Im newish to anarchist nexus so I cant say for sure either. They also aren’t the only ones. I never heard anarkiddy until I came here. Not that I really care. The right just seems so massive right now that infighting is like cheering for your ingrown toe nail.
If anyone calls you that on here, I believe it violates rule 8. But I’ve not seen it frequently, to be honest. My experience of spaces outside of here is that the “tankie” and “red fascist” accusation is constant, including against anarchists who make the mistake of going against the crowd in any way - though while I don’t have a lot of experience with anarchist.nexus from what I’ve seen it’s way better than a lot of other places and seems like a pretty good, chill space.
Edit: I used the search and found 34 comments containing the word “anarkiddy” and approximately 200 using “anarkiddie” on this instance over the course of its entire existence, a huge number of which were ironic, jokes, or criticisms of the word. I think most instances where “tankies” are decried probably fill that quota within a few days. That’s not to say that “anarkiddy” is the only possible form of sectarianism against anarchists, of course, but I don’t think the word is used frequently enough to say it’s symptomatic of a particular problem on here.
They seem to relish being a wrecker. Which is weird since it’s only seemed to be happening recently or I just completely missed the earlier ones?
