  • This seems like a western left space criticism. I don’t know if left spaces outside of the west suffer from the same issues, and I’m going to lean toward “no” with that in mind.

    Left spaces in the global south have less room to be “picky” about their leaders and members. They have standards, but aren’t too focused on being sinless like you said.

    Palestinian communists probably support Hamas, despite their religious nature and (expected) reactionary beliefs. Who else do they have to fight against genocide and colonialism, after all?







  • When people get this toxic it’s best to just cut them out. I don’t know your situation, but thinking about it with regards to my situation: I don’t think I would keep up a relationship with this individual. She’s not an immediate family member, after all she’s a great-aunt.

    She strikes me as a sad and pathetic individual. Someone who’s death won’t mean as much as they think it would to other people. What I’m trying to say is this: she overvalues herself to the point where she thinks she can just start an aggressive argument with you.

    I’m not surprised she’s a trump supporter, I have people in my family who are perfectly normal people until you bring up specific politics. I don’t talk with those people about politics, but they at least have the decency to not open up (or attack) me for my beliefs.

    She has no right to treat you this way, none of this is your fault. You’re a sane and moderate individual, don’t ever think you’re wrong or are being too hard on her.

    You’re good 👍🏾 don’t be hard on yourself, you did nothing wrong.
