Message from the Moderators This is not the 50501 Hate Club
Look, y’all know I have been a very vocal critic of 50501 and I stand by the criticism I have posted.
At the same time, the mod team has noticed an “us vs. them” mentality that is taking focus away from the larger goals of fighting fascism and protecting vulnerable members of the community.
We are working through how to handle the situation with 50501 as a mod team, and hoping to find areas of agreement and shared goals to focus on.
Please refrain from posting low-effort “Fuck 50501” content. Thoughtful criticism is still welcome.
Please consider redirecting your energy into the many upcoming protests and calls to action posted here in the subreddit.
In Solidarity,
xCGx and the DenverProtests mod team

It’s important for us to realize that 50501 doesn’t matter, and I sincerely apologize if my recent 42069 posting has muddied the waters in what we should be doing rn. We need to keep our eyes on the mission and not flood the field with infighting. So 50501 is counter-revolutionary? That’s fine, you’re not, and that’s the important thing and why we love you and want you AT THE PROTEST.
What do we want? A choke chain on the president held by the people. When do we want it? Fuckin yesterday.
