I agree. Meeting up irl and chatting often is cool and sorely lacking. Before the internet, there was no other option. Now anarchist people only get together for larping photo-ops, projects etc.

I agree, occupying space in a pseudo-militaristic way is misguided, deluded and not anarchistic I’d add.

Hanging out to discuss stuff in ways that don’t have to fall into the tropes of cliques, the scene, the milieu, the squat, or intentional communities. Still I think that the people that can do that, are willing to do that, and want to do that for a long enough time are few and far apart.

It’s like someone said one time in a discussion, about there being a critique of family and moving away from that, but friendship perhaps being a more precarious, flimsy and ephemeral substitute. Increasingly people have fewer friends and friendships last less, people are uprooted and have to move often, change jobs and even schools since young.
