Thank you for providing a great example of the propaganda tactic often called “accusations in a mirror.” This is more often referenced with the term projection.

This, unironically.
If your “circle jerks” involve discussing the nuances of history and political theory, that’s just a discussion.
If your “circle jerks” involve spreading imperial lies and frothing at the mouth for genocide, that’s a problem.
Unfortunately, it seems the latter is much more acceptable on the Internet overall.
This question only serves to enable mudslinging while hiding behind a homophobic term.
The term is so loaded with homophobia that’s it practically useless.
There are communities where leftists can openly discuss leftist theory and (to a lesser extent) praxis without being permabanned for thought crime like most spaces.
I find that fun. I haven’t had the opportunity to join a circle jerk, but it sounds fun to me. So, in that sense, the answer to your question is a tentative, horny yes.

2·17 days agoI started by asking myself, who have the capitalists revealed, through words and deeds, to be their greatest enemies? Then I started trying to understand those conflicts which made me realize that some of the people I was scared to listen to are actually intelligent, well-read, and earnest.

2·18 days agoYeah, the self-flagellation, defeatism, and guilt are just the ego flaring up in response to reality contradicting the propagandized view of burgerland which we each must destroy in our own minds. None of the three are helpful, yet it seems to be all we have at the moment.

6·19 days agoI saw some mastodon posters calling this a distraction from the Epstein files as if anti-communism, installing far-right dictators, and privatizing everything weren’t already the highest priorities for burgerland.
Isn’t this just standard practice for nuclear-armed states? Seems like abc is doing a little fearmongering
