Quick clarifications for what it's worth:

  • primary focus is to fuck over the establishment and its bullshit duopoly. Debates about socialism or any kind of -ism are secondary because none of it matters as long as everything is controlled by the same assholes, whether blue or red. It's top vs bottom first, left vs right can come later. And there will have to be a left again for this to happen anyway, which isn't the case currently. There's nothing 'leftist' about democrats.

  • WotB has never been a "Bernie sub" filled with "Bernie Bros". It was always about the policies (healthcare, infrastructure, education, stopping the wars, throwing corrupt corporatist politicians out, all that) and was aligned with Bernie during his 2016 campaign because those were the policies he pretended to be willing to fight for. Given that he since abandoned all of those policies to instead focus on licking Biden's taint and pushing the BlueTeam™️ talking points, he can get fucked, all the way. That's also pretty much why, when I copied the banner images from the Reddit sub to put here, I kept the crowd and the title but didn't keep Bernie :)

So don't worry about all those misguided Bernie Bros who followed him right back into the democratic party, that's not what WotB is. Besides it's not a monolithic sub either, so if you're hoping for more diversity of opinions, this should fit pretty well :)

Not Dem Left or Woke Left or corrupt "Progressive" Left, but the old-left, left without representation.

Pretty much. And without absolutes or tribalism. Not everything 'on the left' is necessarily good, not everything 'on the right' is necessarily bad. Though most of everything 'in the center' does tend to be cowardly corrupt dogshit. Sit on your pretend fence for too long and you end up being a worthless pointless establishment bitch like Kyle.

Agreed!
