I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, r*****, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.
I can't tell you how often I have encountered the viewpoint that "Tankies only support Putin because they think he is a socialist."
And if you say something like "I have literally never met any 'tankie' that believes this and I meet a lot of them," they will just ignore you. No rebuttal, no insult, usually not even a cursory dismissal. They just act like you didnt say anything
The only people who fit the criteria for the liberal conception of communists are Caleb Maupin and that Haz guy. They're self styled communists who do speak positively about Putin and modern Russia. They also talk fondly about...the United States and talk shit about...service workers. They're the ones who are incoherent.
They're also virulent antisemites and pal around with actual fascists like that Dugin guy. My point here is that Maupin and Haz are probably feds or fed adjacent. And somehow these guys have become what a large groups of liberals believe a communist is.
Ohhh I see, they've mistaken the so-called maga communists for something more than national socialists doing yet another appropriation
Yeah but how they've even encountered maga communists is a mystery. They're so niche you have to basically be a politics nerd like one of us. How they conflate maga communists with normal Marxists is another question entirely. The only answer I've come up with is there's someone at the state department pushing this stuff
I imagine a lot of the liberal influencers talk about it and just call them communists. I think that's the entire point of maga communism even if it isn't an actual gov run op. The people doing it are all the type to do this kind of shit as a way to get attention and "troll the left"
