“Omg did you hear he’s an individualist?”
“Omg I can’t believe he strangles puppies with his bare hands.”
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.

You joined about an hour ago and literally every single bullshit comments I saw today was from you.

Ahh. See, I thought it was a person that has to make a new sock puppet account every time they get banned because they can’t discuss a topic without resorting to childish insults.

Aaahhh. Right. The internet. That place where people get upset over things people say in response to other people, to the point that they resort to ad hominem insults.
Right. Yeah. That place. Totally not a bar. I guess you told me!
i dont even know what this means, are you saying tankies made you more right wing?
you probably just needed an excuse my dude
Tankies cause people to vote right wing. Polarisation.
I’m against authoritarianism so… if lefties are authoritarians I’m not left.
Tankies/redfash are not lefties. Neither are libs.
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’.
Not when the left wing is only represented by authoritarians.
i would love to know the sources of media you choose to consume, i would also love to know who you think ‘represents’ the left.
even those who i think represent the left would be considered ‘not left enough’ or some other bullshit considering its an inherently, extremely disparate grouping of thousands of ideologies.
I consume this platform’s media and the tankies are a poison to the left
Tankies are not leftist. Neither are libs. Both are basically fash.
Liberals are for globalisation. Tankies are for China’s firewall and surveillance.
Social democrats are for low inequality

i dont know what this means, thanks for playing i guess
Here on lemmy there are left communities and they are completely clear in their messaging that if you don’t accept their narrative you’re a liberal.
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)
I think you mean, “liberals”.
I’m sorry, I’m not sure I follow…
I don’t pass the lefty purity test because I participate in American democracy. That means I can only be liberal and never a leftist.
would you compromise on genocide…?
Only if a tankie made me mad… \s
Obviously, just a little genocide is completely acceptable. /s
It’s okay genocide in moderation
Only on the weekends and holidays
/s
Genocide? At 11am? /s
