well for one, I think ziq's questions were sarcastic... but very honourable that you went ahead and answered them whole-heartedly! and secondly if your intention is to share knowledge with newcomers, you'll want to give them a wide range of sources and voices beyond just your own. explaining anarchy to someone interested in anarchy puts you in a very sensitive position.... if they get off on the wrong foot...

I responded via the livestream, but I’ll also respond here:

  1. I addressed this before answering ziq’s questions… long story short is that even when someone asks a sarcastic question, it’s a good idea to use your opportunity to respond to say something you want to say instead of getting hooked into their bullshit.

  2. also long story short, I’ve been trying to get other anarchists involved in doing youtube shit for at least 6 years now and it hasn’t. happened. I’m sure you could guess why anarchists may not be excited to do youtube stuff. I’m sick of waiting around.

Also, because of the lack of anarchist presence on livestream platforms, people are now getting their education in anarchy from marxists at best… and that’s at best. So it may not be ideal to get just one anarchist’s perspective, but it’s sure better than getting a Marxist’s.
