isn’t that what you were just doing by claiming that I have “allegiances and actions” that leave much to be desired by “many other anarchists”
turnabout is fair play, and the extent of my ‘actions’ and ‘allegiances’ that you claim “anarchists” disapprove of is entirely limited to posts on the Internet and thoughts in my head.
Exactly, that’s the only thing I have to go with, and fact of the matter is all I see you doing is allying in bullying other anarchists alongside with tankies. Likewise, all you have to go for is me making an anarchist meme, then defending myself against a bullying attempt and the usual ugliness this leads to. And note that my phrasing was very exact. “Much to be desired by other anarchists like me”. I.e. I don’t mean I’m better than you, or that you’re not a good anarchist, I’m just disappointed and wary.
Other anarchists participating in anticommunist snark comms and towing the line on that front dissappoints and leaves me wary too, hence my mockery of this particular situation.
I pointed out that I’m actually active as an anarchist in the real world because people routinely claim that I am something else. If you read that as claiming superiority then I read your reading as projection.
Yes, It does come as smug superiority when you go all “I work in actual real life orgs, I don’t just post anticommunist snark online like you.” How do you not see that? Do you see me flexing up my anarchist creds in this discussion?
I am disappointed in you because you are directly allying with non-anarchists to bully anarchists for their anarchist views (and because you chose to shame the disengage rule in the process). You are disappointed in me because I make fun of non-anarchist movements. I am happy that your scene has MLs that are collaborative with anarchists, but why is it so hard to not accept that other anarchists have different experiences than you?
It’s not, I’m used to it. I’m not a fan of getting told I’m something other than what I am simply because of people’s perception of me.
You think I’m “allying with” people because I don’t feel comfortable being around anticommunists and made fun of the situation here.
I’m fine with the disengage rule, Im glad you are less aggressive at censorship than the rest of them, but I still found the behavior of baiting then disenaging something to make light of. I’m not going to tell you how to run your space.
Again I take your reading of me listing my experience as superiority as too sensitive. I get exasperated when I express something unorthodox and I get called a red fascist. In response I state my personal experience in organizing as an anarchist, to point out that making declaration about who is and isn’t anarchist based on internet comments is silly.
I don’t think posting anticommunism in the middle of widespread actual fascism is a good use of time, but I’m not going to say the people doing it aren’t anarchists or are secretly fascists. The worst I might say for that is terminally online and misguided.
