Then don't place trust in anonymous internet commenters. I don't need the grief of being put on some pedestal where I need to meet someone else's expectations of what an anarchist is meant to be. I'm no one's leader. I'm just an isolated hermit that spends their days breathing in toxic chemicals in a warehouse to earn a living, with no human friends, who's perpetually pissed off at capitalist industrialist colonialist civilization.

And btw defasher did nothing wrong. Talking back to transhumanists isn't abusive and it's no different than what I've always done and continue to do with my 'real' account (ha). You can make a solid argument that chomskyist was 'abusive' since it was a strawman designed to mock transhumanists, but since the other transhumanists (except you) egged chomskyist on and agreed with what it said, even when it was ridiculously liberal... maybe I really was presenting anarcho-techno-fetishism for what it actually is by holding a mirror up to it.

I'd argue chomskyist opened your eyes to the failings of transhumanism and thus served its purpose.

Defasher tho was just me being me. You might not have agreed with my politics, but there's nothing abusive about anything I said. I honestly think you just didn't like being talked back to and being forced to re-examine your identity by an arrogant asshole. But you did it anyway, and unlike the others who continue to rage, you're better for it now. Whether I could have changed your mind without the arrogance idk. I doubt you would have paid any attention to me if I weren't so abrasive.

And the rich white kids with utterly whack 'politics' that continue to devolve even further into liberalism as I type were never going to be anarchists anyway.

You were the person the whole show was for.
