they pretty much only exist to break the left's solidarity

The "left" in question:

Leave it to liberals to accuse a website full of queer socialists of being fascist, just because they don't agree with your state department approved talking points. 🤡

Break the left's solidarity

This is one of the only places I've seen where MLs and Anarchists get along

"The left's solidarity" in this user's mind means liberals, not actual leftists.

Whoa, user DjangoFett thinks we are fascists after a public crashout where they not only called us Nazis for generally supporting China (because they think they are totally immune to propaganda unlike us because we don't just believe that China randomly persecutes religious minorities because the Western media tells us), but also were generally rude and completely full of themselves?

Color me shocked. They wouldn't know a fascist if one pissed on their shoes, as long as the Western media told them is was a little old nationalist freedom fighter.

Hey look, the bottom one is that asshole that came in here to argue for liberal politicians multiple times

Fascism is when they call me a racist, sexist, homophobe or transphobe. Or tell me that voting for a war criminal means you're supporting a war criminal.

Really curious what their definition of socialist is

This is code for "they were mean to me personally"

What are the first signs of a hostile fascist take over a fediverse instance?

Latvians need to build more manufacturing in their country to stand up to China’s enabling of Russia!

fascism is when you are mean to me

Fascism is when you want to actually punch a fascist rather than

When I first joined Lemmy I saw the warnings and I thought to myself, "man those guys must be jerks I better watch out for them!"

Turns out those guys were dumb and you guys are awesome!

"coming across strongly" isn't even a bad thing, this guy just associates it with fascism. Yeah, I want us to be strong, I don't want the bourgeoisie seeing the people as a bunch of weak pushovers they can exploit to death, they should be intimidated by our numbers should we throw off our chains. Only liberals would believe that weakening your polticial movement is somehow to your benefit

"" seems a bit inappropriate when there's double digits of people in here talking about some random guy saying "I don't like Hexbear" with less than two dozen upvotes on an instance i don't even think we're federated with

You almost had me fooled Hexbear

If you don't support western imperialist wars you are a fascist, actually.

lmao. So much to unpack here.

Their idea of "the left's solidarity" is feigning reluctance while just voting for genocidaires and doing nothing else. We get in the way of that slightly so we must be fascists.
