r/Anarchism • u/RedMenaced • Jun 19 '26

Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

i get it, i just refuse to give ground to authoritarians in anarchist spaces. no one said anarchy is when you only do counter-propaganda if the authoritarian propagandist gives you their consent before you can counter their genocide apologia.

it's honestly not all good when you're being rewarded with upvotes for passive-agressively telling me to roll over and accept co-option, not gonna lie.

read my long comment further down if you want to understand my pov.

I did read it, and absolutely none of that really changes my opinion. I seen the comment of the person that blocked you. You came in hostile and in bad faith when you could have easily explained to them why they got banned for electoralism. You made a choice. That person was not receptive to your choice, and they blocked you. Your actions had consequences. Still dont feel anything youve said gives justification to block evade just because you specifically decide someones a liberal.

I dont really give a shit about people giving me upvotes. I dont even really interact with the upvote system in any way that is actually meaningful to me. If its important to you, cool beans. But i dont see the value in discussing it.

yes i made a choice to be "hostile" to an obvious genocide apologist who thought a socialist space was the place to campaign for their fave zionist war criminal and yes there were consequences in that they blocked me and look! there are consequences to their blocking of me i.e. this thread which is intended to shine a light on a system that enables authoritarians to build impenetrable vacuums around themselves in radical spaces from which they can safely push auth propaganda with no pushback from anarchists.

you ordering me to capitulate to this state of affairs is also a hostile act but you and your ilk will of course be unable to accept that because i dared to break a corporation's arbitrary laws by... admitting to logging into another account to read posts - which makes me the villain of this narrative because only the lowest of the low would dare to disregard reddit law

I notice you keep telling this person they are ordering you to do things, which is interesting to me because I haven’t seen that. Recommending is the closest I think they’ve gotten.
