It's really not unorthodox in leftist spaces, only in tankie and non-leftist places :/

I dunno where to find sources on hexbear being bad, but please stop using marxist and tankie as if they are synonymous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Hexbear has been problematic from the start. I would love to find some sources, but that would require effort that I'm not willing to expend right now. Basically hexbear has done a lot of brigading and bullying in the past, with blessings from their moderators.

I do not consider tankies socialists, as socialism is inherently anti-authoritarian, and I honestly have little respect for socialists and anarchists that hang out with them. History has seen the regimes the tankies defend ruin attempts at socialism and anarchy countless times, especially considering that these regimes are often military takeovers of actual socialist revolutions.

It’s a nice atmosphere if you aren’t a liberal.

Doesn't sound like it would have a nice atmosphere for socialists or anarchists either

Edit: Also that place allows coordinated attacks against non-tankies, and the most troubling users from blåhaj ran to that place, so I'm not super impressed.

Fascism is by definition a form of capitalism :P As defined by Mussolini back then and by political scientists today. It's not just about dictatorship, but about the relationship between private businesses and the state.

Why would anarchists associate with tankies? I don't wanna share any space with authoritarians of any kind

I mean that's why they are called tankies :P It's a derogatory word originally used to describe "socialists" defending tanks being sent into ukraine by the soviet union, and then was quickly used to describe all "socialists" defending genocide, imperialism, and authoritarianism.

Then you don't know what communism is. I've never met a non-socalist who knows what socialism is, or can describe how or why socialism has failed in the past.

Tankies are authoritarians and therefore cannot call themselves socialist

I agree in spirit! However the soviet union was neither capitalist nor communist, and fascism is a form of capitalism which means the soviet union wasn't fascist, but rather something else entirely.

Hexbear is a tankie instance

Edit: being anti-sectarian is not an excuse Edit 2: Because tankies are not socialists

The "yes" and "no" for app should trade colors. Who in their right mind wants a business to have an app

You should read about who the luddites actually were. They were not opposed to technology, but to poor wages, low quality goods, and workers being replaced. Capitalists destroyed their reputation with propoganda.

Tankie is not synonymous with socialist/communist.

Edit: and neither is criticizing capitalism

Social contact as a finn? My condolences, hope you can recover 🫂

Gender is a spectrum, but trans just means not cis, with cis meaning identifying with your assigned at birth gender.

language is objective

no

People don't agree what sentences and words mean all the time. Every single linguist on earth disagrees with you
