Another cringey thing. So all my politics are cringe probs and I've gone through many changes over the years (I was once borderline fascist and basically a racist pos when I first started to form my own political thinkings) though each change mostly tends to be more anarchic until I am where I am now.

Well for a time I was literally that meme You've seen floating around here, the one with a bunch of frat looking dudes explaining how anarchism is basically just direct democracy? I was that frat looking dude. and I would get like physically upset when people would equate anarchy to destruction. I remember once getting mad at someone for coming to that conclusion and stating, "No, anarchism is a legitimate political identity" and then I was all like condescending and shit about it. I was a hardcore Chomskyite (yikes!) and basically being anti-american was my sole political identity.

Funny enough I became more anarchic when I began to realize (after reading huge amounts of Chomsky) that Chomsky really talks very little about what anarchy actually is, even in his like single work that is supposed to be about anarchy is just rehashing the things he says over and over again about whatever imperialism he is mad about and whatever commie state he loves.

Then I became a anarcho-pacifist (yikes!) and was a Christian Anarchist (double yikes!!) and yes if there are any anarcho-pacifist here your views are cringe. I don't even feel bad saying it. But also in reality I basically am an anarcho-pacifist because I am a giant chicken.
