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.
Of course! My irritation isn't with the fact that these people are doing 'freelance' propaganda.
My irritation is with the fact that they so very often refuse to take a step back, do some meta-analysis, read some actual theory, and because of that, do whiplash turns against their supposed online communities. They post and post and post and get burned out and then post more to complain about being burned out. It's like, 'Oh, you feel alienated from a revolutionary movement? Damn, if only there wasn't volumes of literature written about that by people who actually ended up doing revolutions' But they don't want to read, they want to post. Reading is for nerds. Nevermind that you can do both.
Agreed, is basically just a failure on their part to see their role. A symptom of not reading enough theory or not being in close enough proximity to real movements
