    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.

          Then please enslavespook your rhetorics anywhere else.

          Unless you’re helping me abolish incarceration, I see no futher use in policing my speech.

            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.

                I’m neither Japanese nor a legal scholar of any kind nor focussed on legal system / prison reform.

                You said you are. Act like it. Or don’t, but then don’t say you are. The only thing I’m asking of you here is self-consistency. Focus on your focus. If in doubt, observe your process of focussing until you’ve figured out what you’re actually drawn to (the latter might feel suspiciously like Zen because it is Zen, with all the BS trappings removed).

                  Then we have nothing further to converse.

                    Then I guess you should unsubscribe from this community because it’s highly doubtful you’ll ever find anyone to talk to here.
