My thoughts exactly

Individuals have the power to block instances so I don't really understand why people are pushing for defederation. Just feels like ruining the fun for everyone just because they aren't having fun and aren't using the resources they have to make it fun. Defederation should be a last resort, and people seem to want to use it for petty squabbles. I don't like .ml or hexbear cause they're both tankies, but I'll just block the instances myself. Don't get why we gotta remove the choice from everyone else. But hey, I'm on .dbzer0 so if .world wants to defederate from .ml it isn't gonna affect me any

I was two when this came out lol

If bullpup revolvers are heresy then I guess I am Dark Mechanicus. I love my unconventional firearms

It is exactly this. Anarchists are generally really bad at explaining their ideas in a digestible way for the average person. I myself struggle at doing it. I think most of it is what you say, and I think part of it is that phenomenon where experts in a field have a hard time dumbing things down for people cause they overestimate the amount of knowledge the average person has in whatever field. I know what this poster is saying cause I have the needed historical context and ideological knowledge to understand what they are really saying. Most people don't and read this and think we are fucking stupid, insane, delusional, and utopian idealists. Anarchists are horrible at conveying our ideals cause too many of us are dedicated to conveying our beliefs through inside jokes.

I think overall good video. However I don't like how she conflates right wing "libertarianism" and "crypto-anarchists" with anarchism with anarchism.

Genuinely, fuck off fash. A broken clock is right twice a day. Doesn't mean I'm gonna recommend it to anyone. Belongs in the trash like all the other fascist and reactionary shit.

I think they are more likely to be a fash imo. They are trying to normalize a reactionary and far right texts. Fascists love to use the Unabomber to normalize reactionary ideology in leftist circles. And they always do that shit of trying to separate art from the artist like what the commentor is doing

Edit: Check their profile, they are conservative. Their username is occultist. They like the Unabomber Manifesto. The dude is a fascist not a fed.

I do not think it is unreasonable of the person to call this out. Liking the Unabomber's manifesto and saying its their favorite "anarchist" text is a huge red flag. The person being a fed or fash is entirely a realistic concern. Fascists use this strategy all the time. They try to normalize reactionary and far right texts by coming into circles and trying to relate the texts to people and cover their asses by play "separate the art from the artist card." Like what the person is doing by saying they don't like Ted but like his work. That is fascist tactics 101. Feds do similar stuff but in an effort to cause division and conflict. I think its less likely the commentor is a fed, and more likely they are a fash.

Its an insanely problematic text with some good points. There are actual anarchist writings that take the few good ideas Ted had and ditches all the problematic stuff. Anyone who says the Unabomber Manifesto is there favorite or similar is a huge red flag. It should not be compared to anarchist ideology. This is not a separate the art from the artist situation because Ted's shittiness is baked deep into the art itself. I also caution against anarcho-primitivist writings and ideology (the closest anarchist ideology to the Unabomber's) because those that believe that society at large should be anarcho-primitivist is insanely ableist (because without modern medicine and technology a lot of disabled people would either die or live painful lives). Anarcho-primitivists who just want to practice it individually are fine though.

Its not a figure of speech, its part of a quote. "When the people have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich" - Rousseau

Two state solution will always end up where we are now. There is no reason to divide the land, prior to the zionists it wasnt divided and for the most part people were fine.

Yeah how dare the Palestinians fight back against 70 years of colonization and oppression. Its always when they fight back that things have gone too far, not the ethnic cleansing. Fuck Hamas, but you can't seriously blame them for October 7th. None of this would be happening if zionists just shared the fucking land rather than stealing it. Don't blame the victims when they finally decide they don't want to be victims anymore.

Fucking this. Its like people bitching about when workers go on strike and it affects them. "How dare amazon workers go on strike, now my packages are going to be late." Like lets stop blaming the people who are deciding not to play the game, and instead blame the people making us play it in the first place

Everything the far-right uses is stolen. Libertarian used to be synonymous with anarchist till they stole it. Hell they even went after anarchism directly when the invented the walking contraduction "anarcho-capitalism." Every neo-nazi symbol is some cultural symbol they stole. Stealing stuff so others can't use it is the far-right's favorite pass-time.

Those that can't do become management

Drawings of poop and actual poop in a pornographic video are two different things. I am sorry you are affected by feces so severely. But also people can get triggered by a lot of things. Vomit for example. And yet shit and vomit are commonly used as gags in childrens cartoons.

You think workplaces would tolerate you being on social media at all?
