I think it's just mostly the huge semantic umbrella of the label, similarly to the term "socialist" (or shit, even "marxist" and "communist" these days). like ML, or MLM comes with a stricter set of assumptions, whereas anarchist is a more inclusive term that can range anywhere from generic internet anti-establishment rage to literal antifa supersoldiers holding autonomous communities together with sweat and blood
a good way to filter the nerds out is literally just discard the opinion of anyone who unironically says the terms "tankie" or "anarkiddie". you'll still have people acting sus and complaining about "the anarchists" or "the stalinists" like it's still 1930's Spain but at least they're easier to spot when you're filtering out most of the sludge
anyone not looking to at least attempt left unity and post-struggle session cuddles in this day and age are just in it for the aesthetic and think posting epic political compass memes is the height of leftism
