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.
Ah, I see, I failed to actually call out European Neoliberalism for what it is, because @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world is both ignorant and not ignorant about oppression.
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.
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.
Did arguing here help you abolish incarceration, reform the Japanese legal system?
You are absolutely free and welcome to prioritise that struggle, focus on it but… then why not focus on it? Why sit here, diving head-first into controversy, when you could do work in your community?
Should you not, instead, study law and become a constitutional judge? A legal scholar, investigating reforms to the system? Instead you sit here, online, being angry at mods for not having read the whole of the anarchist library. Pissing against the wind and whistling while you do so.

Go right ahead and mentor them. I have prisons to abolish.
Why are you tagging me in a separate thread? I have no interest in engaging with you here.
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.
If that was the case, why are we not working together to end European & American imperialism?

Freedom. Do you speak 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.
Then please
enslavespook your rhetorics anywhere else.Unless you’re helping me abolish incarceration, I see no futher use in policing my speech.
