I don’t wanna. Debates are pointless and they’re not smart enough to process anything I say, so I just say “yeah that sucks” and try and change topics.

Got my friends to agree that this war is awful and was entirely preventable.
But they still think that civilians taking up arms against a trained military is based and heroic and not just suicidal, and told me that they would absolutely join up with Nazis to fight for America if it was invaded.
They call themselves anarchists.
It's funny you say that, it is what happened with Ukrainian anarchists too.
This is a long piece by some Ukrainian anarchists that discusses the direction their movement took and how many of the Ukrainian anarchists ended up joining the nazi militias.
Very worthwhile read.
this is a really cool read, thank you for sharing
Welcome! Very important that movements think about this kind of things and consider how to avoid it in future. There must be a way to minimise this kind of thing.
One thing they could've made clearer though is that during Maidan and later the right, the Nazis and parts of the center used physical violence to cut down any larger organized anarchist form. Which means anarchist groups had to fear more and more violence. If you try to fight at some place having multiple enemies which are better equipped and have larger groups is quite dangerous.
So material takes on why the stuff developed like this ought to be kept in mind.
i'd rather serve crack
