  • Same sentiment as all the posts constantly saying they hope places like texas secede or that we should just split the country in to two and give them all the red states.

    And then the cis/het person gets offended that you pointed out that their dumb not well thought out idea is actually harmful and say you are being hyperbolic…

    Tbh lately i am just so fuckin done with cis people… Im white and in the past when a black person would say they never really trust white people ever i did feel a bit of hurt but i get it now… its how i feel about cis/het people… i dont trust them, any of them…








  • As far as I understand, Anarchism doesn’t mean no rules, it means no rulers. No hierarchy of people.

    The rules would be set up in such a way to actively discourage individual accumulation of power as much as possible. But a system like that could still have rules, just enforced collectively instead of power being parceled out to individuals. I think there are a lot of practical ways you can try to reduce power accumulation, like term limits is a very obvious example that is a concept we are familiar with. Or like ways of reducing wealth inequality can also be seen as a way of trying to reduce hierarchy.

    I don’t know all the theory, I honestly feel like that kinda shit isn’t always the most useful anyways. But there are obvious things we can do now to reduce hierarchy and they seem like things that would be good. Having an ideological stance that hierarchy is bad, and we should reduce it as much as possible… that’s Anarchism.




  • I think the biggest flaw with Bernie is he turns into a cheerleader for the democratic nominee after he loses the primaries. He did it for Hillary and he does it with Biden. I understand he is doing it because he thinks trump would be worse, but at the same time it kinda hurts the progressive movement and messaging. It feels like we are giving up our progressive goals just to elect Biden, or else suffer an even worse option. It kills the enthusiasm when both the options suck and it feels inevitable that the one we actually want will lose or has lost already.

    Don’t get me wrong tho I love Bernie, but this is my biggest gripe with him.
