      I can never tell when tankies are arguing in bad faith, or legitimately not understanding the point. Not that it really matters in the end, I suppose, lol

            Yup. I keep saying this about places like Hexbear. From my interactions, the majority seem to be True Believers™. People keep mistaking the “authoritarian first, and leftist maybe third or fourth (but sometimes nothing but lip-service)” attitudes as fascism. However, they are two completely different forms of authoritarianism. Sure, both tend to celebrate summary executions and use LGBTQ+ people as a means to an end but, the desired end is different.

        I certainly hope they wouldn’t because it’s really silly and doesn’t seem very effective

        edit:

        I thought of one!

        Now excuse me while I ragepost like a dozen stale memes about those damn literary Karens running free libraries as virtue signalling in racist petite bourgeois suburbs!
