I see a lot of disestablishmentarism

Not a whole lot of antidisestablishmentarianism though.

The hivemind has a doublethink of "Guns are bad, police should be allowed to confiscate them" and simultaneously "Abolish the police".

Also, purity testing. The Lemmy hivemind has decreed that: if you haven't committed an assassination against a dictator, you're not a leftist, you're complicit, and you deserve to be oppressed.
