I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Strictly speaking they are leftist, just extreme in a lot of ways. it’s the authoritarian aspect of it that I dislike.

      In my mind, the idea of left politics is to democratize society as much as possible. Any type of Authoritarianism goes against that, including the idea of a single party with a single leader. It’s anti-democratic, and therefore does not fit into the category of leftist politics, even if they call themselves left. No racist is gonna call himself racists. And fashists neither.

        Then you agree with many hexbears. As well as there being plenty of anarchists, most people there believe in some kind of fundamental democratisation at multiple levels, rather than a single election with two parties and very manufactured dynamics every 2-4 years.

          Not sure what you’re trying to say, honestly. Democratic values == evil communism?
