Kinda sucks that this artist (Red and Black Salamander) never grew past their 2018 Bernie left phase, I used to like their stuff.
fucking christ, that twitter thread is a bunch of people who think the internet is real life. go ask people in real life about nazbols and tankies, they won’t know what the fuck youre talking about.
If I am ever lined up against the wall and shot, I’m gonna be pissed about being in the same line as Twitter liberals
it is truly sad how often a constantly-online anarchist sounds like a liberal. at least outside of hexbear. i feel like i never have that issue with commies/socialists.
As someone whose affinity group irl is mostly anarchists, I feel like anarchists on Twitter are just significantly more centrist than anarchists irl

I don’t even understand the stereotype. “Globalists” is a right wing dogwhistle for “jews”. I’ve never heard leftists use the term derogatorily. If we wanna talk shit about western hegemony or NATO, we use those terms directly.
There actually used to be a coherent leftist stance against “globalization” in the 90s. Like lots of protest movements, but that was much more focused on opposing things like corporate personhood, NAFTA, international debt schemes, stuff like that. I remember being in leftist chatrooms in like 2003 and they were talking about “globalism” but they meant the IMF. Leftists now seem to prefer to talk about that stuff in a broader context of imperialism.
Anyone now though using the term in a derogatory way is a deranged conspiracy theorist talking about Jews or they want a fascist world of nationality based on race.
I have no idea what that cartoon is supposed to say
I don’t think I’ve ever seen tankies complain about “globalism” tho. The only people who talk about it is right-wingers who came up with the term and some dumbass neolibs who embraced it fow some reason
To understand R&B Salamander’s brainworms one has to go back through their catalog and see their constant “tankie = MAGA” strawmanning and their liberal imperialist understanding of the ukraine conflict
