    again, do some self crit

    the point was that many anarchists are indistinguishable from centrists when it comes to actual geopolitical issues, because they have internalized western propaganda about the West’s rivals

    propaganda is not just lies (though some of it is actual lies), but emphasis

    nothing you’ve written in this thread is a genuine engagement with people who try to refute western propaganda about the west’s rivals, and you’ve written nothing that would indicate that you’re not a liberal who just likes anarchist aesthetics with a vague handwavy criticism of “nation states”

      simply gotta disagree. anarchists reject empire and authority. Centrists often support imperialism so long as it is favoring their own country. Anarchists typically oppose the imperialism of their own countries more than anything else.

      I’m really trying to engage with people here and I’ve conceded multiple good points. I’ve learned some things and I’m seeing new perspectives.

      Also why do you care so much about finding a way to call me a liberal it’s obsessive :P
