      No? You "anarchists" literally accuse anyone who states a remotely ML opinion of being wumaos who are busy shoveling Uighurs into ovens, and I'm fucking sick of this pity party after you guys start shit. No need to fall in line (we ain't libs) but DON'T. PUNCH. LEFT.

        Holy fucking shit. You're telling me I'm strawmanning while you're saying anarchists are accusing MLs of shoveling Uighurs into ovens. You're telling me not to punch left while you call me a scare quotes anarchist and accusing anarchists of starting shit.

          Real anarchists don't start shit, except in left-only spaces. "anarchists" like you dogpile with the libs then cry about it on left-only spaces

            Are you just assuming what I'm up to or what?

            I'm sure the version of me that exists in your head is a bad person, but I have no psychic powers and the Owl that lives in your head is just you.

              When I say "you" I mean it in the general sense, mainly the people you support. I have no idea what you do outside of my conversation with you or if I've ever encountered you in the original Chapo. But the people you support, online "anarchists" in places like r/anarchism or r/completeanarchy, certainly fit the bill. I will admit, both places have been getting better, or at least appear to be, but it's a consistent pattern where anarchists first agree with capitalist propaganda (like before the coup, where America was manufacturing consent for said coup) only to disagree with their original assessment, around the same time the media feels it's safe to admit that they indeed manufactured consent (like how now the media admits that nothing fucky was going on in Bolivia and that our intervention was completely unjustified - but any attempt to reverse our original actions, of course, would be in the wrong)

                When people on this site criticize anarchists, I assume they're talking about anarchists on this site, not random subreddits on reddit that suck largely because all the cool anarchists left and went to Chapo.
