Sorry I’m a bit late to the party, but I was without home internet for a bit. If an admin can pull the deleted comment, please post it here for context. I don’t see it on the modlog. I think I said something like “Tell me you have a Hexbear alt without telling me you have a Hexbear alt.”
Do leftists deserve to have their own space where they don’t have to argue with debatelords constantly? Some spaces are just for leftists and that’s fine. Some spaces are just for non authoritarian leftists and that’s also fine mPeople don’t deserve a platform for their opinions everywhere. They have the rest of the internet for that.
And no, having a space for leftists is not what makes one a tankie
You mean… do leftists deserve a safe space for posting hate speech?
No, I don’t think they do.
I don’t think so either. But they do deserve spaces where they don’t post hate speech.
Are you trying to say that “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” is hate speech?
In any case, it’s historically evident if you study Wiemar Germany or America during the civil right movement, hell a common theme in so many counter-revolutions is liberals using the working class to achieve their goals, then turning on them when their own privileged positions come into conflict with the interests of the workers, at which point there is nothing to protect those same from the conservatives.
Here’s Stalin’s assessment of Germany in 1924.
