      No, for you see, the opinions of anarchists are entirely comprised of posters on CompleteAnarchy

      Anarchists in real life are pretty based. Online "anarchists" (Mostly state operatives and kids that deepthroat their boots) though, think we need to send in the nukes lmao

        Anarchists and Tankies are pretty chill IRL. Internet is the problem.

          Bruh, historically, anarchists and tankies have resolved their differences with civil wars

      Yeah, the problem IMO is that commercial social media platforms are designed to give a small set of people outsizes voices - particularly Twitter. So instead of having horizontal affinity groups you end up with massive social media influencers with millions of followers calling themselves things like "anarchists" despite the massive and unbalanced social hierarchy in place. Not to dumb things down to the level of "oh you say you have a disdain for hierarchy, and yet you're popular? Curious." but it definitely lets a handful of people anchor the discussion one way or the other.
