I read it more as “I reject your theory”. A lot of times I feel the communist side push theory in a cult like propaganda manner to silence other opinions and ignoring the human element. Not to say theory doesn’t have its place, but it shouldn’t be revered as a religion. I don’t mind communist memes, not a fan of ML/authleft memes though. But I’ve had leftymemes blocked since they lied about their rules, so I don’t know how bad it’s gotten.

    Anarchists can't keep posting stuff like this and then try to beat the "bedtime is authoritarian" allegations

    Oh hey it's the guy who banned me for 'homophobia' because I complained about using 'cumrags' instead of 'comrades' in one of his dogshit meme post titles.

    At this point it's the people obsessing over tankies who act like cultists

              Deceptichum is a turbo-lib settler, and PugJesus is a social fascist. That's really it. I can only take solace in the fact that I managed to piss PugJesus off enough to make multiple MWoG posts about me in a single day, rather than responding to me directly.

                  D is well-meaning but blind to anything that goes against their previous understanding. PugJesus is an amateur bourgeois historian obsessed with the Roman empire, and all that obsession entails.

    Literally a WKUK bit

    Lotta anarchist types seem to want to reap the benefits of social labor, but reserve the right to snub it when it personally inconveniences them.

    The characters in that skit are actually more reasonable than the ones in that thread

    "You/we should do this thing for these reasons"
    "No"
    nothing happens, besides the direct consequences of not doing the thing

    This is authoritarianism fr

    Sometimes you need to trace yours steps to where you ideologically ended up.

    I was a social democrat because I thought everyone should have access to education, healthcare, housing and a habitable environment.

    I am a socialist because that model is utterly unsustainable in what is a clear class war.

    But like, what if I don't wanna?

    This is an excellent example of the liberalism at the heart of the attitudes of many so-called anarchists. You can't run a society where the law is opt-in unless we're casting all of these people into effectively a penal colony where there is no law and warlords reign supreme when they opt out (which I think would be inhumane and amount to cruel and unusual punishment).

    Unfortunately for them, democracy does not mean that you get whatever you want, it means following the majority decision. I agree that we shouldn't have government officials imposing unpopular policy on the majority, but if the majority supports a policy for how society should be run, then you can't just go "nah" because that's not how the law works.

      It's funny that Makhno drifted toward what he called platforming and pissed off a bunch of his base for being labeled authoritarian.

      Genuinely, this is just conservative anti-intellectualism. Theory isn't dogma, just like chemistry isn't.

      What do people think science is? No really?

      It's just the study of the observable natural world.

      So what do they mean 'human element'?! Are humans not a part of the natural world?

      Who am I kidding, this is all vibes and no thought.

        To the extent that most people have a philosophy of science, it's just pure Baconian early Western enlightenment tripe, which is predicated on a strong division between experimenter and experiment, or between human and natural world. It's a foundational myth of western civilization.

          It's so strange to me that people can see themselves as separate from the natural world.

          But maybe that's just because my definition of the natural world is just "whatever exists in nature" and my definition of nature is "The universe".

          Like everything is just fundamental particles arranged I'm different ways. So we're all the same shit experiencing life from different angles, right? Or is that reductive?

          But also I might just be weird and sleepy. Lol.

            Basically the core ideas of Monism. Spinoza big basis for this line of philosophical thought.

            I think "the same shit in different configurations" might be a little more accurate, at least when speaking of us compared to other massive bodies like plants or rocks or clouds, but that's probably what you were saying anyway.

    "What if I don't wanna?"

    Negligence is still a form of imposing will on someone imo.

    "I don't wanna wear a mask during COVID." Well, then your actions are imposing the spread of a disease on others.
