Hence the parenthesis saying “left”. Hexbear is exclusively full of American users that pejoratively use the term ‘lib’, so it’s important in this context.
Tankies have an incredibly black and white view of the world. Anyone that isn’t with them is a fascist. It’s also why they can’t accept that their favorite authoritarians have practiced imperialism, oppression of minority groups, and lots of killing. “Stalin believed in the same economic policy that I do, so therefore he never did a bad thing.”
There’s always been a connection. The German Lebensreform movement on the one hand influenced the hippy movement in the US through a back-to-nature philosophy, while on the other hand evolved into the blood and soil philosophy of the Nazi party. Occultism was also popular in the Nazi party, and Odinist paganism is very popular with European neo-Nazis.
The modern spiritual movement is made up of middle class women who believe in the divine feminine creating the gift of life, children which they need to protect from vaccines which cause autism and perverts who want to sexualise them. It’s not a long road from there to being an anti-LGBT trad wife who believes in QAnon.
“Like China, our struggle sessions will purify The Party and bring unity to our socialist utopia”
Also, isn’t Beehaw like, a bunch of fuckin’ hippies? Like the kind of people you’d have to be insane to call fascists?
Hexbear users are pretty stupid because they almost exclusively alienate would-be supporters, or at least close allies.
They fundamentally cannot see the difference between any non-communist liberals (left) and fascism.
Liberals? Fascists. Social democrats? Fascists. Democratic socialists? Fascists. Anarcho-communists? Fascists.
Communists?
Believe it or not, also fascists.
Funnily enough this one is far more correct than the others.
You forgot the true one - Tankies? Fascists.
What definition of communism ignores worker enfranchisement?
They just believe anyone who isn’t with them is against them. It’s a common human failing.
I’d like to point out that liberals are considered left in US, but center right pretty much anywhere else.

So calling Socdems “filthy liberals” and telling socdems they’re going up against the wall… is still a great way to scare off potential allies.

Oh god fucking damnit.
If I get called a Nazi for having pagan beliefs I’m gonna fuckin lose it
You can always call yourself by the tradition you agree the most with, like Ásatru or Romuva to confuse the uninitiated.
