          I keep accounts on a lot of other right wing extremist websites too. It lets me keep track of dangerous groups.

          For instance, I was active on kiwifarms for years. That obviously doesn’t mean I support them.

              I’ve helped take a lot of authoritarians off of the internet and I will keep doing that. You all eventually self-doxx.

                Lmao you’re telling me you’re an “anarchist” who volunteers as an internet cop?

                Go outside. Find a hobby. Meet people in real life

                    the symbol has been used in many different contexts by a variety of anti-fascist, social democratic and democratic socialist organisations

                    I’m asking what you, specifically, mean by “authoritarian”

                So I interpret this as a threat to dox hexbear users?

                In the spectrum of political action you could take outside of organizations (which I would suggest, go into some collectives) you decide to dox people creating and participating safe spaces for trans people online (since you label their brand of political action as authoritarian or as tolerant of authoritarianism you see in pretty much any ML form).

                This means you are purging leftist elements instead of trying to broaden or create bases of power or free spaces for anti hierarchical ideologies. Sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

                  It’s also pretty laughable that id ever be fired from my job for being a socialist tbh. It only works against fascists because they are so reprehensible and incapable of working on a team

                  If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you don’t have anything to worry about.

                  It’s very telling how much this site loves talking about “purges”. Authoritarians aren’t leftist. Removing them from the internet is a type of antifascist action and I will never apologize for being antifascist.

                    If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you don’t have anything to worry about.

                    Here’s an easy one: closeted or passing people being outed and thereby being exposed to violence and harassment. Any communist in South Korea or other countries where it is illegal. Anyone even substantially adjacent to protest actions where a “frisky” PD has jurisdiction.

                    You are the absolute epitome of useful idiocy if you aren’t just a fed – which I don’t say often but am forced to consider here with an anarchist who says US lawbreakers have a police raid coming.

                    So we all agree purging fascists is good. We just understand who fascists are and accept the idea that using force against them (i.e., purges) is good, while you don’t have a fucking clue who fascists are and use some bullshit reasoning to say that your purges aren’t really purges.
