      Rigid gun control, organized genocides, military occupation. And of course before that you had native groups just... doing their thing.

    I absolutely love it when people pull up least-effort first-click dictionary definitions and then engage in arguments of semantics with me like I'm a complete smooth brain

    Anarchism is when warlords, communism is when no food, and socialism is when snowflake, SJWs destroyed with facts and logic :expert-shapiro:

    "Ackthsually despite the literal centuries of political thought behind anarchism I, a white middle-class PMC who's just had their fifth mimosa of the day, took two seconds to think of a counter-argument that takes less than 280 characters. Checkmate."

    I would stop being a commie and refer to myself as an anarchist if it meant that I got to be a cowboy 🤠

    Anarchism is actually when you watch The Wild West starring Will Smith.

    The Anarchist Wild West, where most towns were based around or near a US Army fort built to exterminate the Native people and make it save for Capital investment. Very anarchist!
