You sound like such a tool when calling people that mostly agree with you "bootlicker". That term now is like a neon sign that says, "nothing I say has any basis in reality, and if you disagree with me I will cry and block you."
If you don't agree with someone, you can still present an argument without calling them names like a child. Your misinformed comrades are still your comrades (even though this guy is 100% correct).

Calling out class traitors is an important part of rising class consciousness
If people disagree with me they can down vote me.
I expressed my opinion dear, that's how the internet works.
What I'm saying is, not everyone that says anything slightly critical of what you think is a "class traitor". You aren't calling out opposition, you're ostracizing people who want to see the same thing you do.
I also expressed my opinion. My opinion is that if you want to see any progress, it's best to not be a twat to others for no reason. And that "bootlicker" is not a term for genuine people that want to see that progress.
The opinion posted was justifying reddit behaviour while ignoring the fact that this behaviour really only happens when the oligarchy gets butthurt.
We all know the "legallity" and I was on that sub yesterday and the comments were hardly illegal with few exceptions most of it was just piling on bad sentiment against President Musk.
So I read OP as bad faith actor and provided my opinion on his behaviour, I could be wrong but it seems there is no shortage of clowns trying to to tell everyone to be "reasonable"
You can't be reasonable when it is a class war. That's the whole point of the war, it is unreasonable.
Bootlickers Plead Reasonable when they got non defensible position.
Remember that regime and their lap dogs will never give you benefit of the doubt
With that being said I could be completely off about OP...
He can correct me, community can make the judgement.
I have zero problems being wrong.
I aint here to be "right", just raising awareness about the parasite class and bootlickers.
So you self-admittedly call people "bootlicker" as a reactionary statement, with zero regards to whether or not you could be spitting in the face of someone who is on your side.
That's uh.. one way to get people on our side.
You don't have to be here to be "right", but you're not "raising awareness about the parasite class" by calling everyone under the sun a bootlicker because your 2 second assessment tells you that they're a Reddit apologist. You aren't helping by insulting anyone who dares speak against the consensus. You're solidifying the stereotype of the "intolerable left". You're pushing away people who might be slightly misguided but otherwise receptive of education. You're pushing moderates to the right.
In other words, go off about your opinion, but don't kid yourself into thinking that this behavior is productive.
That's a misrepresentation of what I stated above.
