Anti-anarchists sometimes like to accuse "anarchists" of having terrible opinions, and then if you're like "I'm an anarchist and that's not true" they say "Oh, I mean internet anarchists."
I've seen some of you mirroring this rhetoric and complaining about "internet anarchists." This is playing into anti-anarchist rhetoric that discredits anarchism and divides the movement. You don't have to prove you're one of the good ones.
We used to call those people "baby anarchists." They weren't pretenders who we had to distance ourselves from, they were uneducated people who needed some pointers on things like cooption, anti-imperialism, lesser evilism and the non-profit industrial complex.
Don't distance yourself from internet anarchists, educate baby anarchists.
I certainly don’t think “everything is CIA”, and I’ve had plenty of wrong/bad opinions myself, so I get that there are real people out who fit what OP is describing. I’m just saying that it is well known that powerful interests use various means to try to shape online discourse their direction, whether it’s the CIA, FBI, police departments/unions, corporations, political groups, etc. In particular, when there’s a clear narrative being pushed from multiple places and especially from “influencers”, it’s worth considering that there might be more behind it than just bad opinions, even if there are also many real bad opinions out there.
