    It also helps that the anarchists we have here are actual anarchists, rather than the “I learned everything I know about politics from a neckbeard western chauvinist twitch streamer and I vote blue no matter who” types you’ll find cosplaying as anarchists over on reddit-logo

      That’s kinda what I mean, like I want to find another server with principled anti-imperialist anarchist types. But the anarchists that keep popping up are all like “yeah I’m an anarchist, I watch Vaush streams”

      There’s a higher bar than this that the anarchists here take, which is supporting China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Laos along with Rojava, the Zapatistas, Revolutionary Catalonia, the KPAM, and the Paris Commune.

      A lot of this comes from a constant and relentless unmasking of American propaganda.
