I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

Would you prefer we refer to you as dronie or anarkiddie?

I wouldn't understand what dronie is so that term might not well serve the purpose if used to address me. If you address me as anarkiddie, it be enough for a tiny giggle, but then I'll be remembered how that term is actually discrimination against children. It helps to reproduce adultism over and over again.

Dronie refers to the fact that anarchist positions are always aligned with US foreign policy. It's exact same rationale as the tankie slur you love so much. Meanwhile, anarkiddie refers to the fact that full grown adults hold infantile views of the world.

hmm, ok. This wouldn't fit me. I'm opposing US foreign policy in most parts, not all I must admit. I'm for: Dismantle the US empire. It's just a phrase, but I mean it like that.

You're literally peddling US state propaganda in this thread.

you're aware that dev of lemmy use the term tankie as a self description too?

Same logic as saying that Black people use the n word colloquially and therefore it's fine to use it as a slur.
