[email protected] is moderately active. You also have the solarpunk movement.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

[email protected] is pretty active last I saw.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everyone is an anarchist unless specifically stated otherwise. Also whats raddle

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Raddle is another Lemmy-like "social bookmarking" site, but specifically anarchist-focused and with no federation.

It was founded by a nutcase who thinks we gotta destroy all industry.

Guess he forgot the part about doing no harm to your fellow man, considering that would cause immediate global starvation.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Kind of like The joker, Just add some chaos into the mix or worst Ted Faro (f$#@! TED!)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For what? Nobody takes anarchists seriously

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Real anarchists don’t rant on public forums.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And liberals love saying things that aren't true about things they don't understand.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think ignorance is limited to a particular political ideology

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And yet liberals remain the only major ideological group that often can't define liberalism, much less anarchism, yet they still feel entitled to have opinions on it anyways because this one time they saw a movie where a punk graffitied an A on a wall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know the difference between an anarchist, a communist, and a free-market economy “liberal.”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's great.

How about the other guy?

Your average Vote Blue No Matter Who Dem?

Your average Republican, who should be, in theory, an ideological liberal?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Which other guy? I’m actually not sure what point you’re trying to get to.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you've just forgotten the context of the chain, my guy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I must have. It’s not a very interesting conversation now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm right here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Probably. Thanks, man.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

We're spread pretty uniformly throughout the Lemmyverse. There are active anarchist communities (all /c/anarchism on their respective instances) on lemmy.dbzer0.com, slrpnk.net, lemmy.ml, and hexbear.net.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

In their parents' basements?
