These are all from 2020

Yeah they are reactionary christians. A radical christian would be like the Catholic Workers and Dorothy Day, or the Fasci Siciliani, or Leo Tolstoy

Anarcho-nihilists and insurrectionary anarchists are the ones typically using the symbol, and they don’t usually care if its the Moorcock one or the Games Workshop one. Won’t deny, yeah this one’s the Games Workshop version. But I also think its basically arguing semantics whether they’re using the Moorcock one, an anarcho-nihilist one, or a GW one. Whether its the GW one or not is sorta irrelevant (I was just trying to provide some history and context, won’t deny I missed the circle which does make it the GW version), as its clearly being used in an anarchist context. All I was saying was Moorcock is credited with the original, and Games Workshop were directly inspired by Moorcock and also used it. However I do not feel its fair to equate op or anyone that uses the symbol to fascists. Yes some use the chaos star but it is a very specific and niche version of it.

I also don’t think its a good idea to just give up the symbol because a couple irrelevant basement dwelling fascists try to use a niche version of the chaos star. I’m tired of leftists just letting fascists take symbols away without a fight. I don’t see Marxists dropping the hammer and sickle cause NazBols use it.

Lastly, anarchists are certainly beefing with tankies. And they are going to use their symbols to do it. Chaos star included because it is an anarchist symbol whether you agree with its use or not. I have it on my punk jacket, I am a very clear anarchist, and I very much have beef with tankies because I see them as fascists with a red coat of paint.

I like it here cause they just made rules against tankie behavior. Yes this has kicked up a lot of dirt as the tankies are kicking and sealioning like they usually do when pushed against. But as an anarchist, I like that they have taken this stance as it makes me feel welcome. They also are cracking down on any sort of bigotry in general which I like that they are making it a safe and welcoming place. Lastly, I think the posts are better (although you might be seeing a lot of pro and anti-tankie posting till the dust settles). I just blocked the lemmy.ml instance cause I am fed up with their bullshit

Its used by a lot. In your case (anarchism) its the symbol for anarcho-nihilism. Originates from a Michael Moorcock book series

The chaos star comes from before Warhammer. It comes from the Elric of Malniboné books by Michael Moorcock (unfortunate last name lol). The symbol has been adopted by anarcho-nihilists, which is the context for this usage

Anyone who thinks Tankies and anarchists can get along should look up the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainoan Black Army, the Kronstadt Rebellion, and the Korean People’s Association in Manchuria and see what happened when they all worked with tankies. And if anyone wants to see how tankies compare today heres some fucked up shit about the largest ML party in the US.

PSL has defended abusers and harassed victims for speaking up, have policed and harassed the members for liking and sharing things that don’t follow the party’s strict platform, and have ruined actions that could have made real change all because they care more about public image than actual effective action. PSL is a cult, your friends are in a cult, and you are advocating for a cult.

Fuck ML’s, they are tankies. They are literally what the term tankie was invented to describe. Tankie is an authoritarian leftist. Specifically referring to the use of tanks by the USSR to suppress the Hungarian revolution (and can be extend to include China using tanks at Tiananmen Square). Fascists with red characteristics is what they are. If space is made for tankie behavior to be welcome here, then I, as an anarchist, am not welcome here. Anti-sectarian talk is only ever used as an excuse by tankies to force anarchists to toe the lone.

Liberals learning about the term tankie was a trajedy. But I say we continue to use it (rules should clearly define it though) so we can try to maintain its original meaning rather than let them misuse and coopt it

Thats as best of a why as we got. Sometimes things don’t have clear reasons or origins

Here’s a video full of them. I am done and fulfilled my end of this interaction. I will not fall victim to tankie sealioning.

Engels was a bourgeoisie cunt that doesn’t understand what the word “authority” means.

You mean fascism with red characteristics

For ADHD, very quick and easy (however I have been told that is not normal). I met with my PCP and said I wanted an ADHD diagnosis to get accomodations and emphasized I didn’t want a prescription, cause I take enough meds as it is and would prefer to learn how to cope without the use of meds. I also explained to him my history grappling with my ADHD especially in school. The important thing here was showing it is a long time and consistent problem, one that exists in multiple settings (not just school, but at home, and work too). All of this made my doctor feel comfortable giving me the diagnosis. For autism, I haven’t started the process yet, waiting on a referral cause my doctor wasn’t comfortable diagnosing it.

If you want meds to help manage ADHD it will probably be a little harder to get the diagnosis, but I think as long as you establish that it is a long patterned history in more than just one setting, establish clearly why you want the diagnosis, and give detailed examples and stories of the symptoms (and maybe a little bit of luck) I think you should be fine.

I hope this eases your worries a bit and I hope it helped. Rooting for you.

As others have said, I think its important to include some level of accountability for moderators. Ways for the users to identify when a moderator is abusing their responsibilities and clear, fair, and accessible process for users to remove them from those responsibilities in a case of consistent abuse.

The closest thing an anarchist would ever advocate for in regards to an internal peacekeeping force would be some sort of community defense to defend against violent threats to community. But there would be ways to prevent it from becoming centralized and abusive. One way is by training everyone in the community in community defense and rotating the role. Their are other ways as well. But besides the point

I found out I was neurodivergent cause I became friends with a lot of people who are, and when I would talk about my experiences they would basically tell me its related to this or that disability. So I realized I was neurodivergent from my friends basically telling me I was. I came to accept it but never felt comfortable identifying as neurodivergent. Always felt I needed to specify “probably have ADHD” or “I probably have autism.” Always felt like I needed to add plausible deniability to avoid being accused of self-diagnosing. Basically I wasn’t confident enough. When I got my diagnosis I didn’t feel like I needed to do that anymore. I could say with confidence “I have ADHD.” It made my experiences in school feel real, and took away a lot of the guilt I felt for failing. I realized I was not the problem, I just wasn’t getting the treatment I needed to succeed.

I have the nsfw blur setting off lol

I went my whole childhood without a diagnosis cause all the adults in my life kept kicking the can down the road saying I’d grow out of it. Didn’t get diagnosed till this year, and I am about to be in my mid twenties. It was very validating to get the diagnosis. Gonna get checked for autism too
