It’s hard to keep up, but I try to read like everyone is having a good time. Like hanging out with my friends. It’s a lot easier to not get heated about comments and just enjoy things. Because it can absolutely be easy to get drawn into the toxicity.

Reddit turned into nothing but toxic and “actually” replies to even the simplistic of things. And that /s was everywhere. So yeah I think you’re absolutely right.

Also, go fuck yourself.

Of course it is, gotta have that audience with children haven’t you. Disgusting groomers

Okay.

There is no common ground on these definitions.

Yes, they’ve spent trillions on propaganda machines to make sure no clear meaning can be ascribed to rather simple political concepts. That doesn’t stop us from discovering their actual meanings at all.

We both know that different people use these terms differently.

Yes. See above.

The German political education ministry for example defines extremism

Sooo… power will attempt to “define” political concepts in a way that protects itself?

On the other hand, the ADL defines extremism as any belief outside of the mainstream

So, again… power will attempt to “define” political concepts in a way that protects itself?

Meanwhile, the British government considers extremism to be anything opposed to “British values”,

And… more of the same?

fact is that they do not have clear definitions

That’s because “definitions” are utterly useless. What isn’t useless is the meaning without which these political concepts cease to serve any purpose - and no amount of “muddying the water” will be able to rob them of that.

Oh look, a person that cannot distinguish politics from vehicular activity. I wonder how you manage to drive anywhere without ever turning left.

“Both sides”

-_-

Also anarchists are pretty opposed to Marxism-Leninism, not communism in general.

here is anarchists, kind of the opposite of communists

I’m going to have to raise my hand here, because I’ve got a stake in it as an anarcho-communist.

Anarchism and communism are extremely related ideologies. The anti-authoritarian forms of communism are literally referred to as anarchist, and anarchist communists are one of the largest groups of anarchists.

And this goes back to the start of communism - the term libertarian was brought into use in the 1850s, to differentiate from the communists who thought a violence-wielding vanguard and dictatorship of the proletariat was the best path towards communism (its usage is synonymous to anarchist). The end-goal communist society as described by Marx is an anarchist society - without nation, class, rank, or religion to divide the people. But unlike Marx the libertarian/anarchist wing generally believed that this society could not be brought about through coercion.

I think you’re correct honestly but with Lemmygrad defederated like the exploding-heads people they surely make mainstream accounts for the sake of their lunacy being interacted with.

Maybe it’s my instance of choice but I sure do see a ton of people with authoritarian views pretending they’re just simply leftists when they’re just as unhinged as Qtards.

I do it all the time. I mainly do it to make sure I’m not arguing against a literal child. There’s many reasons why one might look at a person’s post history.

Wow, hmm… This is such a good comment to shitpost under but I’m not sure what angle to take. The fact you seem to be upset people publicly can get on a public website in public and look at the public posts the user posted in a public forum in public is a good one. But also the whole “just because they said a bunch of shit about hating the Jews doesn’t mean you should look at their post history you creep!” is a good one too. Now though, Im just wondering what you have to hide? So… I guess let’s take a look at your post history 🤷

Edit: Ohhhh… I found it everyone. He/she/they/zem doesn’t want people to know they don’t like LGBT people that much.

You got a chuckle there. Touche’

That took a second to register. Chapeau good sir
