I often hear that “tankies” are “so far left they circled back around to the right” or similar claims

This refers to the so called "horseshoe theory", a "political theory" with 0 explanatory power but that liberal accept and like because it conveniently lump all political positions opposing them in the same box as the literal NAZIs which allow the very convenient conclusion that liberalism is the only acceptable and morally correct political position and everything else is evil.

I’m wondering, /do/ you all have any views/positions/ideals that align with the right or far right?

I invite you to check out the instance and be the judge of that yourself.

But to cite a few things. We (with hexbear) are the biggest LGBTQ+ instance on lemmy, even surpassing blahaj despite it being advetized specificaly as an LGBTQ+ friendly instance, to the point where trans peoples easily make up about half of our entire userbase. We have no tolerance of bigotry of any kind, including the bigotry with plausible deniability of "progressive" liberals, if someone is racist, ableist, transphobic or anything else, that person will have their problematic comment removed and will be banned as soon as any mod finds out, there is no warning and no second chance. We want free healthcare, education and housing for all, we want guarantied employment for everyone, democracy in the workplace, we want production according to need not to the whim of a market.

We do have views that are controversial and clash with we are told all our lives in the west from the internet to the classroom, but the accusation is superficial at best and crumble as soon as you start looking at why we hold these opinions.

I am asking as an outsider to this group who does not identify as liberal and would consider myself absolutely left of whatever you consider liberals to be.

Here is what we mean by liberal, just for future reference:

Liberalism is one of the ideologies of capitalism (the other being fascism), it's core principles are, the enshrinement of private property as a fundamental right in liberal society, and capitalism as the mode of production.

Under this definition, Democrats, Republicans, right wing libertarians, social democrats and so on are all liberals, their disagreements are superficial and changing depending on what is politically convenient at the time for each particular brand of liberalism.

A good overview is this video.
