The problem going on here is that all of the terms for LARPers start innocuously, but quickly become dog whistles used to shit on all anarchists under the barest loincloth.
"anarcho-bidenists", "anarchist with reddit characteristics", and "anarcho-liberals" should just mean V**shites who don't organize or vote for Dems, but I constantly see MLs using them for "anarchist criticising AES" on this site.
"Baizou", "Anti-communists", "Western leftists", and "white/American leftists" are also used as a thin cover to be sectarian and dismiss all anarchist thought as colonial and obviously wrong because it's not MList support for non-American countries.
I don't know what to do about any of this, because discouraging any of the words or phrases themselves will just get replaced with identical new sectarian dismissals. I'm getting very tired of this site.
