People asking to "give back to society" piss me off

Submitted by SnowCode in Anarchism (edited )

I was on Reddit (what a fucking mistake lol) on r/IamA and found the thread about someone that squatted a Russian oligarch mansion in London.

Many comments (with sometimes thousands of upvotes and many awards) were saying he was just a piece of shit that had the pretension to know what's right or wrong.

Others saying he should give back to society instead of "leeching" by getting a real job and all.

I feel like most anti-anarchists comments are either "it will never work / there will never be a global revolution" (to which I would answer "yes and read desert") or "you're an horrible immoral/edgy/shitty person // you think you're above the law"

Tell me if you think about other classic anti-anarchist comments.

Similarly annoyed with "just vote, it only takes like 15 minutes".

Like I owe anyone my vote, as a sacred duty. A statist prayer, a self-reduction to number. How insulting. Worse to have that pushed by anarchists.

When that happens to me, I offer to sell them my vote. It's the most valuable thing in the world, yet when I offer to vote for them for the price of a doner kebab, I only get an uncomfortable shuffle.
