I step out of Hexbear and into another instance for once and immediately get this shit lmao
I was letting off some steam about how sick and tired I am about working a shit job to make some asshole rich, and I made an off hand remark about how my employer probably belongs in a gulag. Further down the reply chain, this lemmitor asshole shows up to send me a whole tirade full of faux concern, breaking out the psychoanalysis to say I’m just an extremist full of unjustified hatred because I must be a bitter loser. Somehow they come up with this nuclear hot take comparing my anger at the capitalist class to a Christian fundamentalist hating gay people.
But the fucking cherry on the top here is sending me this comment as their very first interaction with me and proceeding to instantly block me to deny me the chance to reply at all. I’ve seen others use the block feature as a means of getting the last word in, but never to get both the first and last word in at the same time. And in the end, this self-unaware lib ends up calling me the overly self righteous one. Perfect.
Tbh, what gets me is that they were so fucking close to getting it. They almost came to an accurate understanding of the fact that my material conditions as a poor person getting fucked over day in and day out by my employer stealing my labor will heavily inform my politics. But of course they never quite reach that point, instead bizarrely veering off into psychologizing me, and acting like this is all just some sort of character flaw on my part.

It’s just that we disagree what comments constitute “vile reactionary tirades”. As always hexbears uncharitable interpret so that they escalate, so that they declare “liberalism” and high five in the dunk tank. Your judgements don’t mean much outside of this space 🤷♂️
Likewise, not all leftist spaces immediately ban those with even slightest problematic viewpoints. Some of us take different praxis. Whose praxis is best, well let’s just say it’s not my instance that is pretty much globally reviled as a toxic source of drama and de-platformed from all interaction with the larger fediverse 🤷♂️
Our instance is anarchist, whether you like it or not. And as anarchist, it’s also leftist. Your “no true anarchists” is as convincing as your “no true leftist”. It’s the classic sectarian playbook. Tacitly endorsed by this community
Btw, let me ask you this. Is the Chinese state also “fake leftists”?
as a fellow neoliberal (demon from hell), do you think people who vent about their boss on the internet should instead stfu, watch andrew tate and wash they genitals until it improoov their life enough to own the company itself?
No. Then again, constantly wishing fascist re-education camps on people is not quite “venting against their boss”
nice stealth edit buddy boyo
Bosses aren’t people.
Its ok to anonymously hyperbolically punch up against “people” who take the vast majority of your earnings and make your life a living hell.
Re-educating fascists to be not fascist… is not fascist.
Thank you for letting us know for certain that you are in agreement with that slimy neoliberal fuck and have thus been acting out of pure bad faith this entire time. “MUH SECRETARIANISM, MUH CHARITABILITY!!” lmao stfu you utter moron
