they never seem to say where the line is between justified hierarchy and unjustified hierarchy, which makes me think that maybe they actually have no idea what they're talking about.

Reply to anarcho-democrats IRL by ziq
i mean if you define democracy as freedom of action like some anarchists do then anarchism is by definition democratic, but like, that's not what democracy is, and democracy as a whole requires the existence of a government.
Anarchism provides more freedom than your standard direct democracy ever could because it removes the tyranny of the majority.

At least they don't push the "left unity with no exceptions, even for the most egregious tankies" narrative

Reply to comment by zorblax in Hi All! I've been wanting to see what the options out there are for non-problematic insults. What you got? by An_Old_Big_Tree
I generally think with terms like that, it's more of a warning to be careful using it. So a term like "lame" might be okay to use in like 99% of online discourse, but you have to be understanding if you hit the 1%, whereas a term like "f*g" will probably be problematic in effectively all contexts.
Or at least that's how I understand it. Imo, it's not that you should never call something "lame" or "dumb" in a disparaging way, but rather that you should understand that that usage has a problematic origin, even if it's almost guaranteed not to offend people, and that you should just be careful.

It's also used to denote something as unpleasant or as corrupted from its origin (though the latter is often changed to "bastardized").
Nowadays it doesn't usually have the connotations of a derogatory term for children born out of wedlock, but I'm not sure about that.

yup, absolutely, no need to rethink colonialism and call israel out for their war crimes, just pretend none of that ever happened. look! it's a gay sitcom!
liberal identity politics are stupid because they ignore the root of every issue they claim to care about.

ah yes that really makes me want to directly support the bombing of middle eastern children, because i personally won't be killed.

Reply to This person doesn't understand how the spectacle works. If people aren't divided culturally, how will the rich distract us while they loot everything? by ziq
no guns
That's a bit of a lib position but fair deal considering the rest of it
no police
fuck yeah
no statues
oh no we don't get to glorify a bunch of dead racists
no genders
who needs 'em? be who you want to be and don't let gender roles stop you
no flags
assuming she's talking about american flags, yuck. she can keep them.
no men
a bit nonsensical but if there's no gender anyways then it doesn't change much
no electricity
here lies the biggest question: would we rather get rid of police and traditional views of gender, or would we rather be able to shitpost and use guns? it's a tough one, but i think i'll go with the first.
Personally, I think it's a good deal and we should take Candace up on her offer.

Reply to Sequence of understanding by ziq
i think the issue is that our conception of "chaos" and "order" is the binary of "people killing each other and gangs and mad max" or "modern neoliberal society", when we could be doing much better by realizing that order isn't a meaningful goal and chaos doesn't mean complete lack of everything you love, just lack of enforced structure.
