Good on you for trying to take the balanced center road, too many people here have tribalistic us vs them or nothing mentality.

Me personally? I just don’t like hardcore extremist/radical people in general so im enjoying this, slight antagonism be damned.

Anyone who thinks their group personally has the best solution to all of societies problems and human power inbalances. Or anyone who thinks that their group is the pinnacle of morality and virtue who can do no wrong. Or anyone who smugly tries to poke holes in every other competing idea or perspective while willfully downplaying valid criticism for their own tribal groups.

I dislike arrogant idealist who think they’re better and smarter than the rest because they read a book or two on socioeconomic theory and went to a political science class in liberal arts college. I dislike self interest masquerading as false virtue and moral superiority. And yes, im talking about more than just tankies, lemmy is chock full of these same types just slight differences in the hats they wear.

So Im getting a little bit of schadenfreude not because I care about their particular flavor of political extremism. Instead because its another group of smug pricks pushing another bullshit agenda while willfully dismissive of any inconvenient truths they dont like. Hexers just got a humorously ironic comeuppance for being the disorganized shitposters they pride themselves on being which is a big tasty cherry on top.
