Anarchy means you don't force your way of life on anyone. You don't oppress or rule anyone.
Anarchy doesn't mean you genocide everyone that disagrees with you.
I'm sick of having to explain this to basic ass ancoms every single day of my life.
Any anarchism that doesn't include a critique of THE AUTHORITY that is civilization can't be taken seriously. If you're going to call yourself an anarchist while ignoring the biggest, most totalitarian and destructive authority of them all, while accusing people that do think about that authority of being fascists and genociders then what's the point of even speaking to reds? Their politics are shit. Completely shit. They're honest-to-god reactionaries who refuses to see past the safe little walls they've built for themselves in that sterile little urban bubble that keeps the dirt off their shiny shoes.
Anarchists do not force people to live the way they live. Anarchists do not steal people's wheelchairs or take away their HRT or whatever the fuck reactionary strawman you've been fed. Anarchists who recognize the MASS EXTINCTION AKA GENOCIDE that civilization has caused, are not "ecofascist genociders".

I am pretty sure the anti-civ folks I'm interacting with round here would totally come together in the spirit of mutual aid and help my disabled trans family survive and maybe we'll synthesize our own hormones from yams :)
Well, I mean. I remain hopeful!
I've always hated our civilization - I used to hate it in way more unexamined, colonial, ableist, problematic ways. Now I know how to hate it better XD - because I've grown as a person, and learned, and good anti-civ stuff has been part of that.
