As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit

    As a former anarchist, the western anarchist movement had a bit of a weird liberal undercurrent for a while. I knew people who were pretty solid comrades in most regards, did really good local activism, but whenever discussion left the US borders things got... weird. There was always weird takes on AES states and US foreign policy. I never knew an anarchist back then who was straight up PRO-Iraq War but I knew a few who were gun-shy about coming out fully anti-war cuz they didn't want to come of as "Saddam apologists". Hence the rise of NATO-anrchists didn't really surprise me as much as some people.

      You think if it originated more in the context of the Global South, that Anarchism would be less 'libby' and more better on political views

      I mean, it's still prbly gonna ultra-left but come on....

        I've only encountered a handful but yeah I would say non-western anarchists tend to have better perspectives on geopolitics.

        The ones in the global south are more or less the same. Find leftists in AES countries doing CIA work and you’ll find Anarchists. Didn’t Pussy Riot claim to be Anarchists?
