Well, you see, anarchists are childish because they want to do things a different way, just like children. Children don’t like being told what time to go to bed, or to brush their teeth, and anarchists don’t like being that they must forfeit countless hours of their lives to produce profits for evil, soul sucking corporate vampires with only the staving off of starvation as a reward, or being sent to kill and die for the profits of equally evil, equally soul sucking governmental vampires in the killing fields of a foreign land.
How do you not see the parallels? Childish anarchist, I stg
i just searched “backwards R” and then copied it from the google results….
there might be an invisible unicode character in there reversing in, but you can do all sorts of weird things with unicode….
see also, “upside down unicode text generator”.
…
people usually downvote that stuff though
i feel you… i’m a “coastal elite” but i’ve still seen a few trump caravans lately… it feels exactly like a nazi parade….
they’re not there to change minds or something, they’re there to intimidate….
It’s not the “different way of doing things” I have a problem with. It’s the people who think it means there should be no authority and they should be able to just do whatever they want. Regardless of its impact on the people around them. The walking tragedy of the commons that are most college freshmen who’ve just found out that Anarchy is a thing. They’ve obviously never thought about how 8 billion humans are going to do whatever they want with no authority.
I have a massive amount of respect for people who actually think about how to dismantle the capitalist system while maintaining mass infrastructure and durable systems that don’t just get knocked over the second someone wants to play warlord.
Good news, then! Your problem is not with anarchist. Not in the no true Scotsman way, either. I’ll quote a good one at the end, but essentially, anarchists do not believe there should be no authority, anarchists believe that authority should justify itself. Just and unjust authority exists, regardless of how you want to organize society. Anarchists even have groups, parties, organizations. The question isn’t whether or not we should have authority or whether we should just go buck wild and live every man for himself. What anarchists desire* is to maintain the infrastructure of our society, with resources being distributed in a more equitable way, and the decisions being made by way of the people who will actually be impacted by it, and by whose labor it was created.
*For the most part, anti and post civ not withstanding
Does it follow that I reject all authority? Far from me such a thought. In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker; concerning houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or the engineer. For such or such special knowledge I apply to such or such a savant. But I allow neither the bootmaker nor the architect nor savant to impose his authority upon me. I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure.
That quote is generally referred to as the authority of the boot maker and most anarchists would suggest not only not referring to the boot maker when you need a tooth pulled, but also having the right, and often moral duty, of consulting more than one expert when possible
Well, the people that want to do whatever they want regardless of the impact on thers are not anarchocommunists. This is a misrepresentation of what anarchocommunists actually want, which involves organisation.
“reall? how old…”.
ah, neat way to sneak in calling Anarcho-Communists children to this extremely old, dank meme

This one is just a substitution with the russian character “ya”: я Я

Thanks. I figured it was Unicode, but thought maybe there was some BBC mark-up that handled it.
Oh that’s genius
well thanks… feel free to make a t-shirt
To the free market!
But in all seriousness, I absolutely would wear that. But I don’t feel safe branding myself as a leftist anymore. :/

You have a problem with a misconception of anarchism. Anarchists believe in the importance of organisation.
You should really take a look at An Anarchist FAQ.
