    Not gonna lie, this feels disingenuous.

    It’s just political bait disguised as a “meme”.

    It doesn’t even contain any good discourse about anarchism, just tired tropes of infantilisation.

    Eh, why even post this?

      Yeah feels like bait. Post something unfunny, tell people who point out it’s not funny that they need to lighten up and learn to take a joke. Momentarily replace feelings of emptiness with feelings of smugness and superiority.

      yeah i guess that this is targeted against these low-effort “we’ll just wing it when it comes to it” anarchist takes. like, a system will obviously just work fine and run itself once that the “greedy governing classes” will put their hands off the system.

      many people really put close to zero thought into how an anarchist society could function, and it shows. that’s why these kind of memes even exist. if we had actual high-quality discourse available instead of just “well, it’s just gonna work, trust me bro”, we wouldn’t have these memes.

        Sorry, but in the interest of being brief, I’d say you’re being victim-blamey. I bet your intentions are good, but we’re taught to think in this toxic way:

        “If all anarchists had good takes, {others wouldn’t attack them}.”

        “If baby anarchists never spoke until fully fledged, [we wouldn’t have this problem].”

        “If she didn’t buy a taser and get self defense training, <she shouldn’t dress like that>.”

        Yeah, no. When someone attacks, keep your attention on the attacker.
