Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    The only time I ever see evidence of Anarcho types they are being literally as annoying as possible.

    Edit for clarity, it’s never “I started this charity/group/political campaign with signups/events/or public engagement.” Only ever “fuck everything, I can’t wait for society to fall apart such that the magic future can begin”

    Bro you gotta be constructive not destructive if you want to sway opinions

      Anarchists are pretty active in their communities, with mutual aid and direct action being cornerstones of the ideology and whatnot. If you spent any time in activist spaces you’d know that

        The point is they need to bring the nice side to public spaces, not be insular with the nice, and turn the mean to everything else.

          I think what you’re describing is less of an anarchism problem and more of a “people in general” problem. I’m an anarchist and I’d like to think I conduct myself pretty well for the most part, even in political discussions. I won’t say I haven’t been an ass online or in person before but that’s not due to my ideology. I’m just an ass sometimes. Same as everyone else. I will concede that we can be a bit insular at times and that’s certainly a weak spot for many anarchists

      …you said, being literally as annoying as possible and contributing nothing constructive

      …he said, fully cognizant of the hypocrisy, which is why he decided to contribute a snarky editorial comic

          At least I admitted my hypocrisy and did something about it. You’re just doubling down on a lazy stereotype to avoid engaging with constructive criticism.

          To paraphrase your own claim, it wasn’t “I started this charity/group/political campaign with signups/events/or public engagement.” Only “fuck anarcho types always annoying me”

            This is a thread about how folks act. So this is a “meta” politics thread.

            This isn’t the place I, or leftists would describe /do that. I’m describing other times and places where said behavior was observed.

            Critical thinking.

      I returned because I noticed your edit. I was being a bit snide, mostly because the meme is assuming everyone who calls someone a lib is authoritarian-aligned. If you’d like to know about the positive work I do as an organizer, I’d be happy to share. However, to me those actions are just the right thing to do and not worth bringing up randomly.

        That’s fair. Below I clarified as well, this is a meta.thread. of course no one is discussing their work here. Also my opinion is anecdotal. Of course there are leftists who work very hard to move the window, and help others.
