generally it seems like ppl use social platforms to keep up w their not close friends and messaging platforms to keep u w their close friends, so surveying the landscape just based on what u see publicly can be misleading imho

i find it sad and funny that ILX has become a think tank for a workers party advocating for strong centralized govt when apparently most ilxors neither a) work in govt or b) work at all

I kinda wish posters like silby took a year to like, live in Oakland, just to see whether opinions stay the same or change from experience -- not to be a dick, but just that our personal experiences significantly affect our belief systems
