I think the problem here is that this “shitposting” comes off as… Completely anti collaboration?
That’s why it’s a problem. Maybe you’re in favour of collaboration. But do younger anarchists realise that? Does the general bulk of the numbers realise that? Or is this kind of posting actually working entirely against the left overall because it splits us? Because a significant portion of people genuinely take it to heart and believe it. How many spaces actively purge marxists now because of “aaaaaa tankies”? That’s occurring because of this kind of propaganda. Is it helping anyone? Fuck no it’s not. Look at every single lemmy community where we’ve been purged, are they better? They’re far right shit holes even if there’s a handful of people trying to change that, they’re utterly dominated by the worst people.
If the right split like the left does we’d be in power in half of europe.
The right does split like the left. Hell, sometimes they’re straight up shooting each other.
Look, everyone has their own experiences. I know plenty of anarchists who won’t even go near MLs because of how extremely traitorous they are right now. You don’t come where I come from. You don’t know my experiences. Some anarchists mistrusts MLs with very good reasons and that’s fine. And it’s also fine to shitpost about it in an anarchist forum without having half of hexbear come in like a rampage of sealions.
And given how quickly hexbears were to close ranks and piledive me from orbit, and then gaslight me on top, well, let’s just say my impression has not improved.

Extremely rarely, although that is what is occurring in Spain right now.

The people for left-unity are going to feel attacked by anti-left-unity posting. This is just a fact.
When people feel attacked the result of that shouldn’t really be that surprising, should it? Especially when the spread of that rhetoric would actively harm hexbear. People are going to be protective of something they see as integral to the only space on the internet that they feel safe.

Hexbears going over to an anarchist space, and showing their asses to the world as either sealions or toxic trolls is fairly counter-productive.
Or do you think this has been a good showing has had a positive result for hexbear in any sense?
I think everyone looks fucking ridiculous. You, me, everyone. There is never and there has never been a single sectarian argument where everyone involved did not look like a clown.
Which is precisely why people should not even start that shit.
(Some) Anarchist, will continue not believing in Left Unity. Sorry, but I don’t ascribe to this ML position on “anti-sectarianism”. People are going to continue starting this shit. It’s up to hexbear to not make it end up…well, like this.
It’s not just an “ML position”, in fact it’s not an ML position at all and there is no ML party with that position. Your attempts to frame it as one are sus.

You. You’re the “people”. You are saying “I’m going to do this more”.
Really don’t be surprised when this completely derails into hostility and destroys any kind of positive relationship you attempted to build. Anyway I’m disengaging now. Please don’t call me back in here.
“Anti-sectariansim” is an ML keyword. Anarchists don’t talk like that. you may think this is a generic thing, but it’s not.
and there is no ML party with that position
They sure talk about it a lot though.
Your attempts to frame it as one are sus.
Ah I see we started poisoning that well already…
You. You’re the “people”. You are saying “I’m going to do this more”.
You realize I just crossposted this meme, yes?
And if you think the Anarchist distrust for MLs is not a common phenomenon, then you’ve been in that hexbear echo chamber way too long.
Really don’t be surprised when this completely derails into hostility and destroys any kind of positive relationship you attempted to build.
I don’t know if you noticed, I haven’t tried to build any relationship with MLs. I don’t trust them. Even less so since today. Even less since y’all started implying fedjacketing shit. You do your thing, I do mine. I’ve merely left my door open because I think you peeps have sometimes valid criticisms against libs and it’s good to be kept on edge from the left. Don’t mistake this with me trying to make alliances with tankies who would put me against the wall first chance they got.
