Oh, I’ve never been a tankie. I was saying that I was one of the people that wanted to stay federated with Hexbear and try to make it work. I want to believe in leftist and queer unity, so I tried to turn a blind eye to their takes on Putin, thinking it was only a few bad apples.

But thinking back on it, the days we’ve been federated I was a lot angrier and jumpier than usual, and it’s because of the bad energy they bring. Defederating was for the best.
