Even if you take their word fpr it that all they want is a stateless society with no hierarchy, firearms are power. Those with guns have it. Those without, dont.

I usually get along with anarcho commies fine. Authcoms can fuck right off though.

I'm gonna cut myself off here before I get too political. I might say a couple good books are the gulag archipelago and one day in the life of ivan denisovich

I know several ancoms. All of them started to support more and more of the State as time went on. I simply do not trust them.

Scratch that, I *did* know ancoms

Same here. Every ancom I've met turned out to be highly authoritarian people in denial

I'd agree with them on certain traditionally left topics like gay rights, but then they'd go on about wanting to institutionally curb stomp people for thought crime after I got to know them

Yeah I typically just smile and go about my business when they talk like that.

^the use of violence to achieve political power over others should be considered wrong, but there seems to be a disconnect somewhere with them.

I am willing to use violence in *self defense* against an *imminent physical threat* in order to preserve my life, liberty, and persuit of happiness. Theres a difference

Some times I could get through to them though by pointing out how their willingness to use law to push down on those they disagree with is fascist

Although I did find a cool Facebook page about uniting against the state. Live and let live for everything else.

Like one dude I know who's an anarchist but pretty left leaning. Sometimes he lets emotion get the better of him and talks about using the legal system to oppress others who aren't hurting anyone. I'm just like, it's all fun and games until you're at the wrong end of the barrel, and everyone thinks they're in the right so try to put yourself in their shoes.
A lot of the radical authoritarians seem to get it in their heads that their political opponents are inhuman, or subhuman, so it's easy to justify atrocities.

Got damnit

we're number 11 on the site, so that's epic

I don't even know what a bump is. Besides The columbian kind lol

and of those top 11, we have the most online people

That's awsome but it does put a spotlight on us.

it's both a good thing and a bad thing

It spreads our message and influence, but at the same time, it is likely to draw attention from some undesired three letter agencies

We have the most people online on all of disboard?

at least from the top 11

I can take a more in depth look if you'd like

Holy smokes

Even if it's just in the Other category that's still epic bros.

we're not the biggest, but from what I've seen so far, we are definitely high up there in numbers
