      Anarchism is when there are people in the streets who do not uphold the veneer of normalcy in a decaying capitalist hellscape, and the more they disillusion me, the more anarchisty-er they are

      Anarchism is when property gets damaged illegally. The more property gets damaged illegally, the more anarchist it is.

    How do y'all anarchists deal with it? Like, when someone talks about "communists" or even tankies, there's a vague understanding of what the word means. Meanwhile people in reddit posts are calling ancaps a flavor of anarchism and it's like :agony-consuming:

      depending on the year?

      ignoring literally everything libs say, not bothering to even talk in their direction unless its shade

      spending so much time on direct action I never meet any libs who arent unhoused or sex workers and not willing to criticize the projject or its motivations

      "god i wish killing you were praxis, but even your death is going to be meaningless."

      remembering that libs aren't really people. they're ghosts of cognitive dissonance, the blast shadows of capitalism stained forever ash on concrete. no point in talking to ghosts unless they're useful.

      using talking to libs as self harm because theres a plague on and i don't want to leave my wrist blood everywhere in case im asymtomatically infected.

    Highlights from the comments

    [The anarchists/antifa are] mainly just white assholes pushing black people out of the way for their own temper tantrums.

    Ah yes, Portlanders: famed for having a moral high ground on... black people getting displaced by white people?

    They're both ruining our cause

    "our cause" ahahahah I'm dying

    but like many Portlanders I'd describe myself as both leftist* & anti-fascist**

    *liberal **anti-black

    I got accused by some white anarchists of being a white supremacist myself (I'm African) because I said that antifa And anarchists are irrational

    Narrator: they are white

    [Antifa/the anarchists are] just adding ammo to the Republican media machine

    oh no! anyways...

    I support BLM, but

    Blue man is in office time for everyone to be quiet and politics to go away. This was almost exactly the kind of response I was getting from shitlibs when I was going to the Occupy stuff. Eyerolls. "Why?" etc.

      I think the post got deleted, but not to worry. A 7-day-old account also posted a similar rant crying about broken windows and begging it to stop.

      People trashed the local dem hq and now liberals are finally realizing that leftists are a whole different team.

      After a bunch of people thought it was a pro-Trump false flag, that is.

    i thought it was gonna be a post about how the antifas smashed up their favorite starbucks window or something but it's literally just being mad about banners like you don't have to see massive billboards for personal injury lawyers and cash for gold scams and christian anti-abortion propaganda everywhere you go in any major city in america
