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.

    It really just boils down to “this instance makes me uncomfortable, so it is exactly like this other thing that makes me uncomfortable.”

    They really just live in a world of empty reaction to things, no analysis.

      The whole thought terminating “tankie” cliche is incredibly effective at shutting down any critical understanding of politics outside the overton window.

        I’m just glad I became a “tankie” before that particular thought terminating cliche became commonplace. A lot of the more recent anti-communist stuff probably would’ve worked on me really well back when I was a shitlib.
