Weirdly intense and antagonistic internet communists.

Like, picture that guy you avoided conversations with when you were 19.

Because, Id wager, their userbase is primarily edgy leftist teenagers, really kind of like if 4chan was left and not right.

Can confirm, was an edgy leftist teenager on hexbear right when it was started – after r/chapotraphouse was banned.

They're so far to the left I don't even consider them left anymore. They've fully wrapped around to be indistinguishable from the right (but not racist so much as intensely totalitarian).

Horseshoe theory is holocaust trivialization, according to mainstream Jewish scholars of the holocaust.

There were no indications that you were joking, I'll leave my comment up for other people who missed it.

Equating communists you disagree with with fascism is holocaust trivialization, according to mainstream Jewish scholars of the holocaust.

When did I say I was minimizing the Holocaust?

I'm saying that both are authoritarian. Both are incompatible with Democracy and the current rules based international order, which when working correctly can prevent genocide from occurring (i.e. if the UN peacekeeping missions actually do their job).

rules based international order

What rules? Who do I report the USA to for repeatedly violating all of the rules and killing millions of people around the globe?

Hey! I'm the guy people avoided conversations with and I take offense to this comparison.
