“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."
An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
Anarchists.
In charge.
Roll that around in your mind a bit.
As an anarchist, the only thing I want to be in charge of is my morning piss and my after coffee shit.
Anarchist: steals the throne and adds it as just another seat around the table where everyone’s voices matter
That’s not anarchist? Burn the chair and the table. There you go.
Your definition of anarchy is what they try to sell on Fox News. That’s not what it actually is. Anarchism is actually a very structured system that opposes a ruling class controlling people and grants more freedom to the individuals to govern.
Fox News just takes the most extreme way in which anarchism can go wrong and promotes that as the default state.
I want to extend on this.
Anarchist thought is the awareness that true control/authority is an illusion and entities have an inherent freedom to disobey and choose according to their own will but also that they have to live the consequences of any actions.
To create order in anarchy is to realise that your own interests co-align with those of others and that working together to build a better world where we navigate anarchy rather then dismiss it is key to create a condition where people can flourish and mutual freedom and respect can emerge naturally.
I like how
during COVID. We’re gonna be decades getting back to 10 years ago, but it’s good to know what label to assign to hayseed epidemiology.
Why are we trying to get back to anything from a decade ago? Shit sucked back then too. Let’s try something new
E: just wanted to add, im an anarchist that’s literally working towards medical school so that I have the knowledge and autonomy to provide free, real healtcare as part of my praxis. We aren’t all hillbillies, and even if we were that’s still a bullshit take
I mean not exactly, anarchism is about no hierarchy meaning its actually very involved with hearing all the voices. Destruction is not inherently anarchistic
Even ancaps wouldn’t burn it.
That’s not what the British/French aristocracy who bastardized and propagandized the concept of Anarchism want you to believe.

I know that anarchism revolves around dismembering institutions, but that’s a perfectly good chair!
Anarchism in practice is mostly finding perfectly good chairs in the dumpster then asking around if any one needs it.
Replace chair with bike, banana, computer, etc. and you have described probably what 90% + of anarachist movements actually spend their time doing. Oh and gardening. Anarchists often spend quite a bit of time gardening too.
I so badly want to get into gardening and grafting fruit onto trees around town, but I have a brown thumb. When I ignore my yard, I grow the most gorgeous fields of flowers, trees, and other plants mildly toxic to my dogs. But anytime I actually try… I’ve killed succulents…
If you really want to, hit me up. I’ve got about 40 trees and several very large garden beds.
Maybe start small with a tomato in a pot in a sunny spot.
I’m seriously going to hold you to that. If you recommend tomatoes, I’ll start with that, thank you!
Consider me held.
Makes perfect sense… If you have the IQ of Tommy Tuberville.
That’s a thing, but it’s just direct democracy
Sounds like something an idiot would say, hopefully people with that intellect level never have real authority…oh… I kinda said that oh in my head like a Plinket review does
One of my biggest reasons for being an anarchist is that idiots shouldn’t be in charge.
And everyone is an idiot.
