My intention was not to be snarky so apologies if I came off that way!

If you let nazis into the bar, it's a nazi bar.

I find anarchist principles to line up with humanism very well. Capitalism is inherently dehumanising and hierarchical power structures can be too. How we organize ourselves in society is coupled with how we treat each other.

I hope your community is able to stand in solidarity with you and assist you in getting stable housing and food security. I find Food Not Bombs and other similar orgs to be really helpful where I live.

Yes! For anybody reading, even if there aren't any anarchist orgs nearby, anybody can walk up to an unhoused person and ask them what they need. Or at the very least offer to buy them a coffee.

Handing out hand warmers on cold days and gatorade or popsicles on hot days is a small act that can make a big difference.

At the very least, have a chat with our community members who are going through a rough time.

Speaking of imbalance, in the USA, Black and American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people have the highest firearm mortality rates of any racial or ethnic group. The U.S. also ranks at the 92nd percentile of all countries and territories for child and teen firearm mortality.

When I'm sitting at home, I am not living in constant fear of fending off robbers and rapists, or fantasizing about murdering them with a firearm.

A perpetrator with a victim complex.

People are more scared of the boogeyman than the people literally kidnapping folks off the street and sending them to concentration camps merely because they belong to a 3 letter agency with authority.

He's that guy who threw trans people under the bus, brought a neonazi onto his podcast, and didn't call down the national guard after they were deployed on protestors which he has the power to do, right?
