I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol

Yey or ney for him?

As someone said in the post

As far as I can tell, he’s a guy who spends all his time posting about how all leftists do is post.

And this ain’t the first time, Roderick’s a bit terminally online, arguing against other based progressive like JT (Second Thought) and Michael Hudson…

    dodging critique by hiding behind “it’s a site for memes” isn’t doing any good to anyone that actually wants change

    Our political memes should be both funny and a good reflection of our politics; it’s right there in the concept itself. Of course you don’t hold them to the same standards you would theory, but if the political point is sloppy enough it’s just not a very good meme.

    That’s also setting aside occasions where people are having a substantive discussion and someone cops out with “come on this is just a meme board.” That flies some for memes themselves and joke threads, but there are plenty of run-of-the-mill news discussions where that pops up, too.
