The ones I'm thinking of would not appreciate being called "liberal".

Well, I meant my lefty friends. If you look at my comment history, I'm not much a liberal myself, but I don't consider tankies on the left. I consider them authoritarian fuckbags that will say anything to get power. Just like authoritarian fuckbags on the right.

I consider them flat Earth theorists that weren't right-wing enough for the normal conspiracy pipeline. The Stalin stuff is pretty much just decoration.

I've seen plenty of anarchist gatekeeping, too, although when you haven't organised in the first place there's less to split.
