Hello, when I am writing this I don’t know in which community I will be posting this, but I would like to get some feedback about that.

To state my ideas upfront I consider myself as an eco-anarchist and antifa, I want to promote transparency, privacy and open-source to maximize freedom.

I write this post because, as you seen in the title, I am bored of debating my positions, but also because I start to loose hope, I want the best for the world but I feel like nobody even care about those stuff, that I’m just a ‘fucking marxist afraid of progress’.

There is so much things based on fake facts in politics, this is tiring me down. What ever you look into, crap facts are going to come up. I don’t want to fall into the common trap of “{what ever thing} is really EVIL”. But at the same time, the debates of today are so polarized that I feel like I don’t have the choice, saying, “I think that because I think it’s good” has absolutely no weight in a debate.

I am getting bored of all of this, too much talking, too little action. This is really something that is making me sad and depressed.

Do you feel the same way?

TL;DR, I cannot find good facts to justify ‘leftism’ and other ideas like free software, I feel like right wing just have no moral though, but am I just too irrational?

    anyone who calls an anarchist a “fucking marxist” is not worth debating in the first place because they clearly have no clue what words mean.

    i think it may help you to try a few things.

    1. walk away from “debates” that are just arguments
    2. try to keep a bit of emotional detachment during debates by turning the person’s argument around on them. you can do this by posing questions which will lead them to your point. be careful not to use this often on people you are close to though, there is a reason people hated talking with socrates
    3. instead of debates, have conversations. debating can be a great tool but you talk of wanting more action. you can get regular people to better understand ideas by explaining them simply, in a way that is relatable to them. and it becomes easier for you to help if you find out from them what they need.
