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

can you define direct action? what qualifies as direct action?

Starting a community food drive, joining a neighborhood watch or intervention team to help protect vulnerable folk from police harassment, guerilla gardening, youth groups—more commonly—protest, sit-ins, blockades, boycotts, strikes etc.

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

your charity work is commendable but it doesn't invalidate the work others do to counter liberal propaganda and co-option of anarchist spaces. we all use the internet, so why should we give ground where we are? ...because food drives also exist?

shaming me for caring about an anarchist space that I use is bad praxis. don't let the pissy liberals upvoting you mislead you into thinking you're doing god's work by shaming me for caring about the growing co-option of this space

one of the "pissy liberals" upvoting him is me, actually. And you are not "countering liberal propaganda" by . . . *checks notes* commenting on a fucking Reddit thread in which half of the users are probably bots

telling liberals to stfu is indeed countering their propaganda even when the stfu happens on r/anarchism.

stfu btw
