I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.

Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.

    As our resident anarchist mod, trust me I agree with you. These people are not anarchists, they are liberals or outright fascists, they just don’t know it or are acting in bad faith.

      Seeing how many people firmly ensconsed in liberal politics have appropriated anarchism in name only is very upsetting. It creates bad blood on the left, and diverts potential comrades from reaching actual leftist information and politics.

        I agree and it’s the same as how more recently the whole maga communist/patriotic socialist thing has come about.

        These people are not our comrades, though I have a bit more sympathy toward the misguided anarchists because I think their reactionary views are at least a bit more organic and just due to being immersed in a century of anti-communist propaganda.
