I don't think that there are many cases where having the politics would worsen your life.

You'll see sometimes people say that they wish that they had remained ignorant centrists and never been exposed to how terrible the world is. I don't know how to speak for those people. They are not anarchists in a way that I understand, if they are anarchists at all. Even the most destroyed of those who I am in affinity with, who have experienced mind-rending horror at the hands of this world, still choose anarchy, because they value living in a real way more than anything. When you live in a real way, you can feel jouissance, your emotions and world are real. When you live compromise, nothing is real or worth anything, imo.
In short, if you are doing it right, I think it can only make your life better. Even if you are killed or chose to die.

I hope that makes some sense. I'm not sure what kinds of ways I should elaborate. If you had specific examples I could try to relate to those.

I do think anarchy has made life worse for some anarchists. Care in point people who are serving long prison sentences for things such as arson. They would have been far better off not doing the arson, so they could have had more freedomn from life and not be separated from their children and lived ones for many years.

But overall I agree with what u said. Anarchy has made my life way better despite the many challenges.
