I felt the need to share something personal about myself to one of the most welcoming, great communities I’ve ever had the honor to call myself a part of. You can make posts lamenting my radicalisation all you want, but seriously that shit is none of your business and the fact that you decided to deride me for being “tricked” or something makes me really mad. Do you think some internet strangers can automatically re-write 10 years of the US school system’s imprint on my brain? The people on hexbear were everything the people on your instance claimed to be and more, these “genocidal tankies” showed patience, compassion, and empathy to me, and you think you can just condesendingly harp on about how i’ve been brainwashed? seeing hexbear made me decide to take a second look at my worldview, and really research who i was, what i believed, and what i stood for. If you think you can reduce that to me being brainwashed, you can go to hell.

fuck you and never post about me again.

(what community do i post this to? cth should be fine right? just delete it and dm me if i have to move it :P )

      I question if they’re even communists, considering most commie-spaces throw them out,

      Oh tell me wise liberal, who are these true communists you speak so highly of?

      I wonder if it’s because they realize that roleplaying revolutionaries does nothing to advance the working class, and that the main job right now is to pull the populace left and organize labor so there CAN be a sustainable socialist future

      Is that what they call their system that is spiraling backwards in many ways- engaging in “forever wars” and provoking WW3, destroying the biosphere and directly contributing the deaths of tens of millions from preventable causes and exacerbated climate catastrophes alike, trying to maintain their monopolies*, reserve currency*, and hegemony over the overwhelming majority of humanity rather than accepting equality and thus engaging in diplomacy and cooperation?

      *spoiler

      *industrial rentier and economic infrastructure rentier behavior respectively

      not to live out your wildest ML fantasies where you get to shoot all the anarchists and exile all the Whites?

      And by this… they mean, the “ML fantasies” of self-defense against those who at some point will refuse and actively work against and attack the creation of state systems or even just complex organizations that are necessary to resist and put an end to the aforementioned system. Whether due to issues with the concept of hierarchy in and of itself (anarchists) or due to… preserving their supremacy (racial, ethnic, material, sexist, etc).

      Leave us alone and we’ll leave you alone, no one cares about the genuinely apolitical. No one gives a shit if anarchists want to start their “not-state” communes in the middle of the wilderness, or if white people are willing to live as equals (or otherwise want to go start their own “racially pure” communes in the wilderness and inbreed to death in peace without disturbing anyone else). People generally won’t even care if someone has been or remains bourgeois, so long as their heart and thus their actions are in and directed towards the right place (Engels was a industrialist, Armand Hammer was “Stalin’s favorite capitalist” and had an estimated net worth of $800 million by his death in the 1990s). The white liberal persecution strikes again.

          I know rat-salute-2 just wanted to use their “innocent” words at face value to show how bullshit their persecution complex (because fascists, cracKKKers, and capitalists in general always have the biggest persecution complex while actually constantly persecuting others, entirely unprovoked, for the maintenance of their system) was.
