    this should be the biggest takeaway from this election cycle and it saddens me to see that american liberals drink as much coolaid as maga and that they’re become more prevalent in the fediverse.

      Why would this surprise you? Democrats are center right politically, they’re just as happy to flirt with authoritarianism when it suits them.

      Anarchists hate tankies. Tankies hate liberals. Liberals hate anarchists. Meanwhile, Trump, fascism, and Project 2025 is on the horizon. Reach across the divide. When the fascists come for you, are you really gonna ask if the people willing to fight with you are Leninists, Trotskyist, or social Democrats?

      We can criticize ideals, but at the end of the day, we’re all fighting fascism.

        This is the same common wisdom that says liberals and socialist can’t get along; but there’s plenty to say otherwise.

        My desire is to not enable fascim from any direction; both conservative and liberal varieties alike.
