    It’s also worth pointing out that there are indeed “ML” counterparts to this on Reddit who are sectarian and antagonistic towards anarchists as if they were fight turf wars or something. These attitudes perpetuate each other. We complain about these “anarchists” for good reasons and it’s easy to assume that all self-proclaimed ML’s are having an experience similar to your own if they’re complaining about the same people, but I think a small number of Very Online people make up the bulk of this feuding.

    In reality it’s two groups of liberals yelling at each other about fake internet points, but they use our labels, so guess we gotta deal with that baggage

      Rememering the time the 16 year old head mod of r/genzanarchy "became an ml overnight" and decided to destroy the entire subreddit. very mature slapfight and filling their respective subreddits with sectarianism ensues. Very revolutionary to turn the attention and anger of two leftist factions away from capitalism and toward one another.
