I apologize for coming off as a agitated. Its hard to read a lot of these comments and not come away feeling that way. I am super happy to hear you are reading and educating yourself, and apologize for interpreting your comment the way I did. It is hard to keep track of who says what and that is where my confusion began.

I agree that socialism/communism is already a leap for people to understand as it breaks away from everything they have ever known, and anarchism is even worse in that regard. My frustration comes from the lack of good faith from most people when arguing in the first place. I can be patient with ignorance. I have a much harder time being patient with arrogance (which ironically ends up making me respond arrogantly). Like I said in another comment, it often feels like arguing with anti-vaccers or MAGAs because they both argue in bad faith and from a place of ignorance. Pair that with seeing it every day in almost every comment thread related to anarchism and it becomes very hard to not become bitter.

This is all to say I appreciate your response and I am sorry for the way I reacted to your comment. You are here in good faith and I let the negativity assume you weren't.

Totally get it! I didn't and don't take any offense, just sort of got caught in the crossfire this time. I don't have many opportunities to talk to sealions, or maybe I am just bad at detecting them. I have no doubt that that would get frustrating.

I know I'm ignorant on this and many other topics, but I'm slowly chipping away at some of the edges. I've seen a lot that feels right in Aism, Sism, and Cism, but they can't ALL be right about everything! I think I would most benefit from a more formal process of thinking about the kind of world I want to see and which ideas might bridge that gap but it's hard to find the time alongside actually living on this stupid rock.

Cheers! LLAP
