    In my experience every anarchist I've met irl has been super cool, very on board with left unity. But for some reason there's so many online "anarchist" that are just fucking dumb (looking at you Vaush). I've also seen people putting lib unity (as in libertarians/anarchists) before left unity, which just makes me think they have no real values

      "Libertarian unity" is not a real concept. Literally nobody in real life supports that, it's an AnCap fantasy.

        I know, that's why it's so bizarre to me that I've seen people who call themselves anarchists wanting to unite with libertarians

          Irl anarchists and internet anarchists are not the same. All the anarchist groups in my area actively participate in labor organizing and tenant organizing. They know you need to get people organized if you want to accomplish anything.

      When people organize in person they just have to do the thing they're there for. Its not a matter of ideology. Though that's not to say when they go home they don't have shit views. I've organized with plenty of people who are cool and then i see them post the most lib shit online. I think libsoc ideology like dsa and anarchism (broadly speaking) is probably the prevailing leftist ideology in the US, tho i think its more of a surface level ideology for people who have only recently been involved with the left. Not to say anarchism or libertarian socialism itself is that, just people gravitate towards those groups because they're the most easily accessible and so you'll see a lot of very lib shit come from it overall in spaces like reddit, twitter, facebook, discord, etc.
