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:




yooooo same, him and UniversalMonk were my first two “nope, every account you’ve ever made and every community they moderate need to be out of my sight forever” blocks. Fortunately he doesn’t seem to spread as virulently as Monk does.
OP’s post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. And exactly how do I spread “virulently”?
I mostly post in my own socialist communities. If you don’t like socialism, cool. Glad you have blocked my communities, but it’s silly to say I spread “virulently.”
Unless of course you mean people like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time and keeping me feeling famous. Which is awesome. So yes, keep doing that. I like the attention that you all give me. :)
UM, PJ, JL. First three users I noticed making me have a negative experience on the threadiverse. Pretty much in that order.Which I’m realizing now in my head I imagine them as the
threestraight white dudes of this experienceEDIT: I’ve apparently never interacted with the real UM, just a troll account
OP’s post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. I’m not straight, but nice try and bringing my sexuality into this. Why are you trying to bring my sexuality into this?
Care to explain yourself?EDIT: All good now. Looks like we have never actually interacted and it was mistaken identity.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 @[email protected], 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!
