Yeah. Lots of "Look what this 'Anarchist' said." linking to incredibly dumb self-centered people on Twitter as if they were king of the Anarchists or something. There are a lot of dumb takes on Twitter. Lots of people who never opened a book in their life but decide they're a "socialist" or an "anarchist" because in our decrepit and worthless political system those are the only groups talking about issues of significance. Lots of baby (in the new sense) social democrats who are upset about the declining standard of living in the US but can't wrap their heads around the idea that imperialism or the world-economy has anything to do with it.

We should point out these bad takes and mock them like we always have, but we should be mocking the people responsible for these bad takes, not slapping them on entire groups of comrades who did nothing wrong. When kings had to deal with peasant revolts, they looked out for one another. Even when they were sworn enemies, they understood their power vis-à-vis their subjects relied on solidarity and mutual support in times of crisis. When the capitalists have to deal with riots and uprisings, you will never find a more tightly knit group of comrades, despite the fact that they are ordinarily in brutal competition with one another to monopolize the world. Why the fuck are we tearing each other down over fucking twitter takes? Come on, now.

If someone comes on here and does an imperialism, roast 'em. But let's not do this shit where we dig through the gutter of the internet in search of the worst takes possible and attribute them to our comrades.

Could you please get off your armchair and shout that from a mountaintop?

Thanks.

Eh it's not a lot but I've seen a few people harping on the "concentration camps with millions of uighurs" and other Zenzpilled stuff. Just anecdotal tho
