in which PugJesus makes a post about ‘solidarity’ and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.
I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn’t resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes
PJ says:
but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.
Me:
I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

it turns out that he doesn’t practice what he preaches at all. Obligatory:
Hey, sorry about that. The account I’d interacted with was the exact same set of interactions I’ve come to expect from “well meaning” straight white men who as soon as you say they’re perpetuating something harmful go full obliteration mode because they expect you to exist in service of their own perfect self-actualization path instead of as human beings with thoughts and feelings. I’m sorry I promoted falsehoods about you thinking it was the real you. I assumed I knew what you were like based on a simulacrum intentionally created to distort my and others’ perceptions of you. I will open my eyes to you and see you with my observing eye and my assessing eye, and determine who I think you are afresh from here.
I replied to another comment as well under my main account of @UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I wanted to follow up to this reply as well you are so generous and well-spoken.
Plus, I’ve added a new word to my vocabulary: simulacrum
So thank you for that!

So you can judge for yourself. You may still block me, and I’m ok with that, because at least you’ll be choosing to do it based on facts and not what other people say about me or how they try to troll people.
You’re good in my book, friend!
