anarchism
Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

I think you forgot some stuff:

Yet somehow if it was a white man in a nice house (which btw he lives in a polycule IIRC, i.e. he's not that well off and he's sharing his house with a few people) telling you things you wanted to hear about socialism, you'd eat it right up. I somehow believe you object to the message and not the messenger.

Because by that point you had already been super rude and they had given up on convincing you.

I could say the same thing about you. I'm not gonna say those things because I know you're fighting for liberation in the best way you know how, but I could say that.
Also from what you posted:
An uncharitable person would say that this is anti-anarchist slander. A charitable person would say you're uninformed.
Yeah that's really gonna help patch things up.
Were my comrades over on db0 all super supportive and free from attitude? Absolutely not. Understandable that you'd yell at them. But to then bring that attitude over here? Not cool.
Wait what does living in a polycule have to do with not being a trust fund kid. I know some disorganized tech- and academia-adjascent leftists that all live in a "commune" (a very expensive Craftsman house in that they bought in a hip neighborhood) do I need to consider them to be poor now?
I was arguing against Anark being a rich kid solely from his demeanor and the part of his home you could see from his camera, which I think Jabril is pulling from. Like he probably lives in a decent house because he's in a polycule, i.e. lots of people living together in a shared space, so the whole polycule can afford a bigger house by pooling their resources.
He could very well be a trust fund kid, I dunno 🤷
No lol polycules and roommates can be poor, but they're probably saving some money over living in separate houses, so they might not individually be as wealthy as their house otherwise implies.
Polycules are romantic relationships so if anything they will explain cohabitation despite being a trust fund kid. It's also not coincidental that lefty cult leaders are often (1) personally wealthy and (2) live on the compound with their harem, though I don't know it care enough to figure out if this particular grifter is also abusive. I don't know actually anything about this person except that they put a lot of effort into a basic aesthetic, their way of speaking and presenting themselves, and that they make poorly thought out bad faith left punching videos, but the logic around living with a polycule just doesn't make sense.
If you have ever been poor you can see the show being put on. If you've organized in left spaces you've encountered the loud ignorant white boy sectarian, and certainly those who place aesthetic over substance.
I didn't forget those things, I didn't include them because they weren't relevant. You accused me of
and I showed how my initial approach was indeed not anything close to that. you made something up to justify your preconceived opinion because you have to do so in order to stick to your ideological convictions. this is liberalism, based in idealistic nonsense. how I behaved beyond those points felt like an appropriate shift in demeanor in response to the way the other posters responded to me
No you didn't
You brought up the drama. I would've kept my mouth shut if you just dunked on the video and left it there. You decided to tie it back to the drama on db0. I even waited a few days to post it here in the hopes that the drama would die down.
🧱 Not gonna budge until you stop being shitty to anarchists. Literally not even a single inch.
like even this, why is it always some stretch of reality? I posted on that other thread in the last 24 hours.
I know you aren't going to budge, as I've said elsewhere, I have spent literally years organizing with anarchists. over the whole period with hundreds of them, working together for thousands of hours. I know anarchists won't budge because the commitment to self interest is greater than that to the collective. plenty of anarchists move through that phase as they get educated but I know that many won't because it means they have to put other people before their own interests. this is why it is inherently bourgeois
I misremembered, it was a day, and since you're not the center of the fucking universe, I wasn't paying attention to your particular drama, I just knew that there was drama, and hopefully it would be cool to post it, I even tried not to crosspost it, but I guess PieFed fucked me over there.
No, you misunderstood. It's not that I'm not gonna budge with respect to MLs, it's "I'm not gonna budge for you, personally, Jabril." And not just ideologically, but fractally, at all levels of zoom, I'm not budging until you treat me like a human being.
Nope. You've dressed it in ideological language, but almost everything you have said to me has been a personal attack.
Because it's cheaper to live in bigger groups, so he doesn't necessarily make as much money as his house implies? Like this isn't rocket science.
Uh, yes. It's very obvious that's what you meant. No one is confused by what you are trying to say.
So then what's the issue?
