    It’s not a problem that you think that way, but when it’s time to go outside, touch grass, and unionize a workplace/volunteer to help marginalized people/do community outreach/other praxis, do you consider other people in the organization having an “authoritarian” ideology a dealbreaker?

      I’ve been known to unite against a common enemy with most kinds. That doesn’t mean I agree with them or like them or empower them.

      But most direct action I’m involved in is with the tribe I’ve found IRL, who think like I do, or it’s done anonymously. So there’s not a lot of room for quizzing about some kind of needless hierarchy of beliefs. If someone shows up at a protest supporting an issue, and they’re supporting that issue, I’m not going to stop and quiz them about their other beliefs.

      We’re online. I’m allowed to be vocal in my dislike of any specificity. It’s usually needless to rank those dislikes.

          Imagine assuming everyone needs an organization to do anything.

          That kind of needless hierarchy is exactly what I’m talking about.

            my primary org is anarchosyndical but by all means keep appropriating ‘tribe’ because you think it’s a necessarily flat structure and have no idea how racist and colonial you sound.

            you radlibs give anarchism a bad name.

              You’re making a lot of assumptions. You really want to be offended by me. You know nothing of the people I associate with, who they are, what they stand for.

              I’m not going to dox myself in an attempt to correct you. And the constant insults have grown old.

              We’re quite finished.
