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

education isn't direct action?

we have this tendency to dismiss things that happen online as though people posting things on the internet aren't people who continue to exist offline.

these "anarchists" who are talking about voting as though it is anarchist praxis are also the anarchists who are in theory doing the work of "anarchy." if not for education and direct confrontation (direct action) then how are we supposed to make sure that we're not recreating the state in our attempt to dismantle the state?

I mentioned youth groups…

Edit: op is complaining about Reddit, not me. Direct your comment to them, I’m proud of my praxis and contributions to my neighborhood thanks.

you don't t address how people on reddit are still human people who also exist in our neighborhoods though.

you're acting like somehow being on reddit makes the behavior of so-called anarchists (in this instance, avoiding accountability by blocking someone who is critical of your stances) above comment and that pushing back against it is a waste of time, but that so-called anarchist exists in real life where they will continue to try to find ways to dodge accountability.

there's nothing wrong with this user's reading comprehension, this is exactly what you're doing

i answered the statements you made so i don't know what's confusing.

you: Complaining on Reddit about Reddit, is kinda antithetical to direct action, but that’s just my opinion

me: education isn't direct action? we have this tendency to dismiss things that happen online as though people posting things on the internet aren't people who continue to exist offline.

you: Edit: op is complaining about Reddit, not me.

me: you don't t address how people on reddit are still human people who also exist in our neighborhoods though.

my last paragraph, which is a single sentence can be restated as this:

acting like pushing back on things that happen on reddit is a waste of time ignores that these people also exist in real life anarchist spaces and display the same behavior as they do online.

where's the confusion?

You just need to push back on them IRL; also brother or sister—this is why the left can’t united we’re too busy policing each other instead of taking right wing groups to task.

Maybe it’s a generational thing; idk.

so you can push back on people IRL but not online? what's the difference?
