Guess I shouldn’t have poked the bear…

Anyways Hexbear banned me.

I had audacity to post my opinion as a leftist. Interesting there is no space for civil discourse in a USSR apologist community.

This comes from someone who is active in left organizing, political places, and listens to Chapo (way better when Matt C was there).

Anyways, these edgelords would get laughed out of any real leftist communities once they started regurgitating agit prop. Guess it’s good they have their safe space online - no loss

    I personally have a hard time taking anyone seriously who identifies as a “leftist”

    Maybe I’m just uninformed or something

      Especially when they excessively say “liberals” this, “liberals” that, like a bunch of MAGA hats. The Tankie mindset is so hypocritical to me that I’ll never understand it.

        I cringe everytime, the self professed “leftist” say libs in the same way conservatives would. Libs is a catchall term for authotarian supporters, that they apply to people and things contradictory to their beliefs, they might as well say woke.

          they probably don’t even realize their use of “liberal” is correct, since they absolutely have an issue with socially liberal people, just like the MAGAs.

          As an european i find it fascinating how the political landscape in the US lost a whole dimension on the political compass in public discourse. I believe that this “compression” is one of the reasons that the left seems so split - it’s like putting too many cats in a box, it creates constant infighting.
