  • Sorry for the snark, seeing how you seem to be a person, lemme answer more like a person too

    First, and most importantly, I think no one should police the way people speak, as long as no harm is done with that speech. Let them express themselves

    But also, while less important, “confusing” is just a very normal criticism to make for date formats. Even if they “literally just disagree”, the reason they disagree could very well be the fact that other formats are confusing!

    But yeah, this is all less important than it seems, you just set up some really low hanging fruit for me with that comment, no hard feelings

    Have a nice day!

    I see how you could read a version of this post that wasn’t mean spirited, as you describe.

    But this specific post, doesn’t do that good-will commentary that you describe.

    They’re not pet-baby-anarchists, they’re pet anarchists.

    The examples it’s using, are not the real problems one has, when first starting to get out of authoritarianism (inner cops we all have in us), they’re fucking production problems, which are

    trivially

    easy to answer and reconstruct in good faith, it just takes time to explain, because we live in nested systems of violence, and have been bullied to think that that’s reality.

    This post relies on you assuming:

    decentralized production is stupid,

    in order to, by extension, say that

    anarchists are stupid.

    In this way, anyone who has suspicions about one of the two maybe being true, can be convinced that both are true.

    Textbook fascistic propaganda methods, literally out of Nazi Minister of Propaganda’s playbook.

    Sorry, but in the interest of being brief, I’d say you’re being victim-blamey. I bet your intentions are good, but we’re taught to think in this toxic way:

    “If all anarchists had good takes, {others wouldn’t attack them}.”

    “If baby anarchists never spoke until fully fledged, [we wouldn’t have this problem].”

    “If she didn’t buy a taser and get self defense training, <she shouldn’t dress like that>.”

    Yeah, no. When someone attacks, keep your attention on the attacker.
