I seriously don’t think most people have any idea how to emotionally support men. Hiding in bed and gave up on reaching out to anyone bc they never seem to understand what i’m asking for. I hope it’s not like this for everyone. Maybe it’s just america. Maybe it’s guess culture people. Idk. Right now it’s just me and my stuffed pig and hope sandoval against the Dread and the Big Sad and frankly we’re kinda outnumbered.

Word. ER has a ton of features to make the game easier for folks who want them. Hell, i’m one of those features, i’ve got my summon sign down to help with bosses all the time.

Thank you for taking the time to write it out. It gives me a lot to think about and some leads to pursue. I’ve only just run in to the concept of evolutionary Anarchism and it sounds like something worth looking in to the try to understand where current thought lies.

Can you talk about where the idea that, idk, Anarchists aren’t allowed to fight against their oppressors comes from? That’s one I’ve really never understood. My conception of Anarchism involves a whole lot of honest to god warfare and it seems like a lot of the twitter Anarchist crowd view any offensive action as unacceptable. It’s something I really struggle to make sense of.

From admittedly limited interactions it seems like a lot of reddit and twitter anarchists are firmly anti-revolutionary, viewing anything like revolutionary violence as oppression and authoritarian and I don’t understand how they came to that view. And my attempts to get some kind of explanation directly have mostly failed. I suspect we’re not using language the same way and I don’t know what questions to ask.

Good point. I’ve been known to scream “Do you want to be pure or do you want to win?” at people and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to one of the times I’ve seen this article over the years.

Reading through the mod log I saw a “I am very far left and a socialist and I hate tankies because they’re authoritarian dictator worshipers” and I would love to don a cunning disguise and pick that person’s brain regarding just what socialist tendency they’re part of that isn’t authoritarian and doesn’t have dictators and exists in the real world.

The list of people whose socialist, anarchist, and communist politics have been written out of history is enormous. One that strikes me has always been Helen Keller. She was a noted and popular speaker in the early 20th century, but when she began speaking authoritatively about leftist struggle she was blacklisted from media and the story that gets told in schools - a story mostly about the teacher she worked with to develop speech and communication methods suitable for her disabilities - began to be shaped.

Have the Blahaj admins made any statements about why this is tolerated? I know Hexbear is almost uniquely vigilant but idk why they’d allow it.

Like many of the people who fell in to bernie’s orbit she’s been busy revealing that she’s completely unprincipled trash who believes in nothing but the almighty dollar.
