and the only anarchist LARPer. This sad fact normally doesn't bother me much, but I can't even make friends, let alone date or do anything else social, without feeling like I'm compromising parts of myself. I am always being asked to make concessions, without the same being done for me. It irks me that my want of a less cruel world is seen as too big of an ask for many.
I wish more people cared about life on this planet. I'm as selfish and lazy as they come, but I figured the bare minimum I could do is to try and minimize the violence I inflict on others (human or otherwise) with small acts of "rebellion." I may not have the power to destroy industrial agriculture, but I can at least annoy the meat eaters surrounding me with my sneering disapproval.
Does being an anarchist make you feel lonely in a decidedly un-anarchist world? At times, I am emboldened by a rampant contrarian streak (I like to like things no one else likes), and then, at times, I am left disillusioned by the monumental amount of enemies I have chosen to declare. I could use an anarchist friend. I think we all could. For now, I have raddle. The size of this site's userbase means I'm probably not alone in being alone.

I have better experience with vegans - I know a couple, but, yeah, I know no one IRL who would call themselves "anarchist" - that's ok, I guess, everyone else from my close friends are people that are rolling with me for a long time, and, despite them not calling themselves "anarchists", they views are more often than not are at least similar to mine.
