      Its a libertarian thing where mutual aid is like, everyone individually chooses to aid instead of the FUCKING GOVERNMENT TYRANNY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FORCING US TO.

      What do these people think mutual aid is?

      Red charity? Gofundme but with socialist characteristics? Neanderthal shaman magic involving making a hole in your skull with a pick shaped rock to let the bad spirits out?

      I thought libs using the word tankie was bad enough but libs pretending to be anarchists is starting to annoy me a hell of a lot more. Makes real anarchists look bad.

          Nah I don’t believe so, anarkiddy has been around for at least a few years before any libs heard the word tankie. Think it came from just general sectarianism, as far as I know.

    Ugh I keep seeing her videos getting recommended to me. They all have that same 2016 anti-sjw feel to them just by looking at the thumbnail

      Popularity and whether or not your story is sad enough to be viral should be what determine worthiness in life or death

        Mutual aid = woke

        Fuck M4A = Ancap

        Hence, woke ancap

        And "woke" hasn't been a black culture exclusive term since 2014, of course if you actually knew any black people you'd know that

            After anarchists decided to teach libs words, it's become the "woke" version of saying charity and NGO

    Not about to read the thread, but I'll note that the kind of mutual aid society that provided workers with healthcare in the early 20th century are basically illegal now — they have to comply with the regulatory requirements of insurance companies.

    That has good and bad sides. It raises costs and barriers to entry, but it does make it less likely someone is just going to run off with your premiums or that they flat out won't be able to pay for your healthcare. There are a few of them left today, but they're basically nonprofit insurance companies the way credit unions are nonprofit banks.
