Epstein Scar | New LEGO Video from IRAN
This stuff is happening on other parts of the internet, and I think it is highly effective to engage a younger generation, and actually attempts to take over the narrative rather than the reactionary kneejerk journalism (and reposting here on Lemmy) of the “hE SaId WhAt?” brigade.

Does that chart look linear to you?
That’s not how movements work. They advance and retreat in response to conditions, you can’t just project a straight line from their growth over 14 months and expect it to have any predictive power. Before Mamdani’s election they were growing at a rate of roughly 2,800 members a month. One month after electing Mamdani they’d added another 8,000 members to reach that 100,000 milestone, blowing the previous rate out of the water.
Also, notably, over a million people voted for Mamdani. People don’t have to be DSA members to support them.
Maybe after a year of Trump the 100,000 people who joined was all of them.
We’ll see in the midterms, won’t we? If you’re right, the DSA won’t grow much more by the end of the year.
If I’m right, the midterms will see DSA membership sharply increase in response to DSA candidates winning elections.
If DSA candidates win 1% of the vote I’ll give you a cookie.
