    I used to be the ML “all anarkiddies are useful idiots who only ever aid the state by being too stupid to recognise manufactured consent and propaganda” type of gal for my sins so I don’t blame the distrust.

    I’ve since grown up lmao and a big part of that was realising that most professed anarchists on twitter having shit takes are just LIB wankers who want to feel cool and left wing to avoid being called out for their racism and think anarchism is the perfect veneer.

    Meeting actually based well read anarchists irl at community orgs made me realise I was being that ML trope of arrogant snob.

      My least favorite is the feudalisn-with-extra-markets crowd who keep doing a fascist recuperation on anarchism. They ruined “libertarian” and now they keep trying to make “anarcho-capitalist” a thing, as if political compass was a real and healthy thing
