Well hey stress drinking (water) is a much healthier coping mechanism so good for you.

Who the fuck tracks how much water they drink?

Cracked eggs are the best ones, so I always check.

No there’s just zero republican power in the state to disrupt common sense stuff.

Don’t get be wrong democrats are still very problematic on some issues but on others they get a bit too much blame for what is really republican obstruction.

I feel like the guy who got 30 years for picking up a box of zines is a much better example here.

4?

I was gonna say I don’t think this is a normal part of the molting process…

There is a huge space between free speech absolutism and not banning people for not 100% kowtowing to your hyper-specific and extremely unpopular, historically revisionist political movement.

Well, some people lack skepticism and the ability to do their own research so they are more susceptible to groupthink, unfortunately.

This isn’t really about socialism anyway. They’re not even advocating for socialism. Just a totalitarian state. If you look at the history of socialism it was always an anti-state movement, and its original thinkers would be disturbed by those who claim its mantle but argue for oppression instead of liberation.

It purports to be.

Your second point is fair but again I also agree it’s bad to do that.

Well as long as you’re fine with the rest of the world viewing you as cultists who can’t tolerate being exposed to outside ideas then I guess there’s no issue. But that’s not a model for a very successful political movement.

For the record I also think it’s stupid for communists to be banned for wrongthink but I personally haven’t observed that too often outside of outright fascist spaces.

Well it’s fucking stupid and it makes everyone hate them and think that their ideas can’t withstand outside scrutiny.

Well tell your mods to stop acting like fools then. Their thought policing makes no sense unless you have some “objective” sense that their exact understanding of the world is correct.

Yeah that’s generally how ideology works lmao.

Not us though! Our god personally instructed us on the sacred sciences. It’s not subjective at all.

They kinda look like adult botflies too lol. Why do the most horrific things grow up to be so cute?

Oh. My. God.

It’s kinda true though lol. Most people are naturally horny and creepy but socialization teaches us to respect people’s boundaries.

Who doesn’t, honestly? If there’s one thing people of all political stripes can agree on it’s that liberals are annoying.

Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.

The weird part is thinking that’s a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.

True but I still think other leftists are their closest ideological neighbors. We still agree on things like trans rights, that everyone should have economic security, etc. So despite some big differences I think what I wrote is true.

Plus you can also just look at how they treat the different sects within the tankie sphere and it’s not much different lol.
