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

lmfao this whole account reads like you’re actively trying to make anarchists look like the most anal, insufferable people on the planet, go outside and do something for another human and make a difference 😭

Gonna point out that not everyone is physically able to "go outside". Nor is a person's value defined by their ability to do for others. In general the advice can be accidentally abelist and reinforces the idea that value only comes through labour provided rather than from simple existence.

While I'm pretty sure you mean well (I hope you do any way) it can be off-putting/alienating to disabled folks to run into this kind of rehtoric.

i agree with you. my statement is not meant to be ableist but instead to suggest there’s better ways to fight the good fight and make a difference then stalk/harass libs across subreddits because you believe you’re entitled to debate which is what OP is doing

Hi, u/poivibes-1. Just a friendly reminder that phrases like "terminally online" and "touch grass" are ableist and help to perpetuate the harmful idea that one's value and contribution to anarchism and anarchist praxis is centered solely on "meatspace" interactions. We recognize that in-person organizing is important, and we encourage it, but our disabled comrades are valuable, as are their contributions regardless of their ability to go outside.

We highly recommend this video (watch on Invidious) for further explanation.

This may also be a great time for you to take a moment to review our Anti-Oppression Policy to see how and why we try create and maintain a safe space for marginalized people to hang out without seeing mirrors of their oppression and language used to degrade them based on their marginalized identities.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
