Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I came from a red area so my initial programming was right libertarian. I was still young amid the US right's ascendancy in the mid 2010s, and I was beginning to get plugged in to libertarian echo chambers when I first encountered the term 'antifa'. Since I, you know, engage in politics in good faith, I investigated a bit and followed up to the libertarians with "But aren't fascists bad? Aren't we antifascist even if we disagree with others who are also antifascist?" to which I received the customary "antifa are the real fascists". I knew then and there that I was dealing with unserious people and began drifting left from there. I then had a left anarchist phase but grew out of it lol
