@seachanger I think we backslid a lot in terms of intellectual capacity. For one, the ability to anticipate right wing tactics just isn't there. Second, our journey from Twitter days to now has taken us from narrating around terms like #toobigtofail, #oligarchy & #rashism to a more coarse old-left vocabulary focused on "capitalism" which is all over my fedi TL. Old Twitter consciousness recognized that capitalism was dead, so I'm at a loss as to why the fedi intelligentsia does not.
