My own experience with local organizing in the Imperial Corps is similar but different in important ways.
The local communist group is trying to be active in impactful wats, especially around Palestine, which is awesome. At the end of the day, we work with a ton of people that are not communists, which is great! We're trying to bring people in, and after all, the group that we are directly participating in is a pro-Palestine group, not communist directly.
But many of the core members seem to have a lot more emphasis on building "us", instead of helping Palestine. And that has rubbed a bunch of people, including me, the wrong way. In fact, they aren't necessarily ultra-communists that are armchair theorists, but unfortunately they just aren't seemingly doing the work that the public actually wants.
To be fair, organizing around my area is really tough. There's a ton of anarchists who would rather just light fires and walk away than do what we would call principled work, communist or not.
Don't feel bad about not wanting to participate in the purists or the ones that maybe don't have their heart in the right place. It's totally fine, and it doesn't make you a liberal, and I don't think anybody on here is gonna think less of you for it.
I'm gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don't have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.
It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it's weird.
I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that's just a weird feeling.

Queue the parenting quote.
If China was doing this the west would call it genocide.
Oh boy, yeah, I was in high school around that time. Not super conscious about things, but man, I can imagine that the internet of the day was certainly on fire.
Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I'm outside the city nowadays, so it's a lot harder for me to do in-person events.
Im planning getting re-involved, but that's gonna take awhile unfortunately.
Too real!
Sad, but at least I see it now :/
He was hiding in a bush presumably waiting for him to come by or something and Secret Service saw his gun pointing out of the bush and shot at him.
Pretty pathetic in my opinion.
They even admitted that there's a lot of dense cover around and he'd basically be invisible if he didn't stick his gun out.
I fell for it. But OMG that was hilarious.

Jesus, if she said something like remotely pro-communist, then at least that would make sense to a propagandized population.. Literally, all she said was, I'm here... And picture of her having fun.
Americans are becoming so brainbroken that literally just mentioning China without automatically talking about how terrible and horrible and evil it is makes you a CCP shill.
On the other hand, it's getting easier and easier to prove to people how fucking stupid Usonians are. Instead of digging up some crazy mask-off quote by some nut job in Congress ( But I repeat myself...), you can basically just gesture broadly to Twitter... Err.. X.

Literally just survivorship bias!
The ones who survived to grow old were the ones that benefited from the system. Thus they think the system did just fine. Because for them, it did!
