I know these federated communities exist as well as raddle, but it still seems like most people will stay on toxic and corporate-run platforms like reddit or Twitter. I’m far from perfect myself and I still use reddit sometimes, especially for more niche communities, but when it comes to ideologically strong communities like the anarchist ones, it just feels wrong that the majority still hang out on reddit. Or you know, moving to something like Bsky when Twitter became too toxic but which is still run by a large, for-profit corporation (if they moved in the first place). What are your thoughts? Is there any justification for this?
Another common trait of the “anarchist as an aesthetic” liberal is that they call everyone cops for criticizing them.
To be an anarchist you do need to actually know what one is, what the principles are, and subsequently do work. If you don’t know what one is, you could never identify as one correctly. If you don’t know the principles, well I’m just being redundant, that’s essential to knowing what one is. If you don’t do work, you are anarchism sympathizer, but have nothing to show for your beliefs. Praxis is essential to anarchism.
That’s just, like, your onion, man
Well it’s definitely just not mine.
