like, "I wonder if this person is on Hexbear?"
I recommended HB to someone who seemed fairly online/zoomer at my party meeting lol. They said they had heard of it but we're trying to be less online which didn't make me feel bad at all noooooo 🙃
One of the people I already asked to help with setting up this PSL branch, I met through our local Food Not Bombs and he's legit the only person I've ever heard openly admit to being a Marxist around here that wasn't tied to a meme or a joke. We've had 2 discussions so far about Marxism and it's so damn refreshing. I am not sure if he's on here but wouldn't be surprised with how he talks lol.
Yeah that's probably good advice. Just don't know of any in my area.
If you are able to put the effort into it, you can probably start a chapter for your preferred org in your area. I'm in the early stages of doing that for the PSL. I know we have at least a dozen or so like-minded people here and more will peobsbly start coming out of hiding but I'm gonna be putting in the effort to get them together. It's not gonna be easy work though.
I take it this is a happy cry? PSL had a surge after the election and I'm partially responsible for that lol.
It is; welcome to the
, comrade.
Ayee! Good to be involved in something again.
Fully agreed. I think hexbear is a great place to discuss theory, events, and methods of organizing. But general-invitation IRL meetups? I'd be wary.
I sort of consider those I've had frequent convos on here as internet friends but I'm not sure offline would be the best idea lol. Wary for sure. Like if I meet people out and about that are leftists and find out later they are on here, that's a bit different.
Could be a Twitter commie. Lot of overlap
i once lived down the road from a pretty well known twitter commie we still never met up but almost did lol. i dunno i was so scared to inherit their enemies somehow
