      It’s a term reactionaries invented to promote horseshoe theory bullshit and general whataboutism. It’s basically a dogwhistle

        hexbear is garbage but “alt-left” is made up reactionary bullshit and if you have any leftist tendencies you’ll do well to keep that out of your vocabulary unless you want to share theories with fascists. That said, if you’re not a leftist, i don’t give a shit what you think and you can say alt left all you want

          Alt right = baddies; Alt left = imaginary baddies

          Got it. Thanks i am glad I have you to clear these things up for me. Its a good thing hexbears dont use liberal as a slur or hate on anyone that uses non hard left platitudes. Anyone that calls themselves true leftists but has a picture of Che engraved on their eyeballs and fluent in chinese anti west propoganda is not alt left. Gotcha. If you dont see that this anti west sentiment is alt left then I dont know what to tell you.

              Are you some undercover hexbear or something? Why would you think these people who are anti west but still want to be called leftist are not alt left?
