And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

  • So your answer is: Yes, you would support a genocide if 70% of the population supported it.

    I know enough not to try talking any sense into you. I've seen that you're nothing but a conservative status quo warrior. But I'm thankful anyone who sees this thread will be clear on what you are.

      • You're using the history of an appalling state founded on racism with a history of genocide that made the Nazis shudder?

        Maybe don't use US history as an example of what we should look up to. It's a cautionary tale.

        And we don't need to decide between freedom and LGBTQ+ rights. Any valid system would protect these things in spite of what 70% of people might be deceived into believing

        • Thank you for confirming you don't believe in democracy as a means of coming to decisions.

          • I do believe in democracy. A democracy is not "vote for this terrible person who's less terrible than the other terrible person."

            Anarchist communities have democracy, we don't

            • A democracy is not “vote for this terrible person who’s less terrible than the other terrible person.”

              It is if a large proportion of the voters believe in terrible positions.

              Anarchist communities have democracy, we don’t

              I'm curious - what happens when the anarchist community votes to exclude others from their community? Is that anarcho-fascism?

                And you're just fine with that, so the answer to my question was "yes"

                And that's... not how anarchy works. People are only excluded if they are doing something really egregiously antithetical to anarchism -- for example, attempting to introduce hierarchical structures or otherwise treat others inequitably.

                Read the table of contents to find the relevant section. I understand not comprehending anarchism because anarchists too have been historically oppressed and our ideas muddied.

                • And that’s… not how anarchy works.

                  It literally is. Acceptance into an anarchist commune has, historically, been far from guaranteed just by wandering in and saying "I would like to automatically be a full member of your commune." when there are large portions of the population which are quite opposed to the ideals you want to uphold.

                  "You see, MY democracy where we strip people of voting rights and keep them as second-class citizens for what they believe is way better than those other so-called democracies where people vote based on what they believe!"

                  Very democratic, 10/10. Worst part is, it both contradicts your prior point, and it's not even a particularly anarchist answer.
