Translation:

My personal opinion, for those who are interested, is that these two instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) are filled with what we call here nazbols, tankies, or even left-wing fascists.

They are primarily authoritarians who like to call themselves leftist, but use the same tools, have the same political vision, the same organization, and politically and historically tend to ally with “official” fascists as soon as a truly revolutionary leftist movement emerges.

I found it tolerable to “do nothing” as long as they stayed in their corners, but I had somewhat forgotten that an authoritarian remains an authoritarian and that the only place they deserve is down a well, not forgetting to strike the hands that try to escape with a big stick.

    “terrorism” is a great term to explain how they think, too. The meaning of “Terrorism” in actual use is very literally “organized violence I disagree with”. The type, purpose, goals, intent, and targets of the violence are utterly irrelevant. it doesn’t matter if it’s harsh language or thermonuclear bombs. All that’s needed for something to be labelled terrorism is that the speaker believes the perpetrators are an organized group and that they disagrree with teh violnce. Fascinating stuff.
