    and most anarchists you find IRL don’t give a fuck about any of that

    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.
