    Pretending that there isn’t a spectrum, of governments restricting liberty or expression, isn’t helping anyone.

      What part of “laws are just threats of violence made by the predominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation and the cops are basically an occupying army” do we not understand?

            In a “dismantle unjust hierarchies” sense, sure, but I think states are inevitable when people make a society.

              that is confusing. that sense can very well be communist. would i be wrong to presume you dont really know what are either of them?

                Well “anarchist” can mean a lot of different things depending on the person so I find it more useful to just say what I agree or disagree with.

                  bro, you are commenting in a community called “moretankie196”, of a marxist-leninist instance whose name is inspired in a soviet city. we do care about concepts and definitions.

                  you are very welcome to learn, with us, though :D

                  Exactly, some “anarchists” are just liberals who like to have an edgy/faux-radical flag and symbol (you), while others are communists with ideological differences who are still willing to work with us toward a similar goal.

              In that case you’re holding a belief that goes completely against the ideas implied by the label you use. Yes, there’s always variety of thought in all political fields but this one is an outright contradiction.

              Also, nice Trevor Moore pic.

                I don’t really use the label “anarchist,” as I said I like some laws and I think states are inevitable, the thing about hierarchies is how some (alleged?) anarchists described the principles to me

          Ah, sorry to be a bit brusque in that case!

          Since blahaj and the 'grad are federated, our posts show up in each other’s “all” feed. You can interact with me from blahaj and vice versa because of that federation, but this post is “on” our 196 spinoff.

          Jerboa let’s me choose to sort by “all”, “subscribed”, or “local”. If you want to avoid us in the 'grad, you could choose to sort by local (for you to only see posts from blahaj communities) or by subscribed (to only see posts from any federated community you’ve subscribed to).

          You can also block individual communities and sort by all, but that’s sort of like playing whackamole.

          Or you can choose to see the Lemmygrad stuff with the knowledge that it’s mostly ML. Let me know if there’s anything I can explain!
