Thought I'd bring this up here as well. I think anti-capitalism is a waste of time at this point in history.

Hey brah, your rant in reddit said there's a belief that capitalism was being replaced by a new type of feudalism,,,,duUuh, it's called neo-feudalism, and just educate you, feudalism was the dominant proto-capitalist monarchist form of political economy from the 8th century until the Industrial Rev, when capitalism and a billionaire barons replaced it. It's all a big cycle with the same basic human dynamic driving it!

yep! you sure did throw out an embarrassingly stupid assertion with zero effort. maybe try asking a question if you actually want to get anything out of the internet? that's if the brainworms haven't already eaten the portion where curiosity happens

no, he's just addicted to posting and gets validation from literally any response, including all the negative stuff BUT i personally feel that sirziggles is a great example of how don't-feed-the-trolls logic ended up making all of @news appear in an unfair light over time

like, if you chose to do very permissive moderation, which @news has always done (in spite of all the claims to the contrary, which are stupid and wrong), then you tend to collect these toxic posters who start to create the illusion that the space is actually about their terrible ideas

they know this and they exploit it. they flood the space with their toxic crap, pushing at the line of what gets deleted, spray every wall with shit and make the mods work til they're exhausted

SO you have to tear their garbage to shreds and be awful to them OR you have to moderate the shit out of interesting topics which isn't very anarchist. it's a tension you can never truly solve and the "marketplace" of ideas becomes a thunderdome, which isn't great for the tender souls but ... i like fighting. anarchists kind of need to like fighting or else they will almost always have a bad time

no. it is not. it is a red flag that people are stuck in leftism if they use this way to describe themselves, just like anti-imperialist. not that anarchists are not against these things, but the totality is so much more than these. besides, a good chunk of people i know who still use these words seem to have a surplus of $ and are attempting to rid themselves of some guilt, often criticizing other people's "capitalistic" survival strategies.
