I guess I just don't see much benefit in fraternizing with them, the optics on it are bad (see: hexbear being labeled and dismissed as a tankie instance), and if they're the ones who ultimately win, things historically have not gone well for the anarchists and anyone else who values personal liberties

That's you. You're doing that. It's you thats doing the labeling. If you don't like that label, stop using it

I thought it was all the tankies from your instance flooding the fediverse with their tankie rhetoric, but it's nice that you're giving me the sole power to warp the public image

I mean you're the person right now in this interaction using the label tankie, despite the fact that a "tankie" is someone that supports the intervention in hungary in the 70's. It's a weird label to be throwing around all willy-nilly, so you must have a reason for it. Seeing as how you're against that label being used, you should probably stop using it. Take some responsibility
