        Because i see how this works. You’re not better than them, you’re doing the same thing they complain about, and so far, that’s what authoritarians do. I forget a lot about tankie things that I don’t understand, because they’re usually banned, shouted down, etc. You keep showing your insecurity in my inbox, have the last word and feel smug. You’re so sure about your ideas, you can’t tolerate me entertaining otherwise. Maybe I’d come to the same conclusion for myself if I can’t let that happen because it’s not possible to hear from them. I used to defend freedom of speech for Nazis too, but I learned. I also learned about psyops of everyone from cliques to governments, including inflation and band wagon.

            Ow oooh owwww I’m going to wither and die because someone on the internet felt threatened by a different perspective and rather than have legit rebuttal attacked like they accuse tankies of doing.

                Right, right. You don’t “feel threatened,” so you immediately try to kneecap someone to prove how tall you really are. Sure.

                  You’ve made a pretty pathetic case for yourself. To me it looks like you are the one who feels threatened and insecure. I guess it’s hard to know how you look to the rest of us.

                  Ok? You’re the one who claimed that you were leaving, and yet you keep coming back to get the last word despite the abuse. Shouldn’t the abuse you’re deservedly receiving be some kind of impetus to, you know, actually leave? Or are you just too dumb to take the hint?

                    Yes, I went and followed another thread, and you all kept showing in my inbox. The other things I did were interesting and I forgot until the rage notifications came in. Like another commenter was asking for a solidly rational answer, so was i. I didn’t even know the term until more recently and I don’t agree with my ideas so great, i need violence, coercion, insults etc to come in. Anyway, my homegirl and mutual friends were all together in between times and this was space filler for downtime/(sometimes) idle contemplation (one need not accept an idea to entertain it). Thanks for the compelling arguments that “convinced” me. I did change my default filter for a minute and see a post in the top ten about subscriptions to whole other instances, so I’ve done that and it’s as rampant as hexbear, unsubscribe. I literally thought it was fascist based on the large, flashing “freedom! Own the libs!” that was so obnoxious, it hurt my eyes and I was confused about the nature of the server. Again, authoritarian communism. Yes, I understand the distaste but Communist philosophy in general isn’t something I’ve been widely exposed to outside a couple of college classes, and I daresay, English lit and soc 101 were probably where I got any exposure at all (maybe also critical reading, thinking, syllogism etc classes). It was definitely… illuminating. And i only got dv’d, cursed and insulted for wanting to see for myself, rather that doing the same, calling anyone stupid, moron, shitlib, fascist etc.
