During these hard times (when vols kill vols) I thought that it would be more than appropriate to start an /EPG/ since for months I've seen users complaining about the lack of effort posts on leftypol.

In any case…

What is an effort post, you might ask? An "effort post" is a response written by a comrade that goes beyond the level of "fuck you" and putting effort into detailing his or her position.

Please be shameless, and plug your OWN effort posts ITT.

I would recommend the userbase to actually address said effort posts in their perspective threads, and the effort-posters to shamelessly screenshoot said posts here for future generations.

I'll start:

As someone who has been with leftypol from day one, I can attest to the fact that the very term "effort post" arrived from the general readership and not from the people writing said posts.

As for what you are implying here. According to your standards Marx himself was a "narcissist" for having written 200-500 pages long tirades against his theoretical enemies, and dared to publish it.

Please, get a grip of yourself.

here's my effort post:

I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for my
Individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts that you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I, could tell you why
The oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never
Thunk before,
And then I'd sit down and think some more.
I would not be just a muffin',
My head all full of stuffin',
My heart all full of pain;
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be
Even worthy even you
If I only had a brain.

Soon anons I may be a petite bourgeois business owner. A significant opportunity has been given to me, due to a bourgeois childhood friend. I've been telling myself I'll be a good class traitor, by god I'm basically Engels. Deep down I know this is a ruse to myself, I know when the comfortable life comes I'll get complacent. I'll tell myself its only a little exploitation for today, "oh it'll be a few good Years then I'll be that valent class traitor". I'll probably get a partner and bourgeois friends. I'll have life long security in my hands, with my relationship and social life EVERYTHING to lose. I'll always know one bad business move, one act of traitorousness, it'd be over I'd lose it all back to a lonely prole and a live of suffering.

Thing is I hate my life, I hate what it is doomed to be as a prole. I have come to my biggest challenge as a Marxist. It is easy for me to fight for the proletariat as a proletariat. Should I sacrifice the comfort and joy in my life so I don't get deradicalized? With the state of the Western proletariat, they'd spit on me for wanting to support the proletariat as a petite bourgeois this is how cucked they are. We are years and decades away from the left (if ever) coming back, the material conditions haven't collapsed enough for us to be relevant. Why should I sacrifice my life for a prole that cheers on being cucked. I'll always know the failures of capitalism as it falls and collapses I'll know every reason why. I feel confident that when the choice is fascist vs socialist in the street's I can be a class traitor then. Anons I want you to give me one good reason not to suck every faucet dry of capital until then.

I kinda know this too eventually I'll be proletariatized like a butterfly back into a caterpillar. Still especially if I can rack in doe why not? I'm scare to be a bourgeois, with this opportunity ahead. I'm proletariat at heart, I feel like I'd be betraying myself for comfort, hedonism and consumption, for a home…

I truly am starting to more and more understand just how awesome Engels is. Here he has it lined up a bourgeois happy live for all his days. Yet he still dedicates himself to the working man. Class traitors are in a sense the truest comrades.

Why do polyps come here? Boredom? Loneliness? Not enough parental attention? An insecurity in their own ideology?

Honestly, I think it’s because the little bastards won’t ever get this kind of discourse with their stupid friends. Maybe they’ll spam infographics and spew memes, but there’s no substance. You aren’t left with something to think about or to meditate on and eventually everything becomes stale. Here, people cite sources and statistics or even synthesize new arguments for them. The Polyp then doubles their pleasure when they can cut it all apart with what they think is a witty rejoinder. There’s a kinetic joy for them in that. And sure, as a member of this cite it can be fun to just keep the chain flowing, but you eventually run out of juice yourself, because what you respond to isn’t actually that mentally stimulating.

I’ll put it this way: the most frustrating thing for a polyp is when you either dismiss them out of hand or if you agree with them and say “so what?” Because that’s denying them that novel stimulus which they crave. Worse, it makes them have to paise and even think for once.

Characteristics of polyps IRL:
# Have a mental condition from BIRTH, not acquired (like traffic TBI)
# Always forgets his meds
# Lives with his mom
# Mental age between 9 and 14, fixed even when he's 80
# Once mom is dead proceeds to live with daughter

they are literal geniuses, btw

when they sense that there's an ongoing conflict between the Junta vs. the splitters they get the immediate reflex to make irrelevant posts that criticize the split from a chan.net perspective, because that's how much BRAIN these fuckers have.

The MORE pro-chan.net PROPAGANDA/ANALYSIS we have on our main page THE WORSE we are off! (This is basic logic, according to them, mind you.)

The LESS we portray our SUPERIORITY the BETTER WE ARE. (This is another case of current vol logic. Don't bother to correct them. They obey metaphysical rules given by our forefathers / gods. As commies we should practice BOOK WORSHIP, as we know, instead of having tactical or strategic thinking.)
