I hate it when I go to meet my Tinder date, and it's Stalin catfishing me again

The horrors persist, but so do I

I really do hope you click some of those links I gave you. I think it might surprise you what you find. Best wishes.

Edit: Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it a cult lol

Knitting is super fun. I used to do it every day until I started my masters. I keep thinking I should restart this hobby. As long as you don't buy ridiculously premium yarns, it's super cheap too. I used to find boxes of yarn at yard sales or thrift stores.

You can absolutely be a narcissist if you think you are a shining example of the purity of man

I don't think this. I'm flawed just like anyone else. In fact, I'm a recovered alcoholic/addict.

And ignorant if you think that its the only default.

I don't. That's why I read widely. I don't think Marxism is the right way, but I'd even be open to be convinced otherwise. I can't even settle on anarcho-communism or anarcho-primitivism. They both present compelling arguments and examples.

Thank you for touching my lowly peasant life oh mighty angel of good and empathy

I'm not. I've made some horrible mistakes, like the time I said I hoped the person who stole from me would ... do something bad and permanent to himself. But I try my best to practice empathy, yes. I work with a lot of people who have been very hurt by our system.

May the Almighty SpongeBob fry you a Krabby Patty this day

Lol, same to you

I truly hope you have a great day. I'm not perfect, but I don't think I'm a narcissist. In fact, like most people I don't need to be coerced or threatened into looking out for other people besides myself. I loathe inequality and bigotry, which is why I subscribe to anarchism.

Blessings to you.

I'll check, but I'm pretty sure they're still there. I think you can get a lawyer to have it expunged, but I don't think it just drops off on its own.

Edit: Nevermind, it costs like $30 just to check this, and I already have a job I like so forget it lol

Again, anarchism does not claim that we will abruptly end society and everyone will immediately cooperate. Anarchism does not rely on people being perfect. Anarchism is not the absence of rules (though the term "rules" may not be uses, since it implies connection to a hierarchical system).

You are using a false definition of anarchism, based on anti-anarchist misinformation and propaganda. You make as much sense as the "anarcho" capitalists. You think it means no rules, no guidelines, no societal roles.

Read up on the Zapatistas. There you will find a good example of an anarchist community at work. Even my non-profit, though not purely anarchist, adopts many of its principles, such as that of horizontality.

Good day to you. It seems you need more time to reflect and learn from what I've said. Honestly understandable -- sometimes these forums seem to inherently encourage hostility and doubling down in spite of oneself, and I think you'll come to know that what I'm saying is accurate once you've had some time to mull this over and maybe click some of those links I gave you.

Anarchism is the absence of hierarchies, not the absence of rules. There are very much thriving anarchist communities and agencies among us, even if they don't use the term "anarchist."

Communism is defined as "a stateless, classless society." This too is anarchism.

Again, I'd encourage you to start by understanding what constitutes anarchism. If you want to argue that it won't work, then fine, but this version of anarchism you've concocted in your mind doesn't match with what any anarchists have ever claimed. No one merely expects everyone to play nice, and nothing about anarchist theory relies on human nature being perfect. It can and does work in spite of our human flaws.

What it does claim is that traits like mutual aid and cooperation are suppressed in an unjust system, and that these things are just as much present in humans as are harmful traits like competition or war.

Please read up on what anarchism is. It's impossible to have a discussion about something totally fabricated and baseless.

Even misdemeanors can be hard. I know I've been turned down for jobs based on my two arrests for disorderly conduct years ago. They're not felonies, but they show up in a background check.

You can have mutually agreed upon rules and structure in anarchism. "The Conquest of Bread" by Peter Kropotkin explains the theory behind anarcho-communism pretty well. I'm not aware of any form of anarchism that doesn't have rules in some form. At the very least, you'd have the "rule" against hierarchies, otherwise you wouldn't have anarchism.

I don't even know where to start because you are basing this on a complete misunderstanding and misrepresentation of what anarchism is. Anarchism does work. I'd encourage you to read that book I linked, at least the introduction.

I'd also recommend reading "Mutual Aid" by Peter Kropotkin. The ugly traits like greed you reference are greatly exacerbated by our unjust and oppressive society. No species survives without mutual aid.

Anarchism is fundamentally incompatible with fascism, capitalism, and other unjust and oppressive systems. The fascist with whips and chains won't cease because some nerd explains anarchism -- he will cease because he will he yeeted if he persists in harming others for his own personal gain.

Please read something. Or listen. I'm sorry if this comes across as rude, but you are very, very ignorant.

You were born in the United States

That sounds really annoying. I used to have the opposite problem on Lemmy's Jerboa app where I couldn't zoom at all, until they updated it and changed that.

You are completely wrong about what constitutes anarchism. In fact, although there are different anarchist theories, some of the things you cite are incompatible with any form of anarchism. For example, enslavement is objectively hierarchical and impossible to reconcile with anarchism of any form, as is capitalism, as is bombing someone to force them to do your will. You are parroting anti-anarchist propaganda. I'd encourage you to read up on this.

Anarchist communities definitely have structure. It's just that the structure is horizontal, so to someone who's immersed in our hierarchical society, it may be confused for disorder.

No country is anarchist

Clap clap! Now you're understanding! There can be no state, correct.

because then they couldn't have rules to consider themselves a country

It depends on what you mean by "rules." Certainly, oppression is categorically not permitted under anarchism, nor any form of enslavement or exploitation. You can certainly have agreed upon guidelines and roles in your community. Anarchy isn't the absence of rules, but rather the absence of hierarchies and a state. Anarchist communities usually have ways of ensuring liberty for all, and may use measures like diffuse sanctions or even exile from the community in extreme cases.

Edit: Might I add that to me it seems like anarchism is the most considerate, empathetic philosophies. I'm not sure why you think it's just thoughtless, because it's not. It encourages things like mutual aid and comraderie.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with anarchism. Fascism, capitalism, statehood, and hierarchies are categorically incompatible with anarchism, and I don't know anyone who thinks we should just recklessly throw bombs and hope for the best. I feel like these "leftists" you're referring to are entirely made out of straw, and the history you're talking about refers, I believe, to authoritarian communist regimes like the USSR and China, while ignoring that there are examples of successful communities that could be considered anarchist. Maybe they're harder to spot because they by definition don't involve statehood. I provided one example in my comment, but there are others.

I love 80s thrash

The nice thing about anarchism is you don't have to wait for society to collapse. We can start practicing it now and let it grow from there.

The Zapatistas didn't wait for society to collapse, and neither should we! 🥰

No crabbo, me boy! Arr, arr, arr, arr, arr!
