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…
He’s talked several times about creating such a space, and why not? We are experimenting many things still, maybe this kind of space could work. I take the view that there’s always something to learn about anything, whether we like it or not, or whether we intended for it to be a lesson or not.
He’s also not entirely against fun and memes, it’s just that it’s not his thing. I’ve talked to him in DMs once and he said that’s fine with him, it’s just not what he’s looking for. That’s valid too.
I think on some level people think of him to be infallible and the end all be all, but I don’t think he claims to be. He’s just very present and he makes a lot of good points, which perhaps cultivates this image in the process (which I don’t think is intended). I mean that we can have Lemmygrad and Hexbear, and there can also be a third instance that’s this more serious, heavier moderation space.
