Tankies cause people to vote right wing. Polarisation.

I'm against authoritarianism so... if lefties are authoritarians I'm not left.

the left is literally about creating a stateless society. The term 'left-wing' comes from the French Revolution in which members of parliament who were against restoring the monarchy sat on the left side.

maybe have a look into left politics and theory before establishing that an entire philosophical set of ideas is 'authoritarian'.

That's orthogonal to left / right.

Not if lefty communities are only represented by the authoritarian wing.

Almost the entirety of Lemmy is left leaning, even more so than reddit was. So unless you're over in specifically ML communities you're generally interacting with non-authoritarian leftists.

We've even got multiple entire instances with a strong non-auth leaning. (db0, vtc, etc)

Tankies/redfash are not lefties. Neither are libs.

would you compromise on genocide..?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Obviously, just a little genocide is completely acceptable. /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's okay genocide in moderation

Only on the weekends and holidays

/s

There’s a third option:

You can stop making politics part of your identity. Who we are may be in part what believe, but we are not at all the sum of what others think.

Walk on your own and stop giving a shit what a bunch of edgelord high-school kids think. There’s a good chance most- if not all of them are going to grow out of it and look back on this shit and cringe. Don’t be a casualty of their stupidity.

Be you.
