    Oh, no, most of the critique, especially of lemmygrad, is from a right wing stance (right wing from an anarchist prospective). There are are plenty of good conversations to be had about the role of activism and the state in achieving liberation. But the standard critique is a knee jerk reaction.

    I blocked those two hexbear comnunities because they are the most likely to insert hexbear’s wild and unpleasant meme culture into my timeline. They aren’t terribly interested in any discussion that doesn’t start and end with their viewpoint, cause its meme culture.

    I have an 60% confidence I will get sea-lioned for this comment. Also a 20% chance I will get pig poop balls, although highlighting it may increase those odds

    edit: after 5 hours I did not get sea-lioned. I admit I was overly critical in that estimate.

      Yeah, I’m seeing it’s more Right-wingers than anarchist comrades so I do get skeptical.

      But I understand about the meme culture. It can be heavy-handed but I actually like it. I think it’s funny and it is a nice break from just liberal or apolitical meme humor. I’ve seen some good discussions there though but honestly not too many anarchist discussions, although I get the feeling it wouldn’t be totally rejected. I wish there was more solidarity and love between us.

        Yeah, I subscribe to and participate in soma hexbear communities. I don’t throw it all out. And of course, the majority of critique of liberation will come from the right wing. There are some anarchist comnunities on lemmy, I hope to see you there some time!

          That’s good to hear, too! I came to Lemmy, besides reddit’s issue with third-party apps, because I wanted to be around other Leftists. I don’t care too much about the specifics of everyone’s politics, just want to have a good time.

          I definitely lurk (and have probably commented) on some anarchist communities too! Do you have any you recommend? There are so many communities, I’m still getting around to subscribing to them. And I have a backup account on your instance too. Haha
