Sigh This is becoming a weekly thing.
Context:
I regularly have takes which upset libs (anti-electoralism, primarily), and I regularly have takes which upset MLs (anti-“AES”, primarily). When this happens, my words sometimes ends up in a post in some drama comm with a lot of people insisting that I’m clearly in the “bad group”. I.e. Libs will call me a tankie, and MLs will call me a lib, as is tradition.
So when this happens, like clockwork, the flip-side of this particular equation (Libs<>MLs), will make a post in their own drama comm, smugly gloating about how “they knew this would happen”.
People, when I state a political position, I’m not doing it to cozy up to non-anarchist movements, it’s because that’s what I actually believe…non-anarchists being upset is not in my list of concerns. It is what it is.
I generally consider liberalism and tankieism to be the same ideology with opposing imperial branding.
I honestly agree. Not to mention, (on another Lemmy account) I once got banned from the .ml meme group because I opposed the CCP and the USSR. I’m a Westerner, therefore I must know nothing besides propaganda 💀. If I believed in pure capitalist propaganda, I wouldn’t be an anarcho-communist lmao.
