    Pretty much all anarchists left here do. Most anarchists you’ll find anywhere else online have serious anti-“tankie” brainworms

    and most anarchists you find IRL don’t give a fuck about any of that and want you to come help them feed the homeless or tag the local overpass

      That hasn’t really been my experience irl. They do good local activism but the “anti-tankie brainworms” tend to rear their head anytime anything involving stuff outside of the countries borders.

      Every anarchist I know irl is very pro-Ukraine for example.

          Honestly, I think most ML have experienced this sort of thing, if you go to any other online ML space besides this one you’re hear anecdotes about this sort of thing a lot. But I think people are nervous about violating the anti-sectarian rule and/or offended the anarchists who post here so they feign having never heard of such a thing.

            I was wondering the same thing if it was the rules or people here genuinely had way better IRL experiences than me (very possible) I have zero issue with Anarchists; but I have the same experience as you with the brainworms IRL. Anarchists here are awesome and I’d wish they were more common around where I am.

              Yeah we just have the best anarchists here, and an anti-sectarianism rule to protect them.

              Irl anarchists have been very different in my experience.
