Did they all flock to Raddle or something?

    So, as you can see, all four of us have stayed up for the entire night! Now that’s what I call . . . anarchy!

    I just can’t with politics rn. CoViD, Ukraine, deintegration of climate activism, Hamas-Israel War in Israel and Gaza all happened somewhat in short time span and all the explanations so far have been (of the entire left TBH) insufficient.

    Complex issues that need answers, but those need years of thinking, I guess.

      Kinda feel the same way. Just so numb to it. Like the Middle East thing. I feel like I walked into a domestic violence situation and everyone is throwing stuff. Just everyone chill please, you are hurting each other, you can’t want this. No? Ok I am just going to sit here and try not to cry. I have no solutions to offer, no way to help, no side to pick, and everyone seems to think that if I just pick their faction 100% it will be fine.

      At least I can donate blood this week and I don’t know maybe it will get there or not.

        For the whole “don’t force things on other people” part of anarchy, the situation in Palestine is very clear.

    You gotta be just having bad timing, they’re plenty present. They’re not a majority, but they’re fairly vocal.

    Me personally I grew old. It will happen to you one day, or at least you should hope it does. Little bit different quoting Bakunin at age 17 while having a mohawk (yes I did have one) vs trying that at age 35.

    Things change and that’s okay.

      When I was in college I told my girlfriend’s dad I was a Marxist and he “quoted” someone on the topic (which I’m pretty sure was made up on the spot):

      Never trust anyone who wasn’t a Marxist before age 25 or was, after.

    I’m part of a local anarchist group and we pitch ideas and proposals to different parties who would listen, posting about it on Lemmy wouldn’t help with that.
