Yeah that is what this meme is about lol, I'm so tired of seeing "Anarchists" on lemmy come out with these lib positions while screaming and whining about "tankies"
I'm also on an instance without downvotes enabled lol I expect this to go into the negatives
Wouldnt a true anarchist explicitly NOT do nothing? Theyd actively (keyword: actively) do what they could to resist, no?
Voting is doing nothing
So is not voting AND doing nothing else...
Ok so you are a liberal with the positions on the left.
Eh? What?
Putting ideology ("voting legitimizes the illegitimate authority") over pragmatism is goofy IMO. Like, whether you view the state as legitimate or not, in the here-and-now it exists and has power, giving up your influence because you don't like it is counterproductive.
Also this post reeks of Sovereign Citizen nonsense, "I do not consent to being ruled" okay well you are, might as well have a say in the rules.
What do those chad anarchists do instead?
Believe in the core principles of Anarchism and not holding liberal positions. I know you think you got a gotcha there but I don't think any liberal settler in the imperial core can do anything, you're all useless
You assumed wrong. Not a core person.
Do tell me your level of uselessness, please?
I was actually asking tho. True that it was partly with mistrust, but partly wanting to know too
Your response doesn't follow.
You asked what those chad anarchists do, the answer is what they are doing is believing in the core principles of Anarchism. The things on the left are all things bourgeois liberals believe and the one on the left is Anarchist statements from people like Bakunin
I can't answer your question in a lemmy comment. Read Settlers https://readsettlers.org/
Actual anarchist: Does nothing

You were actually supposed to call me a tankie ๐
I can call you a tankie dear
By not participating you helped elect Trump and put my trans ass under the bus
I'm not allowed to participate in American elections, and the elections in America are fixed no matter what you do sorry to be the one to break it to you but you don't live in a democracy. It is ironic you moderate a lemmy forum about Anarchy and don't understand any of its core principles or positions on voting. You are the person on the left.
The anarchy forum makes EVERYONE who subscribes a moderator
I wouldn't know ๐คทโโ๏ธ
You're just mad that you weren't able to throw Palestine under the bus to save your own ass, you don't actually give a shit about anyone but yourself
