Flippanarchy

I am fully convinced that a small number of users on this instance are here with the intention of making anarchists look bad, the intention to really drive in the nail (one crafted by the enemies of all of the left) that anarchism is the ideology of spoiled, tantrum-throwing children. Because that's how @masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com and a few others like them are behaving. Actual anarchism is not this, of course, but that's why I am so convinced that either these puerile users don't know what real anarchism is, or they do but are only pretending to be anarchists online to "troll" real leftists, be their targets Marxist-Leninist or real anarchists or any other genuine leftist tendency.

Anyone reading these exchanges (even lurking liberals) who have any experience interacting with their fellow humans, can immediately spot who in these threads are speaking in good faith, are interested in learning and understanding the world, interested in presenting valid evidence and reasoning for their beliefs (people like @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net in this particular subthread), versus which other participants in this thread are acting completely, openly, and smugly in bad faith with no interest in either the truth or in learning, let alone any interest in having a real discussion, because they make it clear the only interest they have is "owning" opponents, or since they can't manage that, just being inflammatory and saying things we all know are absurd but are designed to cause upset even when it lays bare their own pathetic ignorance. Trolling, in other words. It is so blatantly obvious who is just here spewing whatever they can with the intent to make people angry. It doesn't have to be reflective of reality, they don't have to even make sense, they just say things in a transparent attempt to shit-fling.

I say let them keep at it, they will wear themselves out eventually, as conniption-having toddlers always do. But also because it is so obvious what they're doing, anyone watching from the sidelines, especially anyone "without a horse in this race" can see that the "tankies" and actual anarchists (like @Nakoichi@hexbear.net), at least in this thread, are the ones who know what they're talking about and have genuine convictions and a dedication to justice. I want to reiterate that (real) anarchists have these positive qualities too, but a select few of the cringe users in this thread like masquenox who claim to be anarchists should not be taken as being even remotely representative of what people who belong to that tendency are like or what they believe. The anarchists I know irl and consider friends and comrades wouldn't be caught dead associating with these tantrum-throwing, "tankie-hating" children.

You're a reactionary cosplaying as a leftist - just like your tankie friends over here.
