I believe the point is that they’re equally vague knee jerk reactions to seeing trigger phrases and relevant social signifiers, as opposed to legitimate and useful political categories

I’m an anarchist who gets called a tankie on Reddit for using the word “imperialism” and I approve this meme

GOOD POST

Antarctica’s been pretty quiet about Palestine 👀

People organize around this. They have meetings and approve templates and define borders and make alliances. It’s mock war. Meanwhile, ask them to simply replicate this behavior irl for the good of their communities and you usually get radio silence. Like a gamer who wants to keep “politics” out of their escapist hobby

Turns out there’s lots of stuff Reddit admins don’t like you saying

• Death to all slave owners
• Nazis get the pit
• Founding a social website posturing as a free speech space so that you can facilitate child pornography rings is bad and makes you deserving of painful death

You know, stuff like that. Stuff they have a personal stake in.
