Not to be too topical but it was Parenti who dispelled my liberalism. Stop recommending On Authority to anarchists.

Crunchy was a typo of cringey. But I stand by it.
Crunchiest take was "the only consistent anarchism is egoist". The thing that brought me away from anarchism was "the only consistent anarchism is egoist". If you want to be academically consistent then anarchism is fine; if you want to affect the real world it's self-defeating. I grew up and stopped prioritizing feeling smart.
It's not much of a silver lining, but the general bleakness of the world lately finally inspired me to exercise for the first time in months. I wish I was disciplined enough that it didn't take watching innocent masses bleed to get me off my ass but hopefully that comes with the endorphins
Besides here, where do yall get your news? I personally use some mainstream bourgeois sources and try to read them critically, but so much of that just feels like noise.
Yall are still answering your doors?
Yellow Parenti ofc
