    You’re missing my point.

    I know full well where I’m posting. You’re talking about the importance of nuance, while painting all Hexbear users as somekind of monolithic hivemind.

    Meanwhile, I a humble Hexbear user, am trying to ask a user from another instance, in good faith, to explain their ideological position in more depth. Because I earnestly want to know.

    If you want to probe the “liberal=fascist” sentiment, we can. But that’s not the discussion I’m trying to have here.

    You’re the pot calling the kettle black, my friend.

      Friend, you’re right, I am missing your point.

      I wasn’t trying to engage in a conversation with you at any point. I don’t know why you keep replying.

      We seem to mostly be in alignment on the issue of liberals and Nazis not being the same. I was offering my viewpoint to the original commenter I replied to, just in the same way that you did, when you came at me with this “I’m standing right here” bullshit.

      If you’re hurt because I’ve insulted your instance, that’s tough. If you hang out with Anarchists all the time, you aren’t allowed to get upset if someone calls you an Anarchist. I’m far from the only person who has pointed out the frequency of viewpoints that lack any connection to reality coming out of Hexbear. My comment was a PSA and I won’t apologize for calling it out.

        You keep repeating this smug, Thatcherite “no connection to reality” line and I think it’s really not helping your case when you’re trying to appeal to “nuance”. I don’t think you have a very good idea of what leftists actually believe, or you’d have more to say about its substance.
