It seems like you’re advocating for a sort of “live and let live” approach to organizing, which I understand when it’s about MLs tolerating anarchists and vice versa. But willfully ignoring fascist tendencies, well, ends up with fascists on your side. Which is just as toxic as the things you’re worried about.

Yeah except I'm not. If I was to fully describe the irony that is happening here it is this: "Hexbear culture is now seemingly tolerating if not out and out celebrating a fascist for something he's done, but will not tolerate a fascist in order to get them to do something they would find worthy of celebration."

For a culture that says "there can be no compromise with fascists", they have certainly found one, and they refuse to not only admit it, but they will continue to refuse the idea whose logical ends they are effectively cheering on.

Likewise the online inter ML/anarchist hatred is mostly based on aesthetics and vibes. That makes the issue of online ML/anarchist collaboration effectively the same problem as MLs cheering on a fascist for doing something they like, while pretending that they'll be able to hang every fascist in the US all 320M of them.
