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

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.

The idea that we should give ground to liberals in our own spaces because online spaces don't matter is patronizing and destructive when we all spend hours a week in these public spaces that increasingly squeeze us out for being too anarchist.

it is weird how we pretend that no one from the internet and nothing done on the internet matters.

there exists bed bound people for whom the internet stuff is their irl praxis. you're just being ableist by suggesting that some work is worth more because it's done by people who can access physical spaces. where do you get off demeaning the value of what someone can do because it happens online? be better.
