I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.

Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.

      Anarchism can be “trendy” sometimes. It can be a way to “fight the system” without directly threatening it, so it can be presented as a kind of false leftist idea, that is just liberalism with the little A symbol on it. These people will sincerely call themselves anarchists, and probably believe it too, then will talk about how important it is to “save democracy” by voting for Biden. Capitalism will try to commodify everything, including leftist tendencies. When they do this, they strip it of all meaning and reduce it to a simple “image” for profit.

        There’s anarchism, a real political ideology with a rich tradition of struggle and thought and then there’s “anarchism” which is an aesthetic that will make you look cool and piss off your dad at the same time.
