Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?

So you're in the age bracket most susceptible to online propaganda, got it.
Like I said, focus up, mine elder.
I was referring to the modern day social media "anarchists", yeah. I am a survivor of r/politicalcompassmemes.
I think most real world anarchists aren't arguing on corporate social media for obvious reasons. Therefore it gets co-opted by the libertarian/ancap community, the misrepresentation of the philosophy perpetuates, and then we have comments like the one I was replying to calling it authoritarian. Hence my :/
Focus up during our upcoming elections, because it seems like you fall for social media propaganda easily.
Damn...not a dig at you, Soup, but "He was against murder" and "At least he didn't shoot the black guy" as defences really shows us where we are at for our country's representatives, huh?
I didn't say he was bad for his constituents. I just gave a publicly available reason that could have contributed to his turn to the right. For me personally, not apologizing after he made a very clear mistake, especially as we saw the increasing reports of black people getting profiled in white neighborhoods, is a yellow flag at the very least.
We have people in this thread asking why Democrats always have at least one guy who turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. The fact of the matter is, we all have prejudicial biases, no matter how liberal or left leaning our politics are. It's not bad to acknowledge and confront them. A lot of privileged Democrat voters though are afraid to look that in the eye, and then they're surprised when people they elect suddenly turn out to be unpalatable to them.
Julia Roberts??
Technically speaking, on paper both anarchism and communism advocate for the reduction of central powers that dictate authoritarianism.
In real world practice however...yeah :/
In 2013, John Fetterman chased a black jogger around his neighbourhood because he though fireworks were gunshots. More importantly, he never apologized.
The plausible deniability is there, I admit. But not apologizing is what makes me think he was always like this. The stroke just made it so he no longer had the capacity to hide it.
And Parks Services members are out there protesting this time around too. What chads.
God, I hope he is actually in trouble. I saw that Nanos still has Cons in a massive lead with them at 42, Libs at 26, and NDP at 17 (I'm assuming the other 15 are Bloc/Green). Praying that it's outdated data and that once the Libs have a new leader the gap will get closer.
I cannot imagine the state of Canada if we have PP and Trump at the same time.
