Twitter thread continued:

Sometimes people will say "You made me an anarchist" and like... buddy, I don't even think it matters that I myself am an anarchist.

And I regret that that sort of "we're fighting the good fight" mentality has allowed some of the worst grifters on the platform to flourish by manipulating people's passions for their own weird petty reasons.

I think what I do has a lot of value, I'm just saying that what I perceive that value to BE is a lot different than what I thought a few years ago.

    Ah I was replying to your previous comment to me, but then I glanced here. I think you are right here. It's not praxis, but I guess I think they can be doing something parallel to praxis if they are also calling to join specific goods orgs. idk if they do that tho. I do know people who joined orgs after having watched similar youtube vids that got them out of liberal ideas. If they will be effective in revolution, i have no idea

      It remains to be seen. Imo watching YouTube videos can be a good start, but without a follow-up community organization that also has some level of labor or volunteer organizing (i.e. not just a book club), it just doesn't add up to much. We can complain and be right, but those actions a theory of organization and change does not make.
