Sorry I’m a bit late to the party, but I was without home internet for a bit. If an admin can pull the deleted comment, please post it here for context. I don’t see it on the modlog. I think I said something like “Tell me you have a Hexbear alt without telling me you have a Hexbear alt.”

The hexbear alt is coming from inside the house
Such a stupid phrase too. Basically a pretentious, sloganeering way to say “classical/neo liberals aka capitalists are fascists!” Ok, brilliant political insight I guess if you have no idea what fascism is.
It means that if you threaten a liberals privileges, they will support fascism to keep it. Just because it has a deeper meaning doesn’t make it pretentious, odd to put it that way.
Okay, I’ll call it pseudo intellectual if that sounds better to you. That definition doesn’t make it less nonsensical and basically untrue… sorry if that “deeper meaning” eludes me.
One issue is that using that definition of liberal, one which is rarely used in American politics outside of economic and political classrooms, is an advanced form of “both sides are the same” as far as US politics - claiming that Democrats and Republicans are equivalent because “they’re both liberals”, which is a rather ignorant and narrowminded view.
Okay! Have fun with believing the term liberal isn’t used in American politics!
Ah this guy doesn’t have a hexbear alt he has a Lemmygrad account and he is a literally just a nazi painted red.
Not power tripping. This is a lefty community. so they hafve a right not to tolerate anti-leftists.
Note that a “tankie” is not anyone using a lefty slogan. Neither is every marxist. Neither is it every hexbear either (even if they’re on an instance promoting tankie mentality). By using the word like that you are diluting it.
The mod of lefty memes is explicitly not in hexbear and .ml explicitly because they don’t want to be under their influence. This should tell you something.
This is a lefty community. so they hafve a right not to tolerate anti-leftists.
Using heavy-handed censorship to create an echo chamber should not be tolerated. The thing that separates tankies from other leftists is their use of authoritarian overreach to enforce their political views.
Do leftists deserve to have their own space where they don’t have to argue with debatelords constantly? Some spaces are just for leftists and that’s fine. Some spaces are just for non authoritarian leftists and that’s also fine mPeople don’t deserve a platform for their opinions everywhere. They have the rest of the internet for that.
And no, having a space for leftists is not what makes one a tankie
You mean… do leftists deserve a safe space for posting hate speech?
No, I don’t think they do.
