Just reposting this excellent point from lemmygrad

    An anarchist having sympathy for one of the bloodiest regimes of the 19th and early 20th century makes absolutely no sense

    Is this a bit?

            Ok that's good for them, I'm simply clarifying hexbear's anti-sectarian policy cause apparently alot of lemmy users take issue with it and following the rules in general

          I dunno. I've only been on Lemmy for a few months. Some people really enjoy being edgelords on the Internet. Without the context of what particular wall it was with bullet holes from summary executions, it could just as easily been a farmhouse where Black and Tans murdered someone for speaking Irish, to me.

          Context matters and I didn't have it - might be good to ensure that everyone is on the same page before deriding and belittling them. The world's fucked up enough as it is without going off on each other or assuming malice when ignorance is the cause.

            I agree context does matter, that's why it's usually sensible to look for context clues before engaging in a sectarian screed about the typical commies murdering folks because it was "perpetrated by revolutionaries in the past"

            But hey I got no beef, you claim it was ignorance I'll take your word for it
