After someone mentioned me without tagging me on the Return2Ozma thread drama, I decided to Lemmy search my name to see what else I was missing out on. I didn’t realize I was so popular with the “People who defend tankies” demographic of Lemmy! Apparently, I’m a brainrotted liberal debate lord (simultanously, without any beliefs) who hates every leftist movement in existence, is a wedge between liberals and leftists, and sees imaginary tankies everywhere.

I mean, obviously, since I’ve made a whole 9 posts about them, including posts on “MeanwhileOnGrad” (5 if you exclude MeanwhileOnGrad and TankieJerk), over my past year on the Fediverse (out of ~1,570 total posts). Clearly, if it wasn’t for me, the leftists would have finally joined hands with the liberals to sing kumbaya together.

That’s a lot of work I have to put in when all I want to do is browse politics and post history minutiae without having to worry about people advocating genocide or fascism, but I wouldn’t want to disappoint any of them!

Also, apparently they think I’m Yeetpics? Which is a strange connection to make, considering our writing styles are… very different.

EDIT: And Joe Biden’s strongest warrior! Wow!

    By that logic leftist anarchists aren’t leftist because they don’t want a government democratic or otherwise, by definition.

      Anarchists are radically egalitarian and libertarian and support the formation of democratic governments through voluntary free association rather than a centralized and hierarchical state

        “Not typically/always,” and those, by definition, are not “anarchists.” I suppose minarchism (if we allow that to be a generic term for “minimal government” rather than “almost anarchocapitalist,”) is a more apt term for them, but by definition anarchism lacks a government.

          Supporters of forming democratic governments through voluntary free association aren’t anarchists

          But

          Supporters of enslaving millions in gulags, assassinating all political opposition, crushing democratic uprisings through military force, and imperialist expansion through invasion and annexation are leftists

          Did I get that right?

            Nope. Find me a definition right now that says “anarchists” support “enslaving millions in gulags, assassinating all political opposition, crushing democratic uprisings through military force, and imperialist expansion through invasion and annexation” by definition.

            I’ll wait.

            Ok so now that you’re back with “Anarchism - The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished,” since you couldn’t find your stupid bullshit anywhere, you see now how anarchists are not in support of “government,” yes?
