  • Someone who equates freedom with a lack of government is not in any position to judge the intelligence of others.

    As for pronouns, now I know you’re just bad faith trolling. I am a nonbinary person, and I do respect people’s pronouns, even when they are people who are unwitting apologists for fascists. The trans/nonbinary community consensus draws a clear line between pronouns and self-referential speech patterns, and it is bad faith trolls (trying to use our respect for pronouns against us) who conflate the two. Pronouns are a linguistic stand-in for a person’s name when you’re not directly addressing them. Pronouns are not a title, they’re not a mark of respect on that person (even though pronouns should be respected). Referring to yourself in the third person is a speech pattern, not a pronoun. As many other trans and nonbinary people have said, self-referring in third person is a stylistic choice about how someone talks about themselves, not a request about how others should refer to them. So who is badjacketing who here?

    Also it is typical trolling behavior to completely derail a thread with a tangential (bad faith) accusation, especially when they know they have no counter arguments in the actual discussion.


  • freedom is being independent of a government.

    What a ridiculous definition of freedom. It is very much something an ancap would say. You make statements like that and then say I’m badjacketing you? lol, you are openly donning that jacket of your own accord, and zipping it up nice and snug for all to see. Just because I made note of what you’re apparently choosing to wear doesn’t mean I’m the one who put it on you. (I will say though, that in my experience, it is always a specific kind of doofus who constantly refers to themselves in third person, though that’s beside the point).


  • “Freedom is when people do what I say they should do, not what they actively choose for themselves.” -moth, apparently

    “Forced” is when you vote in a referendum and over 95% agrees on it. Dronies (including the ones who style themselves as “anarchists”) love to forget it was the state of Ukraine effectively outlawing the Russian language predominantly spoken by the people of Donbas and then persecuting them for identifying as Russian that sparked the separatist movement in eastern Ukraine in the first place. God forbid these people who are being targeted for being Russian might want to actually, you know, be part of Russia.

    @[email protected], don’t expect to get much or any support here, even though you are completely right. Not only is it the same instance as the one where you got banned, this comm is moderated by the same mod who banned you, and many of the users who would have recognized your correct take, including principled anarchists, have already been banned for being “tankies.”


  • You can be anticapitalist and liberal at the same time

    No, that doesn’t even “check out” on the NATOpedia article. Even that article is explicit that liberalism is fundamentally a pro-capitalist ideology with private property as a core aspect. But it is fun watching you did a hole for yourself, step into it, then declare victory.

    And how is the OP meme referencing anything “tankies” say, other than that the person speaking in the OP image is someone you would call a “tankie”? See that little hammer and sickle next to her name? You really are deeply confused, aren’t you.
