idk if I'd call tankies antifascist. They just think it's the wrong color
The auth-left does oppose the auth-right, so your pedantry is both unnecessary and unappreciated as it drives the exact divisiveness among [whatever preferred term you choose for the group we both know I'm talking about] that I'm criticizing.
Tankies don't have left aligned values, only left aligned appearance.
So what? Whether the auth-left or the auth-right, talk about pedantic. It's the auth. IT'S THE AUTH.
and I don't appreciate your lack of appreciation
I'm well-aware both flavors of hyper-authoritarianism are bad, I'm pointing out that your picking fights with people who oppose fascism is the exact counter-productive bickering I was criticizing.
There was this dude at work I was trying to get to watch the first couple episodes of andor season 2 because the bickering in the woods rang so similar to liberals and leftists arguing, especially online. The rebels capture Andor(literal revenge driven super antifa spy and movement leader) by chance while he's undercover and proceed to bicker among themselves and split their ranks in half while an ambush draws closer. Too busy with vanity and their purity tests to find common ground with their allies
