Why do I need to oppose every affinity group that is not mine, or why can't I federate with affinity groups I am mutal oppose other groups? Or is that really just all because we apply different definitions to what federation means?

The latter is most likely the problem in this scenario. Nothing wrong with federating, just "a federation". Connecting tactically and building societal conditions is a welcome deal. The fact that there is a concerted effort to have similar definitions, aspirations & struggles is a really good idea, infighting is how societies come into being in the first place. Discourse like ours cannot exist without first entering into our society.

Infighting produces Cultures that represent the topics of the in-group and recognizes thusly rather than cancelling people outright, the ability to sustain a Culture War is the primary responsibility of a society, to confine it within.

Thus lies the problem of Federations. It produces an agreed upon Hegemony from a Central Authority, not only is it oppressive but it is lazy. Hegemony is the work of Federations which is why we consider it evil. u/Ziq was correct in their assertions, uniting opposing groups via hegemony is not what Anarchism nor what Raddle is. It is an insult.

I mean, if I follow the definition of federation that you apply, I agree with you. It's just that I use the same word, also for a different definition. I'll remember that, if I come up with such a topic next time.

I have trouble to understand you here. Could you rephrase it?

What makes a society and sustains culture is constant struggle from within using agreed upon terms and definitions as well as traditions that exist within the society. Infighting, which is a thing which textbook federalism see as evil, in this case is a good thing.

Why is struggle and fighting good for society?

It defines it. Society is defined by internal culture war which maintains a balance of views defined by it's own terms. To win would mean hegemony, to loose would mean extinction.
