    Amazing replies (emphasis added):

    If anyone wants to argue. Both want an oppressive rule that brings about very great gains to the society. Certain parts are eradicated.

    All in the name of greater good.

    More importantly, oppression magically skips over them.

    Yes, that is fascism. Funny you ask.

    The post is about removing tankies from the community and that’s justified partly on the grounds that tankies what to remove certain parts of society (fascists, counter-revolutionaries).

    They’re trying to do the liberal thing of calling a particular action bad )while ignoring the target of the action)…and at the same approving of the action when their community does it.

    • Great point. What I think is interesting too is that the Fedi itself, with its moderation (AuThoritarianizzzm) is a decentralized way of doing social media and it still has/turns into hierarchies.

      It also ends up creating many unintended problems like these sorts of leftists defining a thing and factually suppressing discussions about it. So there is a lot of oppression in this decentralized supposedly anarchist way of organizing the internet commons. And when you claim your system is not hierarchical and has no issues, you never have to address the issues because you can always claim they don’t exist at all.
