all of these anarchist flavors are a form of relativism where all that matters is people's individual feelings.
it's a form of solipsism when you start asking questions about it.
and when you draw it out, it inevitable leads to consequences that totally contradict it's tenants. but anarchists... don't do that... they just feel the feelings, man.
anarchism is great if you never think, but some flavors of it regard thinking as an undue burden foist upon people by a unjust society.... hence why you are getting these absurd answer about how gravity is unjust and cruel. I suppose they also regard having to eat/drink/breathe as injustices that 'society' forces upon us.
My experience with anarchists, limted though it is, their hearts are in the right place, they know what sides they are not on, but do not neccessarily know a lot outside of their doctrine. But they will fight.
So better than most all. Knowing what side you are NOT on is becoming rarer.
most people don't care about sides. they just care about money.
and rightfully so. your theory or political stance can't buy you food or a car or other basic necessities.
Caring about money is taking a side though
nobody doesn't care about money. anyone who says they don't is a liar and are usually the people who are the most easily bought.
You must care about money in a capitalist world, of course; the real question is do you want money to matter all the time or not
it doesn't matter what you want, society dictates the rules.
unless you go off the grid or something. then you can go make your perfect society, because there won't be one.
Society isn't fate. It doesn't come out of nothing. Accepting/keeping the status quo is accepting the balance that exists, and it's been going right for a dong time.
It's not just about what you can or can't do, it's about where you're pushing to
