    Rhetorics are praxis, yours are shit. Be less angry. Project less of your pain on random passers-by. Assume innocence. If you can’t, work on it until you can. If you don’t understand why that’s the case, why it’s a bad idea to preach from on-high as an Anarchist…

        Well, would you mind telling what I should read to understand it better? The first link you send I did read, the second has thousands of files, so I didn’t know where to start.

        That is not ignorance. That’ a chance to educate, and you blew it. Did you send them a link to the anarchist library or something and really expect them to read it. At that point you should have been asking what kind of question, aspects, interests them most, and give some pointers.

        Anarchy just shifts the problem from “people with the most money bully the people with less” to “people with the most guns bully the people with less”

        That is not bad faith, but ignorance. Presumably because you failed to give a proper and vulgar definition yourself. Vulgar as in “doesn’t use misleading terms such as ‘state’ which has a completely different meaning in the dictionary than it does in anarchist theory so you should keep it out of first impressions and leave it to the history seminar”.

        Frankly speaking, if you can’t advocate for anarchism without getting the term anarchy or any politics involved, you’re not doing it right. Not that that’s always the best approach, but it is a viable and valuable approach.

        Or do you actually have something to deoppress in Europe that I can help with?

        Why, are we so flawless on the continent that you’re itching for any opportunity, any, to apply your vast skills of deoppression? Go outside. You don’t need me to point out shit, shit should be obvious, question is how to grow flowers on it.

              There you go, @barsoap@lemm.ee , you have your Rhetorics answered.

              I apologize, Thekingoflorda. Someone thinks people can be convinced of a new political thought over a thread, instead of years of immersion and peer review.

                As if convincing me was in any way your goal. You are clearly only here to feel morally superior and smarter then other people.

                Indeed. What’s your actual motivation, here: Advocate for Anarchism, or be angry at Neoliberals? Why frame the whole thing as “against bad thing” instead of “in favour of good thing”? Is there a reasoning behind it?

                Are other people the reason they can’t be convinced, or at least their interest be piqued, or your combative approach? Are you willing to entertain that possibility or does your mind shy away from it, seeking not an answer to the question but justifications to ignore it?

                    I don’t mind you not telling me the answers to those questions. They are not intended to put you on the spot, or to be used to judge you. But I do suggest you be honest with yourself when answering them, for yourself.

                    Also freedom is a spook read some Stirner.
