      You think “tankies” want trump? I’m going to need a source for that one.

      The other groups I’m totally with you on. But I don’t understand why more moderate lefties are so quick to pretend that far lefties are fascist. Unless you meant something else by that term, I’ve only ever heard it used to describe socialists.

        Iirc, Infrahaz is or was in favor of Trump, as was Caleb Maupin (who also notably worked for Russia Today) when he was still around. Also, Tankies aren’t socialists.

            Generally, tankies are individuals who advocate for authoritarian regimes while claiming both they and the regimes are leftists. These regimes usually include russia, china, or North korea. Communism is a classless, moneyless, stateless society. Every single country that tankies usually advocate for fails in every single one of these criteria, and so I do not believe it is useful to refer to them as communists.

            These definitions may be flawed, but they are what I am currently using, which was the question.

        Liberals are just a hop and a skip away from being full blown nazis so they hate on the actual Left to try and convince people they are radical crazy people and the liberal nazis are the norm.

            They’re not actually the same, btw. The person’s absolutely cracked.

            Edit: to be more specific, they just equated liberals with Nazis and then accused me of being a liberal (and thus adjacent to being a Nazi) because I disagreed. These are the kinds of people you should generally distrust.

          Liberals and fascists are in fact very, very different. Convoluting the two only serves to distance potential allies and elevate the standing of fascists.

              I didn’t have work today. Thanks to the union, I was able to take a couple of hours for a walk, enjoy the sounds of birds, smelled the flowers, buy a stupidly unhealthy meal, and eat it while watching a playlist consisting of anarchist news media and Tolkien literature analysis.

              Going outside, being in nature, and connecting with the people around you as well as speaking with people you disagree with are all healthy activities that you should try when you’re able. Also, if you don’t have a union, fix that as soon as possible.
