    On Lemmy, it’s more like “oh you’re an anarchist? You obviously haven’t read enough Lennin”

      I’m entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20’s who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn’t would think those are profound criticisms.

        You’re just creating this strawman because you disagree with the other side that is recommending you read about their beliefs, despite claiming that you read people you disagree with

        Same here, these people constantly complaining about “tankies” seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience

          Isn’t it the opposite here. Idk if when they say tankie they mean leftist hexbear users or maga type right wing people. That’s not trying to insult hexbear. I literally don’t know.

          I get called a tankie or centrist here compared to reddit where only a few times I was called a centrist.
