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.
Another interesting snippet of the modlog. They’re an “anarchist”.
I try to be polite when I’m on Hexbear, because I know there are a few anarchist comrades around.
But this particular type of western “anarchist” is my absolute least favourite type of lib. Ignorant, smug, drunk on the tiniest bit of power they can get, projecting their own faults and character flaws onto the rest of humanity. Assuming everyone else is even more vile and shallow than they are. Absolute scumbags.
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.
“Anarchist” in the west is surprisingly often used to mean “Person who’s given up making sense of life”
I think it’s very much an online thing. Comrades I’ve met on the ground don’t care about this aggressively online stuff. They’re worried about feeding homeless neighbors, undermining the cops, and other pro-social community work.
Oh for sure, way too many people in the west think anarchism is just “chaos” or “nihilism” or something.
Anti-oppression policy/anti-oppressive speech is a safeword for most anarchists, if anyone wants to take up the charge and drive critical consciousness in that mod team.
Just purge the fucking mod, obviously they arent in a place to fairly moderate a community
Apparently they went to bat to die on the hill defending chasers in 196 to the degree that the head mod had to step in at some point, there’s no way this person isn’t a child
I’m always willing to bet on adults being shitty.
