    A group of powerful, if sectarian and misguided, posters lost to the whims of the ever increasing censorship of the "free world." :sankara-salute: Hope the good ones find their way here, and learn that the "anarchists" they hate are the same breed as the dem socs they dunk on but principled, committed anarchists are comrades through and through, and that ironically stanning Assad and Putin morphing into unironic stanning of right-wing capitalist despots just because they oppose American imperialism is real Not Good.

      "what even is critical support, and why does it not apply whenever the joke isn't funny to me?"

        Yeah I guess some of it was always unironic, but I like to think the original intent of those memes was ironic because they are legit funny. The "Assad must go" meme is an OG.

      I've actually seen many a post on there that they support IRL anarchists who made an impact, and that the real problem is the ones on reddit. Thinking about it, their sectarianism makes a lot of sense, due to most "anarchists" and other communists would be just western libs, so they had to go full defense mode, resulting in the current sectarianism.
