Hello to all the new guys, gals, and enby pals. So glad you are here.
Just a heads up, this site is pretty leftist which means that it can and does sometimes get targeted by right-wing assholes and more. There is a nonzero chance that it will be (or even has been) targeted by the state.
Therefore, if you have your profile picture set to a real picture of yourself I would highly recommend that you don’t. Of course, if you feel safe or whatever and want to strut your stuff then by all means. And additionally realize that just because you have a silly avatar or historical figure (mine is Lenin’s mugshot) you can probably still be identified if someone really had full access to the backend and shit, because OPSec is hard and a million things expose you.
But I figure at least make a bad actor work for it.
Anyways, don’t let me scare you I just wanted you to be informed and safe.
And once again, welcome!

Also it pays to lie constantly about personal details.
I’m a liberal, so is my hulking mass of a masculine husband. Every evening we force our 7 children to read Francis Fukuyama books because they all want to be professional landlords and healthcare CEOSs when they’re grown up. My liberal sister, who is married to a Proud Boy, does the same but with the Turner Diaries and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg obituary.
I don’t love beanis
What a tangled web of lies i have created such that i would harm those i love most

Not gonna say it’s bad, but if i was in charge of writing it, i would’ve done it differently.
If I get IDed by cops or fascists it’ll absolutely be because of the real-life organizing I’m involved in lmao
Right, online opsec seems so pointless when you’re a visible communist organizer.
true enough if there is still kiwi wiki around those assholes had an article on me
wasnt much on it but still
I don’t even do that and every cop fascist and everyone else in my town already knows I am a communist.
you’re a social butterfly though. a social butterfly that stings like a wasp lmao
that is really funny cuz I feel like the most antisocial person alive. But then last night I lied my way into a karaoke business party just cuz I wanted to sing in front of a crowd lol
I ended up getting kicked out by security when they figured out I wasn’t with the party. Still got to sing like 4 songs though lmao
