    I've known sooo many irl anarchists up over the years, and not a single one of them ever had a take as shitty as this.

    Or at least not past the year they turned like 17.

        Oh yeah, I'm sure they exist here and there, but they're obviously not representative of the anarchist movement as a whole. That's really all I'm saying.

        And I'm thinking it also has a lot to do with where you are. Some places have anarchist traditions going back decades, and other places saw their first anarchists just a couple years ago or whatever. That definitely has to make a difference, you know?

        The so-called "anarchists" I've known offline that have takes like this are closer to bandits than they are anarchists in my opinion. They tend to be less interested in creating an actually functioning society and more interested in simply ending any and all use of power in any form so that they can do whatever they want. They tend to have very few lines that they won't cross and were all sex pests.

        I don't like lumping them in with anarchists at all. They were all fringe orbiters more interested in the crimes they could commit with the moral backing of anarchist beliefs than anarchy itself.
