The anarchist space performs an essential role for radicalization - it allows a way for someone to radicalize left without rejecting the narrative posed by the capitalist propaganda machine. This is how I was first radicalized. The capitalist propaganda is so pervasive that its easy to take many of its assumptions for granted. Even if you begin to reject the narrative, it’s hard to avoid falling into the assumptions posed by it. Radicalizing leftward makes it easier to reject the capitalist narrative later, allowing radicalization to happen in phases.

Much of the infighting between anarchists and tankies is, in my view, created by the capitalist propaganda machine. By manufacturing conflict they make coordination between us more difficult, and also slow the radicalization process from anarchist to tankie.

If you’re sorry about colonialism than why aren’t you advocating for the return of the Koh-i-noor?

Yeah, I’m in this picture - attempted back in December. In order for me to regain hope I had to focus on the goal of leaving the US and moving to China.

Idk, I feel like there are a lot of anarchists that honestly believe that both sides are bad - i.e. they’ve radicalized left without learning to reject the capitalist propaganda machine

Thank you - that means a lot. I’d love to meet up when the time comes.

I’ve just been looking through a chinese-english dictionary and watching youtube videos. I plan to take a class once I go to China - I feel like that’s gonna be the easiest way

CIA bots making bad-faith arguments to defame and fracture leftist movements, I suspect.

Most importantly, stop sexualizing children. Every time I see it I think to myself “goddammit Japan tf is wrong with you”. Still prefer watching it over hyperindividualistic Hollywood trash though

Holy fuck that’s disgustingly inaccurate. If anything, Ukraine is analogous to Israel, when the Donbass being analogous to Palestine.

The US has taken the side of the genociders in both conflicts. Plus it’s super gross to try to determine which act of mass murderer is worse, even if you had perfect information which you never do in such a situation

Yeah, these types of memes only affect people who already agree with the premise

Although now that I think about it, the thing that made me reconsider the western narrative on China was YouTube videos showing off the best parts of China - but that only worked because it was far better than the best part of any place I’d ever been
